A new TV series titled Lobat Al Mara Rajol by Ayyad Media Art Productions and Media Group Production is scheduled to air across the Gulf on a number of satellite channels during the Holy Month of Ramadan. Based on a novel by Saudi writer Sarah Al Olaiwi, the show highlights social issues such as the dual life that men in the Saudi and Arab societies lead within and beyond the home.
The filming of the series is nearing completion. Produced by Media Group Production, Lobat Al Mara Rajol marks a milestone in the Saudi entertainment industry.
Written by Ahmad Al Maghrebi, the series is directed by Jordanian director Iyad Al Khzzour, who has to his credit popular shows such as Bayareq Al Araba, Awraq Al Hob Karima, Doaat Ala Abwab Jahanam, and Sultana.
Speaking about the production, director Iyad Al Khzzour said: The series will mark a departure from my previous works. We will shoot several parts of the series in the format of reality TV, which is unprecedented in Arabic drama. We have chosen this route to offer the viewer a realistic portrayal of the Saudi society. A unique approach will not be limited to the direction aspect alone, but will cover all components in a bid to present a meaningful and distinctive show.
Lobat Al Mara Rajol revolves around the protagonist Reem, who is attached to her only brother Nayef. The entire familys favourite, Reem too seeks his company and approval. Her obsession extends to her dislike of his wives, which makes Nayef uneasy. Reem tries to thwart Nayefs personal and professional success fearing that she might be overshadowed. The plot develops with the family facing difficult situations and taking painful decisions.
Mazen Ayyad, chairman of Ayyad Group, added: We have put together our resources and efforts to produce the series. Filmed in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Bahrain, and Switzerland, the locations were selected on the basis of the original novel. Our show will not be exclusive to any channel and aired during and after the Holy month of Ramadan to attract a larger audience.
