Ramadan 2027: Hossam Dagher joins Eyad Nassar in Upper Egypt drama Qased Tarik
Hossam Dagher has signed for Qased Tarik, a 15-episode Upper Egypt drama set in the 1930s and 1940s, written by Abdel Rahim Kamal and led by Eyad Nassar and Sedki Sakhr.
Actor Hossam Dagher has signed on to Qased Tarik, one of the first dramas confirmed for the Ramadan 2027 season, FilFan reported. The series stars Eyad Nassar and Sedki Sakhr, and Dagher now joins them in the cast.
Qased Tarik is a short series of 15 episodes rather than the usual 30. It is a Saeedi drama, set in Upper Egypt in the 1930s and 1940s, and is described as a human story with a thoughtful edge that follows a journey of self-discovery. The script is by Abdel Rahim Kamal, the writer behind some of the best-known Upper Egypt dramas of recent Ramadan seasons, and his touch on the material is one of the reasons the series is already being talked about as something different for next year.
The 15-episode format has become common in Ramadan line-ups, letting channels and platforms run two shorter series in the month instead of one long one. Several Ramadan 2027 titles announced in the past weeks follow the same pattern, from family comedies to period pieces, so viewers can expect a crowded and varied season.
Dagher's most recent television role was in El Souq El Hora (Duty Free), a comedy set inside the duty-free shop of an international airport, where travellers and staff collide in a string of light, awkward situations. That series starred Mohamed Tharwat, Hala Fakher and Mohamed Radwan with Dagher among the ensemble, was written by Hisham Yehia and directed by Shady Ali.
Before filming starts, he is on stage: he appears in Fi Hetta Tanya, a play led by Ahmed Mekky with Mostafa Ghareeb and Mostafa Khater, at the Bakr El Shedy theatre in Boulevard City as part of Riyadh Season, from 11 to 15 November.
The channel or platform that will show Qased Tarik, the director and the rest of the cast have not been announced yet. Ramadan 2027 falls in February, so filming usually runs through the winter; expect the first poster and promo in the weeks before the month starts.
