As Ramadan 2026 approaches, Roya TV has announced a wide-ranging programming slate for the holy month, featuring a blend of entertainment, comedy and culinary shows aimed at Jordanian and Arab family audiences and aligned with the spirit of Ramadan.
Central to the lineup is Roya TV’s popular “Comedy Hour,” which continues to be a key attraction for viewers seeking daily light-hearted entertainment.

The comedy slate further includes Qabban Mousa, a social comedy set in a quiet village that examines the balance between tradition and modernity, with performances by Mohammad Al-Ajarmeh, Noha Samara, Rabee Zaitoun and Sara Abu Zahra. Another highlight is Shaker, which follows a former boxing champion who wakes from a six-year coma to a dramatically changed world shaped by the post-COVID era and social media, delivering humorous and heartfelt moments through a cast that includes Youssef Ja’roun, Maria Alian, Lana Mushtaq and Nadim Rimawi.
Alongside its entertainment offerings, Roya TV is placing strong emphasis on food programming during Ramadan.
