Oded Davidoff and Daniel Finkelman created One Day in October, reportedly based on real-life accounts.

Fernando Szew, who serves as president at Fox Entertainment Studios, spoke about the “profound impact” of the October 7 attacks. “From the very beginning, we approached this series with the utmost care, sensitivity and urgency to ensure that the stories were told with authenticity and respect and paying homage to the victims and the heroic survivors,” he shared (via Variety).

Meanwhile, Finkelman addressed what the objective was behind making the series. “For me, film and television have always been more than entertainment, they are a way to bear witness. These are stories of ordinary people facing extraordinary moments,” he said. “In a time when truth is fragile, the most powerful thing we can do is to appeal to humanity itself. My hope is that these stories will open hearts and spark meaningful conversation.”
