'Shababnikim' Season 3: What We Know About Our Favorite Yeshiva Bad Boys' Return
Warning: This article contains spoilers for previous seasons of 'Shababnikim' (but honestly, by now, you seriously should have watched it!)


Remember when we thought keeping up with the Kardashians was dramatic? Try keeping up with four fashion-forward yeshiva students navigating the tightrope between Torah and temptation. 'Shababnikim' (or 'The New Black' for international viewers) has kept us glued to our screens with its perfect blend of religious insight and delicious drama, and now we're all waiting for Season 3 like our lives depend on it.
The Story So Far
If you've been living under a rock (or studying too hard in the beit midrash), 'Shababnikim' follows our favorite foursome of not-your-typical yeshiva students. There's Avinoam (Daniel Gad), the politician's son who could charm his way out of any situation; Dov/Lazer (Omer Perelman Striks), whose American designer suits are as sharp as his wit; Meir (Israel Attias), bringing that Sephardi swagger to every scene; and Gedaliah (Ori Laizerouvich), whose piety somehow makes him the group's wildcard.
After two seasons of watching them navigate matchmakers, modernization, and maintaining their religious identity (while looking fabulous in black and white), we're all dying to know what's next for our scholarly squad.
Season 3: The Great Unknown
While HOT3 has been keeping details about Season 3 under wraps, rumors are swirling. Post-yeshiva expulsion life? New romantic entanglements? More designer suit drama? The possibilities are endless.
International viewers are particularly keen to know if ChaiFlicks will continue to be their gateway to these Haredi heartthrobs, though no official streaming dates have been announced.
What We're Dying to Know
- Will Avinoam finally find a match that satisfies both his heart and his father's political ambitions? (Please say yes.)
- Can Dov balance his New York connections with his Jerusalem reality?
- Is Meir going to continue breaking stereotypes and hearts in equal measure?
- And what about Gedaliah - will his strict adherence to tradition continue to be tested?
The Wait Continues
While we don't have a confirmed release date yet (we're checking obsessively), the show's previous success - including four Israeli Television Awards - suggests that the wait will be worth it.
Until then, we'll be here, rewatching previous seasons and debating whether Avinoam's latest crisis of faith or Dov's suit collection was more compelling. After all, in the world of 'Shababnikim', even studying Gemara comes with a side of style.
Stay tuned for more updates on Season 3.
