Arab Telemedia Group preps slate of historical and family dramas

Historical series Muawiyah

Middle Eastern production house Arab Telemedia Group is prepping a slate of projects covering historical, comedic, Bedouin, sci-fi and contemporary genres.

The Jordan-based group’s 2021 and 2022 productions include September’s Gold, a three-season drama series telling the story of one female refugee’s journey through betrayal and abuse after fleeing war and corruption.

Elsewhere, Talal Street begins in 1953 and tells the story of the late Hussein bin Talal, who was King of Jordan from 1952 until his death in 1999. The series focuses on the social and economic development of Amman, Jordan and consists of nine seasons with 10 episodes each.

Family of Two Floors is a family-oriented series about two families who will stop at nothing for wealth and success, while Muawiyah is a historical series that sheds light on the trials and tribulations of Caliph Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan, the group said.

Al-Aidarous is a Bedouin fantasy series about the desert and its people where “women are the heroines and changemakers of the story,” Arab Telemedia Group said.

Led by CEO Talal Al-Awamleh, Arab Telemedia is also working on a series of short-form programmes including skits and animations that “celebrate the region’s culture and beliefs,” the prodco said.
