Earlier this year, the streaming giants announced its first Arabic production: a stand-up comedy featuring Lebanese actor Adel Karam that is set to premiere exclusively in early 2018.
You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to know that Netflix is set to fuel the Egyptian viewer’s hunger for entertainment. Egyptians showed an enormous appetite for streaming with binge-racing, and Netflix is all here for it — promising more Arabic and local content in 2018.
Below are the most binge-raced TV shows by Egyptians in 2017, but before delve into them — let us first explain what binge-racing is. According to Netflix Middle East, binge-racing is to “speed through an entire season within 24 hours of its release and to be the first to finish it.”
Obviously, Stranger Things: Season 2
Marvel’s The Defenders: Season 1
Fuller House: Season 3
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life: Season 1
Comedy shows that people devoured in Egypt include; A Series of Unfortunate Events, GLOW, Disjointed and Big Mouth. While dramas that made it to the top of Netflix’s most viewed list of titles in Om El Donia this year are The Crown and Frontier.
