Nour El Ghandour takes on her first Egyptian starring role in the series “8 Shots”

Egyptian actress Nour El Ghandour is embarking on a new chapter in her career after a string of successes in Gulf dramas that established her as one of the most prominent faces on screen. This time, Nour enters the Egyptian Ramadan drama competition with a new series titled "8 Shots," marking her first leading role in an Egyptian drama, amidst great anticipation from both audiences and critics.

Production details and new collaboration

The series is produced by Yango Play in collaboration with Eagle Films, owned by producer Jamal Sinan, and is considered one of the major projects for Ramadan 2026. Comprising only 15 episodes, the series promises a fast pace and intense storylines. Sources have revealed that filming will take place in Dubai in the coming period, in an atmosphere that blends mystery, suspense, and human drama.

The team and a special contribution from Mohamed Sami

Director Mohamed Sami will oversee the overall direction of the series, while also appearing as an actor. An executive director will be appointed later to handle day-to-day filming. The cast includes Nour El Ghandour, Fathy Abdel Wahab, Ingy El Mokadem, and Mirna Nour El Din, in a mix of experienced actors and rising stars.

A new step after a successful season

The series “8 Shots” comes as a natural extension of Nour Al-Ghandour’s career after her success in “One Wife Is Not Enough” during Ramadan 2024, where she received widespread acclaim for her role as “Zeina,” an ambitious young woman who balances intelligence and emotion. With her move to Egyptian drama, Nour is banking on this new experience to expand her presence in the Arab world and demonstrate her ability to diversify her roles and artistic settings.

Early suspense and behind-the-scenes messages

Recently, Nour posted a photo on her Instagram account with producer Jamal Sinan, captioned "Soon," indicating the countdown to the start of the project. Sinan had announced the collaboration weeks earlier, describing Nour as a "partner in success" and confirming that preparations for a major series are progressing steadily in anticipation of the upcoming Ramadan season.

With this step, Nour Al-Ghandour opens a new chapter in her career, moving from Gulf successes to the Egyptian experience, placing her name among the most prominent Arab stars who strive to present quality works that express their artistic maturity and confidence in their abilities.
