Okay, I think I've found all the TTW spoilers one can find online, so here they are. They're not VERY spoilery, but they're... interesting. So they're in white. Highlight to read.
Okay, so Avner Bernheimer is the source of these spoilers, from various interviews with him. He doesn't let on too much when he's asked about the second season, but from what I've gathered, someone is going to die, a few characters will leave and he gives ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE as to which ones, BUT he did say that he loved Ziona and she's gonna have a bigger role in the upcoming season.
Does anyone have any guesses as to who will die and who will leave?

Okay, so I contacted the production company of 'Til the Wedding, because you guys aren't the only ones who are wondering when the second season will air. It's a damn shame that we don't have a regular season schedule the way that American TV seems to have. But like I was saying, I wanted to know too. So I was told that the season is supposed to air in 2010 (arriving here in about three months, hmmm... I am not the most patient person ever).
What made me really happy was to hear that they are planning a big media campaign for the show when it returns, which means that it did well despite not being highly publicized, and that they're expecting the second season to do just as well.
Also, Offer Schechter is starring in a new Israeli movie called Fobidilia (in Hebrew, I'd translate it as 'Phobidyll', a combination of the words 'phobia' and 'idyll'). It was screened in Toronto this past week and got good reviews, so if there are any Israeli film festivals in your vicinity, there's a good chance this movie is being played there.

Thank you so much for checking into this matan!!! That's so neat that they are going to do a big media campaign plus knowing that they are invested in the show makes the wait seem worthwhile (now, i just have to hold myself together until they are back..... ) *does a happy dance* ;D

matan4il: Thanks for the update!! Glad to see some news about the new season. I can't wait for it either. It's like long overdue!! I need my Harel fix!! I need to see that adorable smile again. And nice to hear that Ofer Shechter's is well-received. I found the poster to the movie on imdb. Here's the plot of the movie: After suffering an emotional breakdown in a public place, a young man vows never to leave his apartment. He quickly discovers that in today's world all his needs can be easily met: sex via the Internet, food by telephone delivery and entertainment by television. Four years later, his idyllic existence comes under attack when Daniela, a free spirited girl comes into his life while Grumps, the building's real estate agent, informs him that the apartment is about to be sold. Our hero refuses to leave his kingdom and decides to fight till the bitter end. Seems interesting...

Aussie54, it's my pleasure. I've been missing them too!. Although I'm enjoying translating The Ran Quadruplet bits as well, it's a different type of story and it makes me miss the boys even more. *hugs* Softfurbear, but of course! Anything I can do for my friends here. And yes, they most definitely are invested in the show. Apparently, they decided to push back the airing of the second season in order to re-run the entire first season, so that more people would have seen it and would tune in when the second season finally airs. I just can't wait for it to air already! Don't fall apart in the meantime. I promise to hold you as much as needed! *MWAH* Harmonium, *lol* I agree, it's long overdue! I'm starting to see the signs of withdrawal already, and I am not liking 'em! But I can promise you that if by the time I'm done translating all the gay bits from the first season of the Ran Quadruplet, the 2nd season doesn't start, I'll look for some clips from a comic sketch show that Offer Schechter did, and upload 'em for you. *hugs* Sonnenschein, I missed you! *hugs* You know it's my pleasure checking this for you and I wanted to say, I'm so sorry that I didn't get the chance to travel to Germany yet and meet up with you. But I was making plans for it in early April, then my maternal Grandmother died. Around June I started thinking maybe I could in August, then my paternal Grandfather died. So right now, even though I'm still dying to meet you and see your lovely country, I don't feel like making any plans. But I just did want to tell you I'm so sorry about not meeting you. *smooshes*

Some "Yossi & Jagger" and "Til the Wedding" news from Matan4il !!! : As for Yossi & Jagger, Ohad Knoller and Eytan Fox from the original movie are both attached to this project right now. Avner Bernheimer, who wrote the script, won't be back, though. I'm not familiar with the work of the guy who is writing the script, but I trust that if Ohad and Eytan are both back and on board, there's a good reason why. Then again, I also know it's always a bad idea to approach a movie with such high expectations. As for a title, right now they only have a tentative one - Yossi's Story. I figure it's likely that it won't be the title by the time the movie comes out, but I'll keep you updated. I'm also really happy to tell you that I've recently found out (after some digging I did for you guys) that a third season of 'Til the Wedding has been ordered! ;D I have no idea when it will air, but whenever that is, you can be sure that I will upload it. I'm guessing it will be a while, though, since I know that right now they can't be shooting it. How do I know this? Because Ohad Knoller is filming another show right now which is filming in Jerusalem, not too far from where I used to live. *g*

