It’s Ramadan season — which means endless series to keep us entertained. The billboards are up, the trailers are out, and the heated social media debates have begun. Thirty-nine series are set to dominate our screens this Ramadan season, including returnees like El Atawla 2 and El Madah 5, with 25 set to be a snappy 15 episodes and 14 set to entertain all month. Here are the shows we think are going to make a splash from day one:

#1- RAMEZ ELON MASR: The yearly wildcard Ramadan prank show we love to hate is back. By the sound of the name, we think this season’s prank has something to do with SpaceX’s failure — because no Ramadan is complete without a celebrity getting pranked to within an inch of their sanity.

WHERE IT’S SHOWING- As always, if you can’t catch it at Iftar, you’ll find it on Shahid.

#2- KAMEL EL ADAD++: You know what they say, third times the charm. This hit comedy series is back for a third season after capturing watchers’ attention for two Ramadans in a row. This year should be no different, as Laila and Ahmed's family up the ante with new adventures as they move to a new home and Sherief pursues football abroad. The return of Laila’s ex-husband and Ahmed’s sister also contribute to an unexpected whirl of events. Forgotten what went down last year? Here’s our review of last season.

WHERE IT’S SHOWING- This show is a Shahid exclusive, but you can get a sneak peek with the trailer on YouTube (runtime: 1:22).

#3- WELAD AL SHAMS: From orphanage to outlaws, Welad Al Shams brings us a gritty new crime drama for Ramadan. Welaa (Ahmed Malek) and Moftah (Taha Desouky) grew up together in Dar Al Sham's orphanage, and carry an unbreakable bond and a shared mission to protect their fellow orphans. But when they cross Maged (Mahmoud Hemeida), the orphanage’s ruthless owner, their world turns upside down. Expect intense performances with emotional depth and adrenaline-fueled twists, along with potential trending tunes from shaabi singer Essam Sasa and the anticipated acting debut of rapper Flex.

#4- LAM SHAMSEYA: When Nelly (Amina Khalil) suspects Wessam (Mohamed Shahin), her husband Tariq’s (Ahmed El Saadany) close friend, of harassing her stepson, she refuses to stay silent — but taking a stand comes with consequences, setting off a devastating chain of events. Alongside our protagonist is a star-studded roster including Yosra El Lozy, Aseel Omran, Safaa El Toukhi, Tharaa Goubail, and Yasmina El Abd. Directed by Karim El Shenawy (Take Care of Zizi and Seventh Year Itch), this social drama could raise awareness of the ongoing taboo around child harassment.

#5- ASHGHAL SHAQA GEDAN: Returning for a second season and even more house maintenance chaos, Hamdy (Hesham Maged) and Yasmine (Asmaa Galal) are now juggling life as parents to four kids — and things are only getting messier. With Hamdy struggling to keep up at work and Yasmine making the bold decision to return to her career, the couple faces a whole new level of challenges, laughter, and unexpected twists — and they still can't seem to find a housekeeper. We’re sure the show will continue to deliver its signature mix of comedy and relatable family drama, proving that balancing work, kids, and marriage is no easy task. Read up on our review for last season.

WHERE IT’S SHOWING- It’s streaming on Shahid, but you can watch the trailer on YouTube (runtime: 2:14).

#6- MUAWIYA: This two-years-delayed controversial series will be diving into one of the most pivotal and debated chapters of Islamic history, with the series chronicling the rise of Caliph Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan (Lojain Ismail) from his early days to his role in shaping the Umayyad Caliphate. Directed by Tarek El Eryan, the cast features Asmaa Galal, Saba Mubarak, Eyad Nassar, Ahmed Bedier, Aicha Ben Ahmed — which makes it all the more exciting to watch.

#7- ِEKHWATI: Our favorite Nelly Karim is back, and this time, she’s bringing a powerhouse, all-female cast with her. In Ekhwati, she plays Soha, a woman who's trapped in a toxic marriage — until one night, she dreams of her husband’s death… only to wake up and find his body at her doorstep. With suspicion rising and danger lurking, she turns to the only people she can trust: her three sisters. Joining Karim in this gripping drama are Gihan El Shamashergy, Ruby, Kinda Alloush, Hatem Salah, and Ali Sobhy.

#8- NOS EL SHA’B ESMO MOHAMMAD: We know that Essam Omar is here to deliver a performance that's sure to make us giggle. Mohamed (Essam Omar), who works at the airport as a mechanical engineer stuck in a mind-numbing routine, is desperate to shake up his life. In his quest for excitement, he finds himself in love with two completely different women — Sara (Mayan El Sayed) and Mai (Hagar El Sarrag) — and planning to marry both at the same time. But as fate would have it, his bold choices turn into pure chaos.

#9- MONTAHY EL SALAHEYA: After losing his job, marriage, and only daughter, Saleh is desperate to rebuild his life after prison. But when he turns to online gambling for a fresh start, he finds himself caught in a web of consequences he never saw coming. Starring Mohamed Farrag, Yasmin Raeis, Heba Magdi, Hassan Malek, Donia Maher, and Mahmoud Ellisy, the show explores the dark reality of addiction and redemption in a world where second chances come at a price.

WHERE IT’S SHOWING- You’ll find the series on Shahid or you can opt to watch the trailer on YouTube (runtime: 1:59).

#10- AHWET EL MAHATTA: Get your sleuth on and follow Taha Barada (Ahmad Khaled Saleh), a young prosecutor, as he gets thrown into the deep end when a mysterious murder at a train station lands on his desk. The victim? A hopeful actor (Ahmed Ghozzi) from Upper Egypt chasing a dream that ends in tragedy. As facts clash with instinct, Taha finds himself tangled in a case that tests the very foundations of justice. With Bayoumi Fouad, Hala Sedki, and Intesar rounding out the cast, the show explores the fine line between truth and perception — because sometimes, the evidence doesn’t tell the whole story.

WHERE IT’S SHOWING- The series is exclusive to Yango Play but you can watch the series on YouTube (runtime: 0:31).

#11- ALBI W MOFTAHO: Romance is back, and so are Asser Yassin and Mai Ezz El Din in a love story directed by Tamer Mohsen that’s anything but predictable. Albi w Moftaho follows Ezzat (Asser Yassin), a reserved Uber driver whose life takes an unexpected turn when he picks up Mayar (Mai Ezz El Din), an independent woman with three divorces behind her and no intention of walking down the aisle again. As fate keeps pulling them together, emotions get tangled, and choices must be made. With Ashraf Abdel Baky, Diab, Mahmoud Azab, and Ahmad Khaled Saleh joining the cast, it’s surely going to be a throwback to old Egyptian romance movies.

WHERE IT’S SHOWING- You can either watch it on WatchIT or Yango Play. Until then you can watch the trailer on YouTube (runtime: 2:09).

#12- AL ATAWLA 2: After winning over audiences last Ramadan, the hit series is back for a second season — and things are getting even more intense. The ongoing feud between Nassar (Ahmed El Sakka) and Khedr (Tarek Lotfy) takes a dramatic turn when Nassar faces a life altering crisis, with his daughter becoming ill and requiring treatment that will set them back mns. Desperate to fund his daughter’s treatment, he teams up with Khedr once again and finds himself working for Issa Al Wazzan (Bassem Samra), who is very much alive and out for revenge, so yalla beena. But that’s not all — a new and unexpected enemy will enter the picture making things even more complicated than before. This season also welcomes some fresh new faces, including the one and only Fifi Abdou.

WHERE IT’S SHOWING- You can watch the show on Shahid or watch the trailer on YouTube (runtime: 2:45).
