MBC Shahid is bolstering its Ramadan programming for 2026 with a broad slate of Arabic-language series originating from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Lebanon, according to announcements under the hashtag “رمضان معانا” (Ramadan with us). The platform aims to capitalize on the peak viewing period, which this year falls in mid-February.
The streaming service and its associated television channels, including MBC Egypt, are preparing to present a significant number of new productions. MBC Egypt, in particular, is expected to maintain a leading share of viewership during Ramadan, according to reports. A substantial portion of the programming will consist of 15-episode series intended for the latter half of the holy month.
Details regarding specific series titles and cast members remain largely unreleased as of March 2, 2026, though promotional posters have begun to appear. The platform is positioning itself as a central hub for Ramadan entertainment in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, offering both on-demand viewing and catch-up services for broadcast television programs.
The push for expanded Ramadan content reflects the ongoing competition among streaming services and traditional broadcasters for viewers during this key period. MBC Shahid’s strategy appears focused on delivering a diverse range of locally produced dramas to cater to a wide audience across the Arab world.
