25-year-old stand-up comedian Ramy Youssef is set to star in Hulu’s new comedy series Ramy, which he has also written, produced, and created.
Ramy Hassan is a first generation Egyptian-American who is on a spiritual journey in his politically-divided New Jersey neighbourhood. Ramy will bring a new perspective to the screen as it explores the challenges of what it’s like being caught between a Muslim community that thinks life is a moral test and a millennial generation that thinks life has no consequences.
The series is a 10-episode half-hour comedy series written, executive produced, created by and starring Ramy Youssef (Mr. Robot), and executive produced by Jerrod Carmichael, A24’s Ravi Nandan, showrunner Bridget Bedard and co-creators Ari Katcher and Ryan Welch.
Starring Ramy Youssef, Mohammed Amer, Hiam Abbass, Amr Waked, May Calamawy, Dave Merheje, Laith Nakli, and Steve Way.
Ramy premieres April 19th on Hulu.
