Egyptian actress Dalia Moustafa is joining hands for the first time with veteran actor Mohamed Henedy in the TV series "Qandil".
The drama hails from prominent scriptwriter Youssef Maaty, who is making his comeback to the world of screenwriting after an 8-year absence.
He penned his last script in “El Zaeem” Adel Emam's TV series "Afareet Adly Allam" in 2017.
"Qandil" combines Henedy's usual comedic style with Maaty's sarcastic style.
The series also marks the fifth collaboration between the duo after the 2008 film "Ramadan Mabrouk Abul-Alamein Hamouda," and 2012's spin-off series "Misyou Ramadan Mabrouk Abul-Alamein Hamouda,".
They also worked together on the films "Amir El Behar" (2009) and "Teita Rahiba" (2012).
"Qandil" is set to screen during the Ramadan 2026 drama marathon.
Born on April 12, 1980, Moustafa began her acting career by working as a model in commercials.
While attending the Higher Institute for Theatrical Arts, she appeared in small screen roles from 1996 to 2000, until she booked a role in the movie "Shorts, T-Shirt and Cap".
She landed her breakthrough role in the TV series "Aleisyan" (2002), which she followed with many successful series, including "Awlad al'akabir", "Abdeen Palace", and the movie "The President’s Chef" (2008).
