Mohamed Sami Retires from Making TV Series 

Egyptian scriptwriter-director Mohamed Sami has declared his intention to leave developing TV series behind.

In a lengthy post on Facebook, Sami bid farewell to his fans and confirmed that his decision wasn't sudden, but one that he had been planning for some time, but he preferred to stick to his commitments until the end.

"This year marks my last television project. I bid farewell to TV series," Sami wrote. "It has been a long journey of about 15 years, during which I gave everything I could to bring joy to the Arab audience."

Sami is currently participating in the Ramadan 2025 drama marathon with his final projects: "Saeed El Nass" and "Ash Ash".

He explained that one of the main motivations for the decision was his desire to avoid falling into the trap of repetition, noting that he had given his all to television drama.

"New and talented creators are emerging every day, offering fresh perspectives," Sami noted.

He also expressed his gratitude to those who supported him throughout his career and revealed his plans to travel abroad and continue his academic journey.

"A person can choose to stop doing what they love to pursue something else, but it takes the support of family to make that decision. I’m convinced that a person can decide at any time to stop something they love to pursue something else they also love and want to try, but they need a family to support their decision," he concluded.

Sami launched his career with music videos for Haifa Wehbe, before making his first steps in television with "Adam" (2011), followed by "Maa Sabq Alesrar" (2012) and "Hekayet Hayah" (2013), both starring Ghada Abdel Razek. 

He wrote and helmed the film "Regatta" (2015). 

Sami also wrote and directed Tamer Hosny in the 2017 film "Tisbah Ala Khair".

He has also formed a dynamic duo with Mohamed Ramadan, teaming up on the 2023 TV series "Gaafar El Omda", the 2020 TV series “Al Prince”, the 2016 TV series “Al-Ostora”, and the 2017 film “Jawab E'teqal”.

Throughout his 15-year career, Sami collaborated with stars like Amr Saad, Mai Omar, Ahmed Zaher, Abeer Sabry, Maged El Masry, Ahmed El Sakka, and Amir Karara.
