Ramadan 2026 TV Guide: Ramadan Series We are Watching this Season

BYMeriem Belhiba

February 5, 2026

Every year, we claim this will be the hardest Ramadan yet for curating our watch list. But when it comes to the Ramadan series 2026 lineup, that statement feels less like exaggeration and more like a fact. With major star comebacks, unexpected pairings, literary adaptations, and bold new storytelling directions, this season is already shaping up to dominate our evenings, hijack our group chats, and completely wreck our sleep schedules.

If you’re anything like us and feel lost between all the Egyptian, Khaleeji, and Lebanese productions, here’s a definitive list to help you navigate the season.

W Nensa El Kan — Starring Yasmine Abdel Aziz and Karim Fahmy

Can we not watch a Yasmine Abdel Aziz series? Exactly. Moving on.

El Set Mona Lisa — Starring Mai Omar, Sawsan Badr, and Engy El Mokkadam

Mai Omar has officially become a Ramadan staple, and we respect the consistency. After playing a lawyer and a dancer, she’s now stepping into the kitchen as a chef. Honestly, we’re less curious about the menu and more curious about the performance.

A’ard W Talab — Starring Salma Abu Deif, Mostafa Abu Serea, and Samah Anwar

Salma Abu Deif seems determined to outdo herself every season. This time, she plays a teacher navigating life in a working-class neighbourhood — which usually means drama, social commentary, and at least three emotional breakdown scenes. We’re ready.

El Nos 2 — Starring Ahmed Amin, Asmaa Abu El Yazeed, and Basma

The first season gave us a beautifully crafted fantasy atmosphere. Ramadan 2026? We’re expecting magic, nostalgia, and hopefully the same charm that made us emotionally attached in the first place.

Mana’a — Starring Hend Sabry

After a five-year absence from Ramadan drama, Hend Sabry is back — and she’s taking us to 1980s Batniya. Period drama, Hend Sabry, and historical Cairo aesthetics? We are seated.

Bel Haram – Starring Maguy Bou Ghosn, Bassem Moughnieh, Carole Abboud, Takla Chamoun, Tony Issa, and Sara Abi Kanaan

Maguy Bou Ghosn is one of the smartest choices in Ramadan drama. From intriguing plotlines to subtly feminist, socially engaged storytelling, her projects always feel intentional. So yes, expectations here are not optional… they are mandatory.

Kolohom Beyhebo Modi — Starring Yasser Galal, Mirvat Amin, and Ayten Amer

We don’t fully know what’s cooking here, but we’re extremely curious to find out. Sometimes that’s enough.

Etneen Gherna — Starring Asser Yassin, Dina El Sherbiny, and Nour Ehab

Asser Yassin and Dina El Sherbiny sharing screen space? Sold. No questions asked.

Bebo — Starring Kozbara, Hala Sedky, and Sayed Ragab

We fully support multi-talented artists crossing into acting — especially during Ramadan, the most competitive drama season of the year. Kozbara clearly accepted a challenge, and now we need to see why.

Ein Sehreya — Starring Essam Omar, Bassem Samra, and Amr Abdelgelil

Let’s be honest: whenever Essam Omar appears in a cast list, we automatically get interested. No further explanation needed.

Hekayet Narges — Starring Riham Abdel Ghaffour

It’s right there in the title. A story centred on a woman? We’re watching. Immediately.

Sawa Sawa — Starring Ahmed Malek and Huda El Mufti

It’s been two years since Mat’am El Habayeb, and honestly, we’re still recovering from their on-screen chemistry. This reunion already feels like emotional damage waiting to happen.

Ab W Laken — Starring Mohamed Farag and Rakeen Saad

If you didn’t notice before, allow us to announce it: Mohamed Farag has a thing for fatherhood roles. And yes, we are absolutely judging this series by its title.

A’ala Ad El Hob — Starring Nelly Karim and Sherif Salama

Can we talk about the official posters? Because they look like they belong to an Elissa album cover. We are confused… but intrigued.

Kan Ya Makan — Starring Maged El Kedwany

Honestly, we would watch Maged El Kedwany read a grocery list. So yes, we’re watching this too. For the love of Maged El Kedwany.

B Khams Arwah – Starring Karis Bashar, Qusai Khouli, Adel Karam, Fayez Qazaq, Taysir Idris, Rafic Ali Ahmad, Abdo Shaheen, Ali Karim, and Yasmina Zaytoun

Karis Bashar and Qusai Khouli returning as a duo after Ala Qayd Al Hayah in 2009? That alone deserves a moment of silence. Syrian drama fans have been waiting for this reunion for years, and now it’s finally happening.

Taht El Hesar — Starring Menna Shalaby and Eyad Nassar

One of the first Ramadan series expected to tackle Gaza. Emotional preparedness level: low. Tissue boxes: ready.

Aly Kalay — Starring Ahmed El Awady

Is it even Ramadan drama season without a batal shaabi storyline? Tradition must be respected.

Efrag — Starring Amr Saad and Tara Emad

Amr Saad and Tara Emad together? Not exactly something we predicted, but we’re curious enough to tune in.

Ya Ana Ya Hia – Season 2 – Starring Amal Arafa, Asem Hawat, Amal Dabbas, and Nadine Tahseen Bek

If you are looking for a dose of drama mixed with humour and chaotic character dynamics, this is probably it. Season two already feels like it’s doubling down on personality clashes and unpredictable situations. We love to see it.

