LONDON: Paramount+ announced on Monday two Arabic stand-up comedy shows as part of its new content programming.
The popular American streaming service, which operates in the Middle East as a premium OSN offering, is set to present two Dubai-produced programmes.
The first season of “Comedy Central Presents: Menna W Fina” will premiere on July 7, while “Comedy 3al Wagef” is available from the following day.
Both shows feature up-and-coming Arab comedians, including Amr El-Sherif, Ahmed El-Awady, and Mayar El-Masry, all of whom perform their own material.
In addition to the new comedy shows, Paramount+ is also adding a number of other new titles to its lineup in July.
These include the third season of “Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens,” all six “Mission: Impossible” movies, and the fourth season of “Blue’s Clues & You!”
The streaming service, which had been known as CBS All Access, last year announced a major international expansion, including plans for 150 international originals by 2025.
