Riham Abdel Ghafour to Star in TV Series "Five Stars"

Egyptian actress Riham Abdel Ghafour has signed on to star in the social thriller TV series "Khamas Nogoum" ("Five Stars").

It hails from director Tamer Ashry and is produced by Ahmed Fahmy.

"Five Stars" consists of 15 episodes and is set to be screened during the Off Season.

Principal photography is set to commence soon.

Abdel Ghafour was recently seen starring opposite Mohamed Farrag Netflix’s highly anticipated original series "Catalog".

Directed by Waleed El Halfawy and penned by Ayman Wattar, "Catalog" is set in Cairo and follows Youssef (Mohamed Farrag), a father of two reeling from the sudden loss of his wife, Amina (Abdel Ghafour).

However, Youssef finds a lifeline in the most unexpected place: a series of parenting videos his late wife recorded before her death.

The cast also includes Samah Anwar, Tara Emad, Ali El Beialy, Retal Abd El Aziz, Donia Sami, Sedky Sakhr, Dina Samy, Khaled Kamal, Bayoumi Fouad, and more.

"Catalog" combines emotional rawness with gentle humor, exploring not only the grief but also the process of rebuilding.

The drama marks Abdel Ghafour and Farag's second collaboration after the series adaptation of “Room 207“.

Abdel Ghafour, born on September 6, 1978, is the daughter of the late veteran Egyptian actor Ashraf Abdel Ghafour.

Throughout her journey, Riham has delivered some of the most remarkable performances in television and cinema, contributed to theater and short film projects, and left a lasting impact on the Egyptian and Arab artistic scene.
