Although some satellite channels began to announce the dramatic map of it during the upcoming month of Ramadan, the picture is still not clear in light of the confusion caused by the emergence and spread of the new "Corona" virus, and the precautionary measures that have been taken in various Arab countries, what This led to the suspension of filming most of the series for various periods, before some of them returned to work trying to survive at an intense pace to catch up with the show in Ramadan, while some drama makers were forced to announce the exit of their works from the Ramadan race this year. Among the most prominent of these works is the series “An Attack Against” written by Baher Dowidar and directed by Ahmed Alaa, co-starring Ahmed Ezz, Hind Sabri, Hisham Selim, Majida Zaki, Salah Abdullah and Mahmoud Al-Bazawi, and a large group of young actors, and deals with a true story from the reality of the Egyptian intelligence files, where it was announced The heroine of the series, Hind Sabri, in an interview with France 24: “We will not be able to be ready for the month of Ramadan, and there is a great loss for producers and workers, and we must unite in order to protect the most vulnerable in us.” She added, "We do not know when the industry and production will be restored, and there are some works that are being photographed. And I say that this is impossible. All these places must be closed and people must keep their homes." The series "Silk Thread" by Mai Ezzeddine has also become closer to getting out of the dramatic race for Ramadan this year, despite what was reported about the completion of filming nearly 60% of his scenes, especially with the rumors about the work team's difficulties in marketing it. Ezz El-Din had indicated earlier that the month of Ramadan was no longer a goal for her, and that her goal was to provide good work with focus and without tension because of the desire to catch up with the season. The "silk thread" starring Mahmoud Abdel-Maghani, Sawsan Badr, Mai Selim and Ahmed Khalil, and it was written by Mohamed Suleiman Abdel-Malek and directed by Ibrahim Fakhr.
Several obstacles
And the series "Cairo Kabul" joined the list of works that emerged from the Ramadan competition for 2020, due to the difficulty of completing its filming, despite filming nearly half of its viewers, due to the nature of the subject it deals with, which is terrorism, and the part that it requires in one of the European countries, which is what It became unavailable in light of the spread of the virus in Europe, and stopping the movement of navigation between countries.

"Cairo Kabul", directed by Hossam Ali and written by Abdul Rahman Kamal, and co-starring Hanan Mutawa, Tariq Lutfi, Fathi Abdel Wahab and Khaled Al-Sawy.
The series “Light Black” is likely to join the postponed list of works, in light of filming stops as a result of the precautionary measures taken by the Lebanese government, despite the hero’s expression of the artist’s hope that the series will be shown during the Ramadan season, but in the end, the preservation of people's health remains more important, rejecting The idea of displaying it after removing some scenes from it. What increases the chances of the series leaving the competition, the presence of some of its heroes in Egypt and the suspension of air traffic between Egypt and Beirut, and therefore it is difficult to complete the filming of their scenes.
Gulf drama

The flight also stopped, which caused the filming of the second part of the series "Breakthrough", because photography was taking place between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and the series brings together a large group of artists.
And the series "Beating the Sand" faces the same fate, which is the first experience in the world of acting by the artist Khaled Abdel-Rahman, as well as the series "Youth of Bomb 9", "Al-Salifa as-Sada" and "Bakhoor Al-Qaseed".
Unclear fate
The fate of a number of Syrian series is still unclear, as its makers have not announced a definitive exit from the upcoming drama race for the upcoming Ramadan, including the series "The Prestige", "The Spot of Light 15", "The Magician" and "Bab Al-Hara 11", and "The sculptor," "Chicago Street," and "Girls' Collar." Waiting for the coming hours or days to come up with clear and final decisions.
