Ramy

Ramy is an American comedy-drama television series created by Ramy Youssef, Ari Katcher, and Ryan Welch. It stars Ramy Youssef as Ramy Hassan, a first-generation Egyptian-American navigating faith, family, and relationships in the New Jersey area. The show also features May Calamawy as Dena Hassan, Hiam Abbass as Malaak, and Mohammed Amer as Mo, with an ensemble that explores modern Muslim life in the United States through humor and honest social observation. Ramy Youssef described the work as semi-autobiographical, drawing on his own experiences growing up in a Muslim family and balancing tradition with contemporary life.

The series examines themes of religious obligation, cultural expectation, love, and personal struggle as Ramy attempts to find meaning and belonging. Its tone blends comedy with drama, often shifting between intimate character moments and wider social commentary. Production is led by A24, with Hulu distributing the series and serving as the platform for its release in the United States.

Ramy received critical attention for its distinctive voice and nuanced portrayal of Muslim-American experiences, earning multiple nominations for Primetime Emmy Awards and other industry honors. It has been praised for its performances, writing, and willingness to tackle sensitive topics related to faith, identity, and diaspora life.

As of 2024, the series has multiple seasons and has become a defining example of contemporary multicultural storytelling in American television.
