A new TV series featuring Egyptian actor Youssef El Sherif, called COVID-25, has taken top ranking among Egypt’s Twitter trends after it premiered last Wednesday on the Al Hayat and ON channels.
Following the first episode, El-Sherif’s fans expressed their admiration for the “breath-taking” series. His fans have also praised the series for not including any adult scenes, bad language, or lewdness.
The actor has a huge fan base in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, with fans eagerly awaiting every Ramadan for his shows.
This series achieved great success and viewing rates, amid fierce competition from other series being aired during the Ramadan drama season.
