TV Series "Lam El Samasya" to Consist of 15 Episodes

Egyptian actress Amina Khalil's new TV series “Lam El Samasya” will consist of 15 episodes.

The cast also stars Mohamed Shahin, Eyad Nassar, Ahmed Rizk, Caroline Azmy, Rakeen Saad, Ahmed El Saadany, Tharaa Goubail, Safaa El-Toukhi, Yasmina El Abd, and more.

Director Karim El Shenawy will helm the series from a script penned by prominent screenwriter Mariam Naoum. Media Hub production company is the studio behind the drama.

"Lam El Samasya" is set to screen during the Ramadan 2025 drama marathon and addresses a sensitive and difficult issue: Child sexual abuse (CSA), also called child molestation, which is a form of child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent uses a child to fulfill their sickest and darkest needs.

The drama raises several questions, including whether the assault occurs in schools or on the street and if those held responsible for the crime are parents or only teachers.

Naoum came up with the idea of “Lam Shamsya” in 2019, with the journey to the small screen going to 2022. 

The drama faced major creative changes that led to it being postponed more than once. Mona Zaki was attached to play the titular role before she apologized and Khalil came in as her replacement. 

The original cast also featured Eyad Nassar, Ahmed Rizk, and Sawsan Badr, before the current cast signed.

Khalil previously said of the casting: “This is something that happens in our field. Sometimes I have roles and I drop from the producer due to production problems or personal reasons, and the role goes to someone else. I think this is something natural. Certainly, if Mona had played the role, she would have been creative in it like all her works.”

Zaki also offered very high praise for Khalil, saying: “Amina is a great actress. I bet it will be one of the best Ramadan shows, and it achieve tremendous success. I am sure that it will be something really great.”
