Ramadan Drama 'Lam Shamseya' to Be Screened at SeriesFest in the US
The Ramadan drama heads to Colorado’s SeriesFest with its first episode, followed by a talk with the creators on May 4th.
One of Ramadan 2025’s most talked-about dramas, ‘Lam Shamseya’, is heading to the US this May. The series will screen its debut episode at SeriesFest, a Colorado-based festival dedicated to international television, on May 4th. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the show’s screenwriter Maryam Naoum and director Karim El-Shenawy.
Produced by Media Hub and praised for its emotional depth and social resonance, ‘Lam Shamseya’ stars Amina Khalil, Ahmed El-Saadany and Tharaa Goubail in a story that explores the complexities of child abuse, motherhood and societal pressure. The series struck a chord with audiences across Egypt, emerging as a standout of this year’s Ramadan lineup.
The drama was developed in partnership with Egypt’s National Council for Women and the National Council for Childhood and Motherhood. Earlier this month, it was officially recognised by the Ministry of Social Solidarity for its contribution to national conversations on parenting and social values.
SeriesFest, now in its tenth edition, is known for championing episodic storytelling from around the world. The inclusion of ‘Lam Shamseya’ marks a growing international interest in Arabic-language dramas, and offers a new platform for regional stories to reach global audiences.
