As the month of Ramadan 2026 approaches, the Egyptian screen is set for a marathon of 40 new series. The season promises viewers great diversity, from popular action and police dramas to social comedy, marked by the strong return of many stars after long absences.
One of the key themes will be realism. The series 'Under Siege', starring Menna Shalbi and Iyad Nasr, will tell a love story set against the backdrop of the war in Gaza, unfolding within an Egyptian medical convoy. Hind Sabri, after a four-year hiatus, returns in 'Immunity' to explore the dark world of drugs in the popular Batinya district.
Viewers will also see sequels to popular series. Ahmed Amin, in the second part of 'The Text', will continue the story of a repentant thief who becomes a folk hero resisting the English occupation in the 1930s. Amir Karara will reclaim his shine in the spy drama 'Head of the Snake', based on true events.
Action and popular dramas will also play a significant role. Ahmed Al-Awadi in 'Ali Clay' will portray the journey of a young man from the streets and its bets to the world of car trading and facing complex conflicts with his rivals. Youssef Sherif, after a four-year absence, will return to the screens with 'The Art of War', while Mohamed Imam will appear in a new look in 'The King'.
Social issues will also be at the forefront. Yasmin Abdel Aziz, with Karim Fahmy in 'And We Forget What Was', will shed light on the hidden crises in the lives of celebrities, while Gada Abdel Razzaq in 'High' will play a mother who enters the world of human organ trafficking to save her kidnapped son, sharing the lead with Sabri Fuaz and Ahmed Sefout. Mia Omar in 'The Lady Mona Lisa' will face charges of killing her friend and strive to prove her innocence amidst conflicts with Engy El-Mokadem and Sawsan Badr. Meanwhile, Reham Hijaz in 'Sequel' will explore the dangers of fame through social media.
The season will also delight viewers with comedies. Yasser Galal will star in 'Everyone Loves Moody', Ahmed Dawood will discuss the paradoxes of separation in 'Papa and Mama Neighbors', and Majed Al-Kdawani, with Yousra El-Louzy, will showcase post-divorce crises in 'First Year Divorce'.
Thus, the Ramadan season of 2026 is poised to be rich and diverse, offering viewers a wide range of captivating stories set to attract attention during the holy month.
