(IDEX Online) - Netflix is to screen an eight-part crime drama set in the heart of Antwerp's diamond district. Diamonds charts the story of an ultra-orthodox Jewish family whose youngest son commits suicide.His long-estranged brother Noah (Belgian actor Kevin Janssens) returns to take charge of the family business, using mafia-style methods that are anything but orthodox.The drama has been co-created by Israelis Yuval Yefet and Rotem Shamir, the pair behind award-winning Fauda, and Line in the Sand. It is in Dutch, English and Yiddish.The show is being co-produced by Israeli production company Keshet International and Belgium's De Mensen. It has been jointly commissioned by Netflix and the Belgian public broadcaster Een.Cecilia Verheyden, co-director of Diamonds said: "We'd like to describe this series as The Godfather in the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Antwerp."That is obvious for this genre. It is a super thrilling and above all unique story: an industry that was ran for years by one community, isn't something you see anywhere else in the world. "But what attracts me the most, is that it is a family drama, about the relation between brothers and sisters."Filming has already taken place in Antwerp. No date has yet been given for its release.Pic courtesy Keshet International / De Mensen.
