Egyptian actor Maged El Kedwany has signed on to star in the TV series "Sana Ola Talaq".
The drama is scripted by Sherine Diab and produced by Tarek El Ganainy.
"Sana Ola Talaq" is set to screen during the Ramadan 2026 drama marathon.
The series witnesses El Kedwany's comeback to the drama marathon after a four-year absence.
He made his last participation in the drama marathon with the TV series "El Ekhteyar S3" in 2021.
"Sana Ola Talaq" marks another reunion for El Kedwany and El Ganainy after collaborating on the TV series “Mawdoo Aaely" and films "Waafet Reggala" and "Feha Eh Yaani".
Born on December 10, 1967, El Kedwany was born in Cairo's Shoubra district but spent his childhood in Kuwait.
He returned to Cairo after completing secondary school, joining the Faculty of Fine Arts.
The multi-award-winning actor graduated with a bachelor's in design and then pursued a degree in acting from the Higher Institute of Theatrical Arts, which he completed in 1995. Before graduating he was already joining in small plays.
The turning point in his life came when actor and director Karam Metwaea nominated him for a role in the play "727," and afterwards in the television series "Arabesque."
Kedwany’s professional acting career began in 1996 with the plays "El-Eskafy Malek" (The Shoemaker is King), and "Arafit Al-Asphalt" (Asphaly Ghosts), which spotlighted his talent and brought him roles in several television series such as "Nahnu La Nazraa Al-Shawk" (We Don't Grow Thorns) and "Abyad We Eswed Tany" (Black and White Again) as well as films including "Ganet El-Shayatin" (Devils Paradise) and "Kawkab El-Sharq" (Star of the East).
Another turning point came in 2001 when he garnered popular recognition through roles in comedy films, including "Haramiya Fe KG2" (KG2 Thieves), "El-Ragol El-Abyad El-Motawaset" (Average White Man), and "Askar Fel Moaskar" (Camping in the Camp).
El Kedwany was memorable in many successful films, such as "Cabaret," "Teer Enta" (Go Fly), "El-Farah" (The Wedding) as well as the more serious film "678" that shed light on sexual harassment.
His role in "678" earned him a jury award from the 47th Chicago Film Festival and a Muhr Award for best actor from the Dubai International Film Festival.
El-Kedwany’s role in the film "Asmaa" earned him the award for best actor from the Abu Dhabi Film Festival.
He further won local awards for "Saa We Nos" (An Hour and a Half), and "Abl Zahmet El Sef" (Before the Summer Crowds), from the Egyptian Film Society, and for his latest film "Hepta: The Last Lecture" from the Catholic Cinema Centre.
