The story of the Plan B series

After their cinematic success and winning the 2024 Joy Award, Ibrahim Al-Hajjaj and Ibrahim Khairallah met again in the social comedy “Plan B”, written by Hani Sarhan, screenplay and dialogue by Sami Al-Fulaih with a workshop of Saudi writers and signed by director Munir Al-Zoubi, which is shown on MBC1 and “Watch” throughout the month of Ramadan.

The work presents the story of a unique theatrical team, consisting of a group of friends who came together after a long absence with the aim of carrying out specific tasks, which do not highlight their acting talents and artistic abilities, as much as they are forced to carry out what is required of them without objection or discussion, to achieve a specific goal. The work includes a group of actors, some of whom are experiencing comedy for the first time, including Mila Al-Zahrani, Fawz Abdullah, Fouad, Ziad Al-Omari, Hakim Jumaa, and others.
