Female Writers Are Owning Ramadan TV – And We’re Here for It
Ramadan TV season is a battlefield of epic storylines, unforgettable characters, and late-night binge sessions. But this year? The real MVPs behind some of the most talked-about series are women. From laugh-out-loud comedies to deep, emotional dramas, these female writers are shaping the narratives we can’t stop watching.
1. Ghada Abd El Aal – 80 Bako
Ghada Abd El Aal, the genius behind Ayza Atgawez, is back with 80 Bako, a comedy that delivers both laughs and real talk. While the show is light and hilarious, it also tackles raw, real women’s issues—from the fear of aging to the pressure of lightening your skin tone “just two shades” (yes, really). It dives into struggles like losing your hair to cancer and the harsh realities of women fighting to earn money. It’s a comedy with a bite, and we’re here for it.
2. Sherine Diab – Ashghal Shaqa Gedan
Finding the right housemaid has never been this chaotic—Ashghal Shaqa Gedan is exactly the kind of messy, addictive series that keeps us glued to our screens. Sherine Diab knows how to craft characters that feel like your besties (or worst nightmares). And if you thought she was all about comedy, think again—she’s also the writer behind Taht El Wesaya, proving she can deliver both heart-wrenching drama and comedy that makes you cry from laughing.
3. Mariam Naoum – Lam Shamsya
If you want writing that hits, Mariam Naoum always delivers. Known for El Harsha El Sabaa, Khaly Balak Mn Zizi, and Leh La, you just know she brings depth, drama, and emotional gut punches. With Lam Shamsya promising to delve into another unchartered territory, we already know it’s going to be both heartbreaking and beautiful.
4. Rana Abu Rish & Yosr Taher – Kamel El Adad ++
Rana Abu Rish and Yosr Taher have been delivering hit seasons of Kamel El Adad ++ for a couple of years now, and we still can’t get enough. Their writing perfectly captures the ‘mama bear’ energy while also nailing sibling dynamics in a way that feels so real. The mix of heartwarming moments and chaotic family drama makes this show one we keep coming back to.
5. Maha El Wazir – Alby W Moftaho
Maha El Wazir, the mastermind behind Al Bahth Ann Ola and Leabet Newton, is back at it again with Alby W Moftaho, delivering the kind of sweet, drama-filled romance we eat up every time. There’s no soul-searching, but there are plenty of hurdles in the way—exactly the kind of tension we love. Also, can we talk about Asser Yassin’s character? Def men are written by women—in the best way possible.
Women Running the Show? We Love to See It
This Ramadan, female writers aren’t just part of the conversation—they are the conversation. Whether it’s humor, heartbreak, or hard-hitting social issues, these women are proving that the best stories come from diverse perspectives. So next time you’re hooked on a show, check the credits—chances are, there’s a powerhouse female writer behind it.
