Paranormal (Arabic: ما وراء الطبيعة) is an Egyptian supernatural-horror drama television series based on Ahmed Khaled Tawfik's best-selling supernatural book series Ma Waraa Al Tabiaa. The series first premiered on Netflix on November 5, 2020. Paranormal is Netflix's first original Egyptian Arabic-language series and the third Middle Eastern Netflix original series, following Jinn.[1][2]
Directed by Amr Salama and Majid Al Ansari, late author Ahmed Khaled Tawfik's book series comes to life in this adaptation, starring Ahmed Amin, Reem Abd El Kader, Samma Ibrahim, Razane Jammal, and Aya Samaha.[3] The show received high viewership in the first days of its release, as it quickly made its way up the ranks to become the number one most watched show in the "Top Ten in Egypt Today" list. Paranormal is still ranked number one in Egypt [citation needed] and was ranked amongst the top ten most watched shows in several countries around the world.[4] The series became the first Egyptian program to reach Netflix's Worldwide Top 10 charts, peaking at #7 (though it lasted on the top 10 for only 8 days).[5]
