As Ramadan dramas move into their second phase, new series are beginning to define the tone of the season. Among them is El Metr Samir, a social comedy that turns its attention to the everyday conflicts that unfold inside family courts.
Set against the backdrop of divorce disputes, custody battles, and alimony cases, the series uses humor to explore the complicated emotional terrain behind legal confrontations. At the center of the story is a lawyer who has built his career solving other people’s marital crises—only to discover that navigating his own relationships is far more difficult.
What Is El Metr Samir About?
The series follows Samir Zaghloul, a lawyer known in his neighborhood for handling family court cases. With quick thinking and a sharp legal instinct, Samir has built a reputation for helping couples resolve their disputes—or defending clients in the most complicated marital battles. Professionally, he thrives in this environment. Personally, however, his life tells a very different story.
While he spends his days mediating conflicts between husbands and wives, his own marriage begins to collapse. After losing an alimony case against his ex-wife, Samir suddenly finds himself confronting the very situations he once approached from a safe professional distance.
Through the cases that pass through the courtroom, the series introduces a range of stories inspired by everyday reality. Divorce, custody disputes, and family tensions unfold alongside moments of satire and humor that reflect the complexities of modern relationships.
Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz as Samir Zaghloul
Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz plays Samir Zaghloul, a confident family lawyer whose professional success is built on navigating the fragile dynamics of marriage and separation.
Yet as the story unfolds, Samir’s professional expertise begins to clash with his personal reality. Finding himself entangled in the kind of marital conflicts he once solved for others, the character is forced to reconsider his understanding of relationships, responsibility, and emotional compromise.
The role allows Abdel Aziz to lean into his comedic strengths while exploring the contradictions that define the character.
Nahed El Sebai as Mirvat
Nahed El Sebai portrays Mirvat, Samir’s wife. Their relationship becomes increasingly strained as his constant involvement in other people’s marital disputes begins to affect their own life together.
What begins as frustration gradually evolves into a deeper emotional conflict that shapes much of the series’ personal drama.
Mohamed Abdel Rahman as Anwar Adlan
Mohamed Abdel Rahman appears as Anwar Adlan, Samir’s uncle who arrives from the countryside and suddenly finds himself immersed in a completely unfamiliar urban environment.
His straightforward personality and outsider perspective bring much of the show’s comedic relief, particularly as he becomes entangled in the complicated world of legal disputes and family drama.
Who Else Stars in the Series?
Alongside Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, the series features a cast that blends comedy and social drama, including:
- Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz
- Nahed El Sebai
- Mohamed Abdel Rahman
- Mohamed Otaka
- Sara Abdel Rahman
- Salwa Khattab
The series is written by Mamdouh Metwally, with additional dramatic development from a team of writers, and directed by Khaled Marei.
How Many Episodes Does El Metr Samir Have?
The series consists of 15 episodes, with each episode centered around a different case from family court. This structure allows the story to move quickly while introducing new situations and characters in each episode.
Where and When to Watch El Metr Samir
El Metr Samir airs as part of the second half of Ramadan 2026 dramas on MBC Masr.
Episodes broadcast daily at 11:00 PM Cairo time, and the series is also available for streaming on Shahid.
Why El Metr Samir Stands Out This Ramadan
What gives El Metr Samir its appeal is the way it turns everyday conflicts into storytelling material. By focusing on the world of family court, the series highlights how legal battles often reveal deeper emotional truths about relationships.
At the center of it all is a simple but effective contradiction: a lawyer who can untangle the most complicated disputes in court but struggles to keep his own life in order.
That tension—between professional expertise and personal chaos—drives both the humor and the human drama of the series.