A bit more info regarding the sequel for "Yossi & Jagger" that matan4il mentioned: The title is now showing up as "Ha-Sippur Shel Yossi" (The Story of Yossi) and is in post-production according to imdb.com with a 2012 release date. I also found the following article about the filming of the new movie: Back to Yossi
A visit to the set of Eytan Fox's sequel to his 2002 hit 'Yossi and Jagger,' where the cast and crew are like family, and the film finds its star older, wiser and more open about his sexuality. By Nirit Anderman Published 01:24 21.04.11
"Ohad is walking too fast. Again. Concentrate, Ohad, tense your body," director Eytan Fox calls from his chair in front of the monitor. He waves his hand. "Action."
Actor Ohad Knoller, dressed like a doctor, with a stethoscope around his neck, has a worried look on his face - as called for in the scene. He begins walking alongside the nurses' station. Cinematographer Guy Raz holds the camera on his shoulder and walks in front of the actor, struggling to keep up. Cut. "You walked too fast again," Fox tells Knoller, "and you also lost some of the inner movement. Again. Relax your forehead a little, Ohad. Action!"
The new and luxurious heart center at Tel Aviv's Ichilov Hospital is still deserted. Workers complete the finishing touches, cleaning crews calmly polish the corridors; only on the third floor is the activity at its height, where the crew of the tentatively titled "Yossi's Story" films take after take, scene after scene. Knoller leaves one of the rooms and enters the hallway, along with actress Orly Zilbershatz.
"Thank you doctor," she says to him, putting on her coat while walking. "You're welcome," he replies. He still looks worried. "See you next year," she says, as she walks away.
Actor Lior Ashkenazi, also dressed as a doctor, looks at the two in surprise. "Is that her? What's the matter with you?" he asks Knoller in a whisper. "Listen, you owe me for that catheterization with Cohen - he's so phlegmatic it takes him two hours to find the artery," Ashkenazi says, but Knoller suddenly rushes after the woman.
Ten years after collaborating on "Yossi and Jagger," Knoller and Fox once again find themselves on opposite sides of the camera, creating a sequel to that successful film. Yossi, the tough company commander who had an intense affair with a male officer serving under him in a snowy outpost in South Lebanon, is now an admired and dedicated doctor. He devotes all his energy to his work, to avoid confronting his loneliness and the demons from his past.
He still hasn't gotten over the death of his lover (played by Yehuda Levi ) at the end of the previous film, and when Jagger's mother (Zilbershatz ) shows up at the hospital, his world is shaken.
Occupying questions
"Yossi and Jagger," screened in 2002, received the Ophir Prize for best drama and best actor (Levi ). The film was distributed in 15 countries, with Knoller named best actor at the Tribeca Film Festival. Last Thursday, Fox said he and producer Amir Harel came up with the idea to make a sequel a few months ago.
"We wanted to work together again... We felt like making another film, something small and immediate," says Fox. "Of course it means working with smaller budgets, without public funding, with a small crew. But I've already worked with all the actors in this film in the past, and they're like family."
In cinematic terms, this is really a lightning production. Fox started to formulate the idea only about six months ago, recruited Itay Segal (the TV critic for Yedioth Ahronoth ) to write the script, and cast Knoller and Zilbershatz (who worked with Fox in "Song of the Siren" ) in the main roles. Other major roles went to Ashkenazi (who starred in "Walking on Water" ) and Oz Zehavi, who plays Yossi's new lover.
Harel is producing the film along with Moshe Edri and United King Films, on a $500,000 budget and support from the Yes cable company and the Reshet TV franchise. But the desire to create a small, quick film was not Fox's only motive.
"I suddenly understood that the issues that came up in 'Yossi and Jagger' are very important to me, that I wanted to address them again," Fox says. "Although in the film Yossi is 35, not 45 like me, the questions that preoccupy him are my questions as well: on maturing, finding meaning in life, and how to create that meaning. It's important to share such issues, like how important it is to accept yourself - and I don't necessarily mean in terms of sexuality. In this film, Yossi is still examining how completely he accepts himself as a gay man... but more than that, he's dealing with trauma. He lost Jagger and is stuck in that place.
'Here come the tears'
In a short break in filming, Knoller, whose career has flourished thanks to "Yossi and Jagger," claims there is no real connection between the character he played in the first film and the one he plays in "Yossi's Story."
"On the one hand, the Yossi in this film is more out of the closet. But he's also far less sure of himself," he says. "In the first film, he conveyed far more confidence, he was a kind of leader because of his job as an IDF commander, and here he's one of a team of doctors - and not the senior one. In the first film he still didn't know whether he was really gay ... but in this film it's clear that he is, and that's how he lives his life. The big question is what kind of life it's going to be."
Zilbershatz, who didn't appear in the previous film, is happy and amused on set, but when discussing her character, she becomes melancholy.
"When you lose a child, and suddenly you discover that there are all kinds of things that you didn't know about him, that you didn't have time to get to know, that intensifies the sense of loss," she says. "The thought that your child was all alone when he experienced something as difficult as coming out of the closet - and 10 years ago, when the world was even less tolerant - is tough."
Segal, the screenwriter, who is sitting next to her, looks at her and says, "Here come the tears. She starts crying as soon as she talks about it."
Knoller admits that he's scared by the fact that this is a a sequel to a successful film. "The first film was excellent, and so to go and make another film now means telling a story you don't really have to tell. So on the surface, why get into that? It's scary."
Fox also says many people warned him against creating a sequel. "But when I traveled all over the world with the actors, when we screened it abroad, people always asked what would happen to Yossi. People said that he ends the film in a bad place."
"In this film, Yossi is supposed to emerge from where he got stuck. At the same time, I feel it's an independent film that stands on its own, and follows a character who now lives in a different Israel," Fox explains. "'Yossi and Jagger' addressed the withdrawal from Lebanon, confronting the trauma of the first Lebanon war, and now I'd like to examine the situation 10 years on. Has Israel changed? Is it a more liberal, progressive, advanced place? And if so, why is Yossi unable to change?
"There's a dissonance here between a society that has changed and the character of Yossi, who is stuck in 2000, when Israeli society was more macho, less accepting. In the sequel, Oz Zehavi represents the new Israeli gay man, who can be both gay and an IDF officer, and doesn't feel that these two things are conflicting. On the contrary: He's proud of who he is."
