Netflix has set the premiere date for Catalog, a new Arabic drama series from Egypt. Check out the teaser.
Set in Egypt and grounded in the everyday complexities of Arab family life, Catalog explores how families evolve in the face of loss, how men are reshaped by responsibility, how it takes a village to raise a family, and how parenting rarely follows a script.
The series follows Youssef (Mohamed Farrag, 18 Days, Girls and Motorcycles), a man who suddenly finds himself solely responsible for raising his two children after the death of his wife, Amina (guest star Riham Abdel Ghafour, Room 207). Out of sync with their routines and disconnected from their emotions, Youssef is overwhelmed… until he discovers a series of parenting videos his late wife had recorded before she passed. Each video becomes his guide — a beacon through grief, a roadmap back into his kids’ hearts, and a mirror revealing strengths he never knew he had.
Catalog, a Netflix Series, premieres globally on Thursday, July 17, exclusively on Netflix. (You can set a reminder for it now.)
Directed by Waleed El Halafawy, produced by Ahmed El Ganainy, and written by Ayman Wattar, the series features Tara Emad (The Atheist), Khaled Kamal (Devil’s Promise), Bayoumi Fouad (The Thief of Baghdad), Samah Anwar (Mysterybox), Sedky Sakhr (Sound and Photo), Donia Sami (Al Nus), Ali El Beialy, Retal Abdelaziz, and Ahmed Essam Elsayed.
