Hot on the heels of last year’s surprise hit Shtisel, Netflix has returned to Jewish themes for it’s latest drama, Unorthodox, but this time with a very different take on the subject matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shira Haas, the Israeli actress who played Ruchami Weiss in Shtisel, is also back, this time as Esther Shapiro, a young woman who leaves an unhappy marriage within the Hasidic Satmar community in Brooklyn for a new life in Berlin.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trailer, which dropped on March 6, portrays Esther’s emotional experience of moving beyond the world she knew, and features scenes of her casting off her sheitel to pursue her own interests. The show will hit the platform on March 26.<\/span><\/p>\n
