The outlines of the competition for the upcoming Ramadan drama season have begun to appear early, after several first-tier stars finalized their contracts for new works, indicating a season expected to witness a strong presence and the return of several absent names.

At the forefront of the returnees is artist Mohamed Ramadan, who is returning to drama after a 4-year absence, through a new series that brings him together for the first time with writer Ahmed Mourad, directed by Peter Mimi, and produced by Sadiq Al-Sabah.

Ahmed Fahmy is also returning to the Ramadan race with a new comedy series, in collaboration with producer Tamer Morsi, directed by Moataz Al-Tuni, and written by Sherif El-Lithi, while Amr Saad has reversed his previous decision to stay away from drama and has contracted for a new series that renews his collaboration with Tamer Morsi.

Ahmed Al-Awadi continues his presence in the new season through a popular series that renews his partnership with writer Mahmoud Hamdan, while Mai Omar has contracted for the lead role in a new drama after her participation in last season's series "Al-Sitt Mona Lisa."

The preparations also include a series about the late thinker Mustafa Mahmoud, tentatively titled "Between Doubt and Certainty," while Hamada Helal is considering presenting a seventh part of the series "Al-Madah," with continued anticipation for announcements of new contracts in the upcoming period.
