Gitit Fisher Reveals Unexpected Twist: On Standby Gets Season 2

Gitit Fisher’s Israeli comedy series *On Standby* has officially been renewed for a second season on the local broadcaster Yes. The renewal was confirmed by Yes, and the show will continue to air on its network and VOD platform.

The series follows 33‑year‑old airport security screener Sagit, whose blunt observations and chaotic life turn everyday moments into uproarious mishaps.

The first season performed strongly on Yes and its Video‑on‑Demand platform, drawing positive audience reception across Israel. Fisher co‑creates and stars in the show, working alongside Jonathan Gurfinkel, who recently directed Apple TV’s *Unconditional*.

Production is handled by Yoav Gross Productions, with Fisher represented by the company’s Gaga Management arm. The indie studio has also hired We Will Dance Again EP Ariel Weisbrod as content chief.

“I honestly feel like I wrote Season 2 in my heart a long time ago, so I can’t wait to finally put it onto the page,” Fisher told Yes. “Putting this show out there felt like taking a piece of my own heart and laying it on the table.

Seeing people embrace it so warmly has been deeply moving, and I’m just so ready to pour everything else I have into this next chapter.”

## Background & Context

*On Standby* debuted as an online comedy act before expanding into stand‑up and television. Its premise centers on Sagit’s honest commentary on the world and the chaotic personal life that spills into his professional environment.

The series’ humor stems from turning ordinary airport interactions into “painfully funny disasters.” The show’s success on Yes prompted the network to green‑light a second season, affirming its popularity among Israeli viewers.

The production team includes co‑creator Jonathan Gurfinkel, known for directing Apple TV’s *Unconditional*. Production duties are overseen by Yoav Gross Productions, while Fisher’s talent representation comes through Gaga Management.

The indie studio recently added Ariel Weisbrod as content chief, signaling a strengthened creative leadership for the forthcoming season.

With the renewed support from Yes and its VOD platform, the show is poised to continue engaging audiences with its sharp wit and relatable chaos.
