SadaNews - The outlines of the list of Ramadan series for 2026 are beginning to emerge and have become clearer, with more than 15 stars having signed contracts to star in dramatic works participating in the new race, which is expected to be competitive and witness a struggle among the champions for the title of the most-watched.

It begins with the artist Ahmed El Awadi, who has signed a contract to star in a series titled "Ali Clay," where he will present himself in a new light, abandoning the popular style to portray a character of a young man working in a prestigious job. He is collaborating with the screenwriter Mahmoud Hamdan and director Mohamed Abdel Salam, who previously worked with him on his last series "Fahd Al-Batal."

Yasmin Abdulaziz and 30 Episodes

The artist Yasmin Abdulaziz has signed for a new series consisting of 30 episodes, competing in the Ramadan dramatic race. She is collaborating with the screenwriter Amr Mahmoud Yassin, who wrote her last series "Wataqabal Habib" that achieved great success, but the title of the new series has not been determined yet.

Meanwhile, the artist Yasser Galal has also joined the ranks of heroes for the upcoming Ramadan drama, through a dramatic work written by Ayman Salama and directed by Ahmed Shafiq, marking their first collaboration. The series will include many surprises due to the different character that Yasser Galal will portray.

Mustafa Shaaban… and Real Events
