The series is directed by Amr Salama, written by Ingy Abou El-Soud and produced by The Planet Studios.
The original series Prestige, produced by Yango Play, made its debut with an exclusive premiere event at Teatro Arkan in Cairo, hosted in collaboration with strategic partner Vodafone Egypt. The evening celebrated the release of the first episode and brought together an array of stars, creators and industry figures.
Among those walking the red carpet were lead cast members Mohamed Abdel Rahman, Mostafa Gharib, Randa Awad and Dina, joined by rapper Ziad Zaza and content creator Abdel-Aty. Director Amr Salama and writer Ingy Abu Saud were also in attendance, along with high-profile figures from Yango Play and Vodafone Egypt. The celebration drew a wider circle of celebrities and influencers, including Hesham Maged, Akram Hosny, Hany Shenouda, Ali Rabee, Rahma Ahmed, Nesreen Amin and Ahmed Abdel Wahab.
The event marks a significant step for Yango Play in expanding its footprint within the Arab and Egyptian content market. By investing in high-quality local storytelling, the platform continues to pursue its vision of delivering regionally rooted yet globally appealing entertainment.
Joe Al-Khawand, Head of Originals at Yango Play, said: “What drew me to Prestige was the challenge, and the story that is anything but conventional; it carries depth and offers space that allows us to work in a new way that aligns with the taste of today’s audience. It’s a bold and unique story. We’re excited to present this exceptional work to our audience, and through it, we aspire to elevate the standard of original productions in the region.”
Prestige is a blending mix of suspense, comedy, crime and mystery. Produced in collaboration with The Plant Studios, the show promises a captivating and distinctive viewing experience.
In an exclusive statement, director Amr Salama added: “Prestige isn’t just a thriller series — it’s a blend of multiple dramatic genres. It has suspense, and at the same time, light comedy that breaks the tension. The unique mix within the cast is what added those diverse and enjoyable moments. A heartfelt thank you to Yango Play for their support and belief in the project.”
The series will premiere exclusively on Yango Play starting April 24, with new episodes released twice weekly on Thursdays at 6 PM Cairo time. Yango Play is accessible across Egypt and the wider Middle East on all devices, and is currently offering new users a one-month free trial to explore its growing library of premium content.
