Egyptian actor Asser Yassin will once again team up with Tunisian actress Hend Sabry in the upcoming TV adaptation of writer and journalist Ibrahim Eissa's latest novel “Dam ala Nahd."
It marks the first collaboration between the two stars on the small screen and their second in 18 years after the 2007 film "'El Gezira."
Mariam Ahmadi is directing the series from a script being adapted by Mohamed Hesham Obeya.
"Dam ala Nahd" consists of 15 episodes and is produced by Sadek Al-Sabah.
The novel follows Mai El Gebali, who had no idea that her exclusive interview with the "butcher" before his execution would turn her life upside down.
With each meeting with the "butcher", he reveals secrets he never confessed before during the investigations.
Along the way, El Gebali begins to question everything she'd previously believed in, disrupts her relationships, and puts her life in danger.
Yassin was recently seen in the TV series "Alby We Moftaho" and Sabry in the hit Netflix TV series "Finding Ola" Season 2.
Yassin, born February 25, 1981, began his career on the stage at the American University in Cairo.
He was spotted by Director Khairy Beshara to play his first role in the 2006 TV series "Qalb Habiba", followed by the blockbuster "The Yacoubian Building" in 2007, and landed his first major role in a film "Zay El Naharda" in the following year.
In the same year, he got his big break playing a leading role in the film "El Waad" (The Promise), starring opposite legendary actor and superstar Mahmoud Yassin.
In 2010, Yassin played the leading role in Daoud Abdel Sayed's film "Messages from the Sea", which earned him the Best Actor award at the Carthage Film Festival and Malmö Arab Film Festival.
