WATCH IT, the number one video-on-demand platform for Arabic original content, is making waves this Ramadan with Al Sharnaka, an engrossing psychological thriller starring Egyptian actor Ahmed Dawood in his first lead TV role. Packed with suspense, corporate drama, and moral dilemmas, the new show promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.
The Story of Al Sharnaka
At the center of Al Sharnaka is Hazem Ibrahim, a brilliant accountant working at a prestigious firm. His life takes an unexpected turn when he stumbles upon damning evidence of illegal operations within the company. Suddenly, he finds himself caught between doing the right thing and protecting his own future.
As the tension mounts, Hazem is forced into a dangerous game of deception, facing mounting pressure, threats, and betrayals. With every step, the stakes get higher—can he expose the truth before it’s too late, or will he be consumed by the very secrets he’s trying to unravel?
Ahmed Dawood’s Role in Al Sharnaka
Ahmed Dawood takes on the role of the protagonist Hazem Ibrahim, a skilled accountant who unwittingly becomes entangled in a massive corporate corruption scandal. As events spiral out of control, he is forced to make life-altering decisions while navigating the constant threats to his career—and his life.
Sara Abi Kanaan’s Role in Al Sharnaka
Making her Egyptian drama debut, Sara Abi Kanaan plays a young accountant at the same firm as Hazem. However, she hides a dark secret that could shift the course of events. Her character becomes deeply intertwined with Hazem’s, forcing her into unexpected decisions that add to the tension of the story.
