Karim Abdel Aziz to Collab with Director Ahmed Galal in New TV Series

Egyptian star Karim Abdel Aziz is collaborating with director Ahmed Galal in a new TV series.

“I desired to star in a 6-episode and 10-episode TVseries. We are accustomed to 30 episodes and writing the 30 episodes is different from the 6 episodes,” Abdel Aziz said in a statement.

"It will be closer to the film as the episode lasts for an hour and has a faster pace."

The series is a thriller genre and marks Abdel Aziz's first project to be made specifically for a streaming service.

On the other hand, Abdel Aziz is planning to participate in the 2023 Ramadan drama marathon with the highly-anticipated TV series “Al-Hashashin”.

The series also stars Fathy Abdel Wahab, Myrna Noureldin, Ahmed Eid, Eslam Gamal, Nicolas Mouawad, Yasser Ali Maher, Nour Ehab, Omar El Shenawy, and Suzan Najm Aldeen.

The big-budget series was set to screen during the holy month of Ramadan but got postponed to Ramadan 2024 due to the tight schedule and filming time as well as the shooting taking place in several countries abroad.

Abdel Aziz is collaborating with screenwriter Abdel Rahim Kamal and director Peter Mimi on the historical project.

The project takes place in the 11th century and sees the actor playing Hassan Al-Sabbah, the founder of Al-Hashashin.

Al-Hashashin was a sect of assassins that operated between 1090 and 1275 CE.

During that time, they lived in the mountains of Persia and Syria and the covert murder of leaders who were considered enemies of the Nizārī Ismāʿīlī State.

Abdel Aziz and Mimi last collaborated in the third season of the acclaimed TV series “El Ekhteyar” (The Choice).
