In Ramadan 2021, the Egyptian series face several challenges, and perhaps the most prominent of which is the constant complaint of the stars about the lack of work and unemployment, as a large number of stars complained - directly or indirectly, on television and on the pages of communication sites - about the lack of work.

It seems that this matter, with the production crisis that appeared several years ago and caused a reduction in the number of Ramadan series, prompted producers to devise alternative solutions, which was clearly evident in the most prominent production company in Egypt, which is Synergy, which largely controls the drama industry. Series with a joint championship between two or more stars, and this creates an opportunity for more stars to participate in the Ramadan race, as well as short series.

The issue is not limited to Synergy's company alone, as a number of other companies have also resorted to short series or the joint championship, or merging both together, as in the series "Between the Sky and the Earth", which brings together a large number of stars in its tournament, but it depends in its marketing on two heroes: Hani Salama returned after a long absence from television drama, and Dora, who has become a place in the drama series, and was expected to have independent starring such as Hend Sabry and Nelly Karim.

Series outside of Synergy

The Egyptian drama season in Ramadan this year includes approximately 27 series, perhaps a series will be released because it is not able to complete filming, as happened with several series last Ramadan, and it may join a series of series that have been filmed and are kept in the drawers of production companies.

But we are talking about 27 series, which is not a big number, but it is a breakthrough in the field of artistic production.

And with more than one star in one work, it achieves its desired purpose.

Among these works are 9 series that came out of Synergy's cloak, including two series produced by Al-Adl Group: the first is "Civil War" by the Egyptian star Yusra, who continues her continuous cooperation with the same company, and the other is the series "Anti-Fracture" by Nelly Karim for the second year in a row with the company. .

There are also two series produced by Sadiq Al-Sabah, which were filmed outside Egypt, namely: “Kings of Al-Jadana” by Amr Saad and Mustafa Shaaban, and “Lahm Ghazal” by Ghada Abdel Razek, who returns after a long absence.

Joint championship series

Perhaps the most prominent feature of this year is the series of the joint championship, as we find that Synergy has assigned the most prominent and largest production series to two heroes, Karim Abdel Aziz and Ahmed Makki, who are sharing the "Choice 2" championship together.

After the success of Amir Karara and Ahmed Al-Awadi last year, the company is investing in two other stars this year, but both stars are very popular, and this is the company's bet in the most prominent series for it.

In the same context, we find the return, Ahmed El-Sakka and Amir Karara together in the series "Naseel Al-Ghurab", and Mai Omar, who is recently pushed to be the most prominent stars.

We find Fathi Abdel Wahab and Tareq Lotfi, with Khaled El Sawy and Hanan Mutawa, participating in the "Cairo Kabul" championship.

And Ahmed Ezz is also involved with Hind Sabry, and they return after an absence in the series "Counter Attack". We note that the most prominent feature that unites them is the focus on the highly targeted series.

The same applies to other companies, as we find Sadiq Al-Sabah resorting to the two-way starring in the series "Kings of Al-Jadana", and the "eBradioser" company combines Amina Khalil and Muhammad Mamdouh in "Leave your mind from Zizi."

Short series

The other trick this year is the presence of a large number of short series, such as “Between Al-Sama and Al-Ard”, which is a reproduction of the old movie of the same name, directed by Salah Abu Saif and wrote the script and dialogue for Naguib Mahfouz, and this series that combines the two features is a short series with the same name. Joint.

Producer, singer and director Hisham Jamal, with the production support of Synergy, presents the series "Parallel World" by the star Donia Samir Ghanem, which is a short series of 15 episodes as well, written, produced and directed.

Actor Youssef Al-Sharif is also presenting a short series entitled "Covid 25", which will be shown in the second half of the Ramadan race, and as is clear from the title, he exploited the Covid-19 pandemic that invaded the world during the past year, and we are still suffering from it and its effects until now.

Ali Rabei also joins his series "Best Father" for the short series list.
