ALBAWABA - Cyrine Abdelnour joins Mohamed Ramadan in the upcoming Ramadan drama.
Lebanese actress Cyrine Abdelnour is officially joining Mohamed Ramadan in his highly anticipated television series 'Ashmawi', bringing the two stars together for their first acting collaboration. The series is scheduled to premiere during the Ramadan 2027 season, and new details about Abdelnour's character have now been revealed.
The casting was first reported on November 7, when Egyptian and Arab entertainment outlets confirmed that Abdelnour had signed an agreement to appear in the production. The actress also confirmed the news herself in an interview with Youlyou, revealing that she had officially joined the project and was preparing to travel to Egypt to begin filming her scenes.
However, the biggest revelation came shortly afterward when director Peter Mimi announced the actresses playing the wives of Ramadan's character. Abdelnour will portray Nadine El Nasser, joining Egyptian actress Yousra El Lozy, who plays Sabreen, and Tunisian actress Sarah El Tounsi, who appears as Soma El Qeresh.
Mimi shared promotional images designed as confidential character files, introducing the three actresses as the wives of Khalifa, the character played by Ramadan. He described the announcement as official and exclusive, generating further interest in the upcoming series.

According to reports published by Al Ain News, Abdelnour will not appear from the opening episodes. Instead, her character is expected to enter the story beginning with the fifteenth episode, becoming involved in important developments as the drama progresses.
Her participation marks her return to Egyptian television drama and her first collaboration with Mohamed Ramadan. Although the actress has appeared in several Arabic productions throughout her career, audiences are particularly interested in seeing her opposite the Egyptian star for the first time.
What Is Mohamed Ramadan's 'Ashmawi' About?
The 30-episode series follows Khalifa, played by Ramadan, a father of three daughters who works as an executioner at the Egyptian prison service. Known by the nickname Ashmawi, he initially leads a relatively stable family life before an unexpected crisis changes everything.
His life becomes increasingly complicated when a member of his family becomes involved in a serious legal case. The situation pushes him into a difficult struggle as he attempts to protect his family while dealing with the consequences of the crisis.
The story combines family conflicts, suspense and human drama, with Khalifa's personal relationships playing an important part in the unfolding events.
