The race for the highest viewership in Ramadan 2026 has already begun, with critics and fans eagerly debating which series will dominate the season. First on the lists of the most anticipated productions are two standalone shows that have created a lot of hype. While many fans have searched for Mai Omar in connection with the mystery thriller Atr Soghantoot, the actress is actually set to star in the psychological drama El Set Monaliza. Meanwhile, Atr Soghantoot (Little Train), starring Mohamed Ragab, stands as a separate, high-stakes crime series. Both performances are set to transform their respective genres and give the audiences a combination of heart-throbbing and suspenseful tales during this sacred month.
Mai Omar leads in “El Set Monaliza”
Mai Omar continues her streak of leading powerful narratives with El Set Monaliza. Unlike the action-heavy roles of her past, this Ramadan 2026 entry focuses on deep psychological layers. She depicts a divorced woman, who has to cope with the issues of independence and social reproach. Under the direction of Mohamed Ali, the series should prove to be an aesthetic and emotional truth piece making Omar a drama icon.
The Mystery of “Atr Soghantoot”
Often confused with Omar’s project due to the shared hype, Atr Soghantoot is a crime-mystery thriller starring Mohamed Ragab and Karim Afifi. It is a suspense drama with 15 episodes, which immerses the audience in a whirlwind of secrets, thus, being one of the major rivals in the genre. Fans of Mai Omar will likely tune in to both, ensuring a season filled with diverse entertainment. for more news updates, visit our Gulf Independent News page.
