Bad Boy, created by Ron Leshem and Hagar Ben Asher, is based on the life story of Daniel Chen, who also co-created the series.<\/p>\n

Bad Boy,<\/a> an Israeli drama series shown on Hot and Netflix, received a nomination for the International Emmy Award for Best Drama Series on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The winners will be announced at a festive ceremony to be held in New York on November 24.<\/p>\n

Bad Boy,<\/a> created by Ron Leshem and Hagar Ben Asher, is based on the life story of Daniel Chen, who also co-created the series. Chen went to prison as a teen and later became a standup comedian. The series was created by Tedy Productions and SIPUR and was shown in Israel on Hot. When it was released on Netflix earlier this year, it hit the top 10 in 47 countries around the world. It won nine awards from the Israeli Television Academy, Israel\u2019s equivalent of the Emmys, including Best Drama.<\/p>\n

Leshem met Chen when he was working as a journalist and did a feature on a juvenile prison and years later learned that Chen had become a comedian. That sparked an idea for Leshem, \u201cto do a show about the soul of a comedian, who uses humor as a survival tool in jail,\u201d he said in an interview with the Jerusalem Post earlier this year. \u201cThis was really my passion project.\u201d<\/p>\n
