Egyptian actress Aya Samaha has recently joined the cast of actor Ahmed Ezz's upcoming TV series "Al Amir" ("The Prince"). Mohamed Shahin also star.

Directed by Jamaican-British director and producer Stephen Hopkins, the drama is a six-episode action series positioned as an action-driven political thriller with additional focus on personal and family dimensions.

"Al Amir" will be shot in Cairo with the production structured around a global-scale execution and in Saudi Arabia at the Al Hisn Big Time studios in Riyadh.

The project is being developed with an international team, with Ezz currently undergoing script rehearsals and intensive action training ahead of shooting.

It is co-produced by the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) and Sela Studios, with a focus on delivering complex action sequences.

"Al Amir" reunites Ezz with Amina Khalil after working together on the 2017 film "El Khaliyya".

Sammy Sheik, Tuba Büyüküstün, Meryem Uzerli, Pedro Alonso, and Paul Anderson round out the cast.

Created by Turki Al Shaikh and written by Salah El Gehiny, the story follows an Egyptian officer operating undercover within a network of international conflicts, assuming the identity of a high-profile wanted figure while attempting to prevent an imminent attack.

"Al Amir" marks Ezz's streaming debut and is set for release in 2027.

Samaha made her last onscreen in the 2025 social-comedy TV series "El Captain".
