PARAMOUNT+ ANNOUNCES NEW "AS1ONE: THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN POP MUSIC JOURNEY"

The Four-part Docuseries will Premiere December 3

Featured Original Music from the Group includes New Single "Stranger" due this Friday, November 15

Nov. 13, 2024 - Paramount+ today announced AS1ONE: THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN POP MUSIC JOURNEY will premiere Tuesday, December 3 on the service. The As1One Production Company docuseries in association with Best Production Company for MTV Entertainment Studios is a coming-of-age series based on the lives of six young men - the world's first mixed Israeli-Palestinian pop group - that came together to form the next global hit pop group, as1one.

Throughout this compelling four-part docuseries, music being the ultimate connector is explored in the chronicled journey to create the world's first Israeli-Palestinian pop group. Over a five year period, the band members share their ups and downs including the challenging audition process in 2020; their language barriers, intense rehearsals, emotional highs and lows as they found their footing; navigating the very unexpected world events that happened on October 7th, 2023 - the morning after they flew to LA to record their first album; and the monumental challenges they have faced each day since. With so much more at stake because of the war, the band finds greater purpose in their music now representing something much greater than the six of them.

The docuseries will also feature original music from the group including their debut single, "All Eyes On Us," featuring Nile Rodgers as well as their upcoming single, "Stranger," due this Friday, Nov. 15, and more.

Envisioned by music entrepreneurs James Diener and Ken Levitan, AS1ONE: THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN POP MUSIC JOURNEY spotlights the work of platinum-selling artists and producers, stylists, choreographers and industry leaders, all collaborating to create a group that embodies unity, with members agreeing to disagree on the war in their homeland as they focus on making music together. Amidst raw interactions and real-world challenges, their journey unfolds with a distinctive edge - just like the unique composition of their band. Each step captures the authenticity that sets them apart, making their story as compelling as their sound.

AS1ONE: THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN POP MUSIC JOURNEY is produced by Ken Levitan, James Diener, Ami Nir and Kevin Bartel alongside Bruce Gillmer for MTV Entertainment Studios.
