Production underway on actor Ahmed Ezz's upcoming star-studded TV series "Al Amir" ("The Prince").

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