Had Aksa — Starring Rogena

Imagine going to the bank and discovering you suddenly have 200 million Egyptian pounds. This series is either fantasy, thriller, or a financial nightmare waiting to happen. Either way, we’re interested.

Tawabea — Starring Reham Hagag

We admit it. We are slightly biased toward series led by women. No regrets.

Lobby Al Gharam – Starring Yara Sabri, Moatasem Al Nahar, Pamela Al Kik, Jessie Abdo, Fayez Qazaq, and Sousan Abu Afar

Moatasem Al Nahar in a Lebanese-Syrian series? We are intrigued already. Cross-country productions usually mean layered storylines, complicated relationships, and enough romantic tension to carry us through Ramadan nights. Also, this cast lineup feels dangerously charismatic.

Baba W Mama Geran — Starring Ahmed Dawood, Merna Gamel, and Sherine

Ahmed Dawood has that effortless comedic timing that makes you laugh before you even realise it. That alone is enough to put this on our watch list.

Al Masyada — Starring Hanan Metawea and Khaled Selim

We’re already preparing emotionally. And by emotionally, we mean stocking up on tissues.

Matbakh Al Madina – Starring Maxim Khalil, Abbas Al Nouri, Amal Arafa, and Abdel Moneim Amayri.

A cast this large usually means one thing: chaos, layered storylines, and at least five characters we will argue about weekly. Also, Syrian ensemble dramas have a history of turning everyday spaces into emotional battlefields — and this time, it looks like the city kitchen is where everything will unfold.

Heya Kemeya — Starring Moustafa Gharieb and Diab

Moustafa Gharieb is stepping into his second lead role and his first Ramadan appearance — and we’re still not healed from the fact that Ashghal Shaqa didn’t get a third season.

Shari’ Al Asha – Season 2 – Starring Elham Ali, Khaled Saqr, Aisha Kay, Lama Abdulwahab, Nasser Al Dosari, Alaa Salem, and Mohannad Hamdi

Not any dose of history and drama… a Saudi one. And honestly? That makes it even more interesting. Season one proved Saudi period drama can deliver atmosphere and storytelling, so yes, expectations are high.

Al Ghomayda – Starring Huda Hussein, Mahmoud Boushahri, Fatma Al Safi, Layla Abdullah, Lolwa Al Mulla, and Ibrahim Al Harbi

The cast? Stacked. The stars? Legendary. The curiosity level? Extremely high. Sometimes you don’t even need a synopsis. The names alone are enough to make us tune in.

Mouj Aal – Starring Cyrine Abdel Nour and Mohammad Al Ahmad

It’s been years since Cyrine Abdel Nour truly dominated our Ramadan screens, and we were heartbroken when Kedhba Soda dropped out of the marathon. But Mouj Aal feels like a strong comeback moment.

Jinayat Hob – Starring Hussein Al Mahdi, Bashar Al Shatti, Haya Abdel Salam, Fayez Bin Jreis, alongside Yaqoub Abdullah, Haifa Adel, Rawan Mahdi, Ahmed Al Najjar, and others

As impressive as the cast lineup is, we’re especially curious to see how Kuwaiti author Bothayna Al-Essa’s The Blind Sinbad: Atlas of the Sea and War translates to the screen.

Mawlana – Starring Taim Hassan, Nour Ali, Mona Wassef, Fares Al Helou, Nancy Khoury, Hima Ismail, Alaa Al Zoubi, and Eliana Saad

Taim Hassan in Ramadan drama? We’re watching. No discussion. Add Nour Ali in their first collaboration, plus icons like Mona Wassef, and suddenly this becomes one of the Syrian series everyone will pretend they’re “watching casually” while secretly following every episode.

Wohoush – Season 2 – Starring Elham Ali, Kuwaiti stars Fouz Al Shatti and Hussein Al Mahdi

A crime-focused narrative led by Khaleeji actresses taking on daring roles signals a shift in Ramadan storytelling. We’re curious to see where it goes.

Sa’adet Al Majnoon – Starring Sulafa Mimar, Abed Fahd, and Bassem Yakhour

Sulafa Mimar returning to contemporary social drama already feels like an event. Add Abed Fahd and Bassem Yakhour to the mix and suddenly this becomes one of those series where the acting alone will carry half the tension. Yes, we are emotionally preparing already.

Arsh Al Shaytan – Starring Alexander Uloom, Saif Al Shareef, Sinan Al Azzawi, Nadine Al Fahd, Ali Jaber, and Nahi Mahdi

Iraqi drama has been quietly building a reputation for intense storytelling, and this looks like one of those series where alliances shift, tensions rise, and nobody feels safe. Which, obviously, means we’re tuning in.

Hamdiyya – Starring Omaima Jawad Al Shukriji, Jawad Al Shukriji, Ruwaida Shaheen, and Yarem Al Jazairi

Social drama, literary adaptation, and emotional devastation? Classic Ramadan recipe. Hamdiyya is based on the novel by Iraqi writer Qadoori Al Douri and follows a woman forced to rebuild her life after losing her mother, which already sounds like the kind of story that will emotionally destroy us episode by episode.
