Perfect for long weekend vibes and no-commitment watching.
AlRawabi School for Girls – Jordan
6 episodes / 2 seasons
A revenge drama, but make it Gen Z. The outcasts of an elite Jordanian girls’ school flip the script on their bullies with a master plan. Sharp, intense, and seriously addictive. Think Mean Girls, but way deeper.
Finding Ola – Egypt

Ola’s life falls apart and she builds it back—on her terms. This sequel to Ayza Atgawez is part drama, part comedy, and all heart. Hend Sabry absolutely owns every scene. Peak main character energy for your Eid al-Adha watchlist.
Franklin – Lebanon
6 episodes
Single dad, a counterfeit artist, and a dying daughter mean one thing: a high-stakes drama. Oh, and he’s working with his ex. Set in Beirut, this suspenseful ride is all about survival, sacrifice, and the perfect fake $100 bill.
Echoes of the Past – Egypt
8 episodes
Wrongly accused of his sister’s murder, Yehia is out for justice or maybe revenge. A gritty Egyptian thriller with twists, dark secrets, and one seriously determined lead. Heavy but worth it.
The Cage – Kuwait
8 episodes
Marriage counseling, messy relationships, and one very overwhelmed therapist. This Kuwaiti dramedy serves relatable chaos with heart. Ideal if you want something light but real this Eid al-Adha.
Love, Life, and Everything In Between – Across the Arab World
8 episodes
Eight countries. Eight love stories. One Valentine’s Day. This beautifully shot anthology brings romance, culture, and a little dark humor to your screen. Each episode is its own mini-movie with major feels, directed by top filmmakers from Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and Morocco.
