Egyptian director Mohamed Sami has given an update on season two of the hit TV series “Gaafar El Omda”.

He stated the series will be a follow-up to its predecessor and noted it will differ while preserving the attraction elements at the same time.

On June 13, the TV series has been renewed for season 2. It is directed by Sami from a screenplay he co-wrote with Mohab Tarek. 

The series is produced by Media Hub and is set to screen during the Ramadan 2024 drama marathon.

Season one of “Gaafar El Omda” was one of the most-watched TV series during its premiere in the Ramadan 2023 drama marathon and features the usual Mohamed Ramadan fix.

The series starred Mohamed Ramadan, Zeina, Mai Kassab, Eman El Assi, Menna Fadali, Hala Sedki, Ahmed Dash, and others.

It was scripted and directed by Mohamed Sami and marked Ramadan and Sami’s fourth collaboration after the 2020 TV series “Al Prince”, the 2016 TV series “Al-Ostora”, and the 2017 film “Jawab E'teqal”.

The series opened up, as the actor's series usually do, with great tragedy: a kidnapped child, accidental killings, time in prison, and enemies galore, etc, as part of the package that comes with Gaafar, a rather fit 50-something real estate mogul living in El Sayeda Zeinab.

He is still trying to find his missing son and is fighting off his enemies right, left, and center.

Ramadan never fails to deliver his tried and true formula — fight scenes, sweet-talking the women, and doling out justice on family members who have a tendency to betray him.
