One of the most popular shows in the world is being reimagined for the Arab world.
Suits, the smash-hit drama series that aired in the US from 2011 to 2019, will see a local adaptation entitled ‘Suits Arabia’.
Fans of Suits also won’t have to wait too long—the version is set to launch as an OSN Original during Ramadan 2022, with 30 episodes set to air during the Holy Month, starting on April 2.
The acting line-up for the remake has also been announced.
The cast will feature Asser Yassin as Harvey, Ahmed Dawoud as Mike, Saba Mubarak as Jessica, Reem Mostafa as Donna, Tara Emad as Rachel, and Mohamed Shahin as Louis.
Filming began in January 2022, and the 30 episode Ramadan binge-athon will constitute the series’ first two seasons.
The show will be produced by Tvision Media Productions alongside UMS and NBCUniversal Formats for OSN, who previously partnered on Saturday Night Live Arabia.
The show will be written by Mohamed Hefzy—who just made a huge global splash as the producer of the smash-hit Netflix series Perfect Strangers, among many other recent accomplishments. It will be co-written by Yasser Abdel Mageed, directed by Myriam Ahmadi, and produced by Tarek El Ganainy, CEO of TVision Media Productions.
If you haven’t watched Suits, or heard about the show from the many people who have hemmed their entire personality to fit their love of Suits, it is best known at the show that introduced Prince Harry to Megan Markle, who he first became a fan of as she starred on the show.
