The four-part docuseries will premiere December 3rd
Paramount+ has announced As1One: The Israeli-Palestinian Pop Music Journey will premiere on Tuesday, December 3rd 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 five years, 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 7, 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 and their upcoming single, “Stranger,” due on Friday, November 15th, and more.
Envisioned by music entrepreneurs James Diener and Ken Levitan, As1One 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.
