Netflix to Produce Abla Fahita Original Series

Netflix has announced that our favourite sassy and savage puppet will be getting her own original series! The series is set to premiere on the internet service in 2020 and will be produced by OKWRD production in cooperation with ASAP Productions and EP Amin El Masri. The programme teases that it will show another side to Abla Fahita in a social comedy-drama, and will be available in over 20 languages across 190 countries.

According to Netflix, the plot revolves around Abla Fahita after her rise to stardom in the Arab world, only to face obstacles with society and the law. Abla Fahita commented on this partnership, saying, “Damn this globalization! I barely had enough time for my own show, and now they want me to do a series…it’s obvious how the world today is a sad place in dire need of laughter, and nothing beats the Egyptian sense of humour to relieve the world of its misery.” Well, ain’t that the truth?
