A five-season series, 'Al-Aidarous' has six episodes per season.
Arab Telemedia Group has announced the TV series titled Al-Aidarous as part of its production plan for 2022.
Al-Aidarous, directed by Bassam Al-Masry, reflects the Arabian Desert life with all its natural, aesthetic, and social manifestations. The series contradicts mainstream views on Bedouin life and history, while maintaining the social values Bedouins take great pride in; their Arabian desert environment, and culture. It sustains their traditions by the conditions imposed on them in the harsh desert. The series focuses on a number of values including great hospitality, especially towards a refugee that is protected and avenged by the Bedouins. It’s important to note that Bedouins may declare war if any of their guests is insulted or assaulted.
The cast includes Jordanian and Arab actors including Khalid Al Ghware, Nadera Omran, Dana Jabr, Mohammad Al Ibrahimy, Habes Hussein, Ali Elayan, Refaat Al Najjar, Nariman Abdel Karim, Shakir Jaber, Mustafa Abu Hanoud, Luna Bishara, Salah Al Hourani, Katrine Ali, Khaled Jazaa, Monther Khalil, Omar Helmi, Ishaq Elias, Hani Al Khaldi, Muataz AlLabadi, and Dawood Afishaat.
Al-Aidarous will be brought to the audience in a five-season and six-episode frame.
The series is written by the Jordanian writer Mustafa Saleh, best known for Nimer bin Edwan, Alia’s Eyes, and The Stranger’s Promise, among others. The script was created by a content research and development team under the direct supervision of producer Talal Al-Awamleh.
Producer and group CEO Talal Al-Awamleh said: “Producing a Bedouin series in these times is a great challenge with the diverse technology options available for TV production and other broadcasting channels. ATG took this challenge as an opportunity to glorify humane and artistic values through the series, adding dimensions to the viewers’ feelings and thoughts while watching the series.”
Al-Awamleh added: “Al-Aidarous aims to present the authentic Bedouin tendency for freedom with all the glory the desert provides for women as well as men. This contradicts the hypothetical, Bedouin stereotype and provides a more authentic and credible image of Bedouin life. As he continued that “Producing such a title will include all the elements needed to deliver a genuine and thrilling Bedouin story.”
The latest and most advanced TV production technologies were adopted in creating this series. The series introduces the environment and life of the tribes occupying the Arabian desert while sharing similar customs, origins, history, and professions.
