Kuwaiti actress Fawz Al-Shatti is set to compete in the upcoming Ramadan season with three diverse television projects that span social drama, crime, and comedy genres. According to recent reports, the busy actress will appear in multiple series airing during the highly competitive Ramadan viewing period, marking one of her most ambitious seasonal lineups to date.
Al-Shatti’s first project is the social drama series “Mataahat Hayat” (Life’s Labyrinth), where she stars alongside Faisal Al-Omari and Rahaf Al-Anzi. Written by Ali Shams and directed by Mohammed Daham Al-Shammari, the series is set in the 1990s and follows Al-Shatti’s character “Hayat,” a woman struggling to secure her children’s future during the final days of her life.
Fawz Al-Shatti Joins Crime Drama Series
Additionally, the actress will appear in the second season of “Wohoush” (Beasts), starring Ahmed Al-Najjar and Ilham Ali. The series, written by Faisal Al-Bloushi and directed by Mohammed Salama, features separate storylines exploring complex psychological struggles. Al-Shatti presents the third story titled “The Savage Mother,” portraying a mother living under severe psychological pressure.
The anthology format of “Wohoush” allows the Ramadan drama series to explore multiple themes through disconnected narratives. Each story delves into the darker aspects of human psychology and the circumstances that push ordinary people to extreme situations. This format has proven popular with Gulf audiences seeking compelling dramatic content during the holy month.
Comedy Series Rounds Out Ramadan Lineup
In contrast to her dramatic roles, Al-Shatti will also participate in the third season of the comedy series “Mardi wa Daham.” She joins cast members Abdulnasser Darwish and Ahmed Al-Awnan in the project written by Mohammed Al-Kandari and Ahmed Sabah and directed by Abdullah Al-Arak. The series showcases a series of comedic situations and pranks that create daily confusion filled with humorous moments.
The diversity of Al-Shatti’s Ramadan projects demonstrates her versatility as an actress capable of transitioning between genres. Meanwhile, her participation in three separate productions highlights the competitive nature of Ramadan programming in the Gulf region, where networks vie for viewer attention during peak watching hours.
Ramadan Drama Competition Intensifies
However, juggling multiple roles during the Ramadan season presents significant challenges for actors. Production schedules often overlap, requiring performers to balance filming commitments while maintaining the quality of their performances across different projects. The practice remains common among established Gulf television stars seeking to maximize their visibility during the season’s lucrative advertising period.
Al-Shatti’s involvement in both continuing series and new productions reflects broader trends in Gulf television production. Networks increasingly invest in franchise series like “Wohoush” and “Mardi wa Daham” that have established audience bases, while also developing original content to attract new viewers. The mix of period drama, psychological thriller, and comedy programming aims to capture diverse audience segments.
The specific premiere dates for Al-Shatti’s three Ramadan series have not been officially confirmed by production companies. Typically, networks announce detailed broadcast schedules closer to the start of Ramadan, which is expected to begin in late February or early March 2025, depending on moon sighting announcements.
