Mai Omar embodies a character completely different from her usual image

Writer Mohamed Sayed Bashir is set to deliver a short, fast-paced script designed to captivate the audience

In a bold new artistic move that has stirred much anticipation, Egyptian actress Mai Omar is preparing to embark on a completely different dramatic journey from anything she has done before. She has begun preparations for a new 15-episode series, marking her first collaboration with writer Mohamed Sayed Bashir and director Mohamed Aly, scheduled to air during the Ramadan 2026 drama season.

In this upcoming project, Mai Omar is expected to appear in a radically different light, portraying a character with deep emotional layers that resonate particularly with women. The story unfolds within a social and human framework, tackling themes rarely explored on screen — a vision that prioritizes emotional depth and meaningful storytelling over surface glamour.

Writer Mohamed Sayed Bashir is progressing rapidly with the script, having completed a significant portion of the early episodes in record time. His goal is to craft a concise yet compelling narrative, capturing the audience’s attention from the first scene. With this project, he continues to establish himself as one of the most prominent modern screenwriters, known for blending realism with sharp, engaging plots.

“Al-Amira – Del El-Heita”

Bashir previously found major success in Ramadan 2025 with the series “Al-Amira – Del El-Heita” (The Princess – Behind the Wall), starring Yasmine Sabry, which received wide acclaim as one of the standout short-format dramas of the season. The show also featured Nicolas Mouawad, Wafaa Amer, and Hala Fakher, directed by Sherine Adel.

Meanwhile, Mai Omar wrapped up her last Ramadan season with the hit series “Ash Ash”, which topped search trends and became a social media sensation. The show starred Majed Al-Masri, Hala Sedky, and Mohamed El-Sharnouby, written and directed by Mohamed Sami. Now, with her new project, Mai Omar opens a fresh chapter in her artistic career, betting on maturity, renewal, and emotional authenticity with every role she takes on.
