‘Ramy’ season 3 trailer debuts with first look at Bella Hadid in new role

DUBAI: Season three of the Golden Globe-winning show "Ramy" is almost here but lead star and creator Ramy Youssef is still trying to "find the meaning of life."

In the first official trailer for season three of the smash-hit Hulu TV series, "Ramy," we find our titular character in monetary and spiritual debt. Caught between his religious Muslim community and his wider spiritually-bankrupt millennial community, Ramy is still confused about what he wants from life.

Meanwhile, Ramy's family is also struggling to reconcile their culture with that of New Jersey, as they continue to grapple with what it means to live in America.

"Maybe you would come to therapy?" asks May Calamawy's Dena Hassan to her shocked mother at one point in the trailer.

This will be Calamawy's first TV appearance since her well-received performance in Marvel Cinematic Universe's "Moon Knight," also starring Hollywood superstar Oscar Isaac.

Audiences also get their first look at part-Palestinian model Bella Hadid making her series debut in a recurring role as actor Steve Way’s “weirdo girlfriend” in the series, as described in GQ.

“Ramy” Season 3, spanning 10 episodes, premieres Sept. 30 on Hulu. The show, streaming in the Middle East on OSN+, doesn't have a release date for the region as yet.

Writers boycott Adelaide Festival after Randa Abdel-Fattah is dropped

DUBAI: A wave of writers have withdrawn from the Adelaide Festival’s Writers’ Week, prompting organizers to take down a section of the event’s website as the backlash continues over the removal of Palestinian Australian author Randa Abdel-Fattah from the 2026 program.

The festival confirmed on Friday that it had temporarily removed the online schedule listing authors, journalists, academics and commentators after participants began pulling out in protest of the board’s decision, which cited “cultural sensitivity” concerns following the Bondi terror attack.

In a statement posted online, the festival said the listings had been unpublished while changes were made to reflect the growing number of withdrawals.

By Friday afternoon, 47 speakers had already exited the program, with more believed to be coordinating their departures with fellow writers.

High-profile figures stepping away include Helen Garner, Chloe Hooper, Sarah Krasnostein, Miles Franklin Prize winner Michelle de Kretser, Drusilla Modjeska, Melissa Lucashenko and Stella Prize-winning poet Evelyn Araluen.

Best-selling novelist Trent Dalton also withdrew from the event. He had been scheduled to deliver a paid keynote at Adelaide Town Hall, one of the few Writers’ Week sessions requiring a ticket.
