The American comedy-drama series Ramy has finally renewed its third season last month and the fans couldn’t be any more excited. The show was premiered on April 19, 2019, on Hulu. In May 2019, the streaming platform renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on May 29, 2020. The description of the show goes like this, “An insightful and hilarious glimpse into the life of a Muslim American family, Ramy perfectly articulates the precarious nature and nuances of identity and announces Ramy Youssef is a talent to watch.” Even the popularity of the show helped Ramy Youssef secure a rank on the nomination list of Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy and helped him won the 77th Golden Globe Awards.
What is remarkable about Ramy that it significantly differs from other millennial coming-of-age stories. The set of the show resembles Ramy’s childhood New Jersey home and his emotional comment made out hearts meltdown “It was actually kind of emotional when I walked in because I hadn’t seen it. It doesn’t feel exactly like my house but the emotional correctness is totally there. It’s the right vibe.” Since 2017, words were floating around regarding the pilot of the Ramy which is created by Ramy Youssef, Ari Katcher, and Ryan Welch, all of whom wrote for the series. Executive producers were Katcher, Welch, and Jerrod Carmichael. Production companies involved with the series include A24.
Ramy is the refreshing and enchanting journey of a grown-up man who is still figuring out life, hailing from a middle-class family. He is literally making lemonade out of the lemons life is giving him at every corner. He’s Egyptian-American, he’s Muslim, and he’s lived through the last two decades of American culture shaped by not only the usual personal crises of adolescence but also the specifically disorienting alienation of being a Muslim teenager in post-9/11 New Jersey.
Alongside Ramy Youssef, the cast index consists of Mohammed Amer, Hiam Abbass, Dave Merheje, Amr Waked, May Calamawy, Laith Nakli, Mahershala Ali and MaameYaa Boafo.
