Eshmawy, the series that brings Mohamed Ramadan back to Ramadan television in 2027, now has its three female leads. Director Peter Mimi announced them on his Facebook page: Lebanese singer and actress Cyrine Abdel Nour, Egyptian actress Yousra El Lozy and Tunisian actress Sara El Tounsi, FilFan reported.

Each comes with a named role. Cyrine Abdel Nour plays Sherine El Nasser, Yousra El Lozy plays Sabrine and Sara El Tounsi plays Souma El Qersh. The series is produced by Al Sabbah, one of the busiest production houses of the Ramadan season.

Eshmawy is Mohamed Ramadan's first Ramadan drama since a three-year break from television series, which makes it one of the titles people are already watching for. Last month actor Bassem Samra confirmed on his own social media that he is in the cast, and this is the first time the women of the series have been named. FilFan also reported that Al Sabbah denied recent talk of trouble behind the scenes and said work on the series is going ahead.

Pairing an Egyptian lead with stars from Lebanon and Tunisia has become a habit of the big Ramadan productions, which are made for viewers across the Arab world, not only in Egypt. For Yousra El Lozy, Eshmawy is another Ramadan role after several seasons on the small screen, while Cyrine Abdel Nour has long split her career between music and drama.

The writer, the full cast and the channel or platform that will show Eshmawy have not been announced yet. Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin in early February, so there are about three months to go. Expect the next names, and a first teaser, to come from the director and the production company's own pages in the coming weeks.
