Ramadan Hit ‘Lam Shamseya’ Shines in the US This May

Ramadan 2025’s breakout drama Lam Shamseya is coming to American screens this May. It will premiere at Colorado’s acclaimed SeriesFest on May 4th.
 

The festival, known for spotlighting standout global TV, will host the show’s first episode, followed by an exclusive conversation with screenwriter Mariam Naoum and director Karim El-Shenawy.

The series fearlessly tackles sensitive topics, particularly child harassment and its lasting psychological scars.
 

It sheds light on a painful cycle—one where victims can become perpetrators—delivering a powerful wake-up call that leaves parents with much to reflect on.

The series stars Amina Khalil, Ahmed El Sadaany, Mohamed Chahine, Yousra El Lozy, Ali El Bialy, and Yasmina El Abd.
 

Lam Shamseya is written by Mariam Naoum and directed by Karim El Shenawy.

Now celebrating its 10th year, SeriesFest continues to champion international storytelling—and Lam Shamseya’s debut signals a rising global spotlight on Arabic-language series.
