After years of limiting their joint appearances to guest roles in each other’s projects, stars Donia and Amy Samir Ghanem are preparing to reunite as a artistic duo through two major projects planned for 2027: a television drama and a theatrical play. The step is eagerly anticipated by their fan base, who have long called for a full collaboration to revive the family comedy atmosphere that achieved massive success in the past.

At the forefront of these projects is the second season of the hit series Nelly and Sherihan, which both stars have signed on to present for the Ramadan 2027 drama season. The decision comes more than a decade after the premiere of Season 1, which achieved widespread popularity during Ramadan 2016 and became one of the most prominent comedy works uniting sisters on screen.
According to available information, official preparations for the series have already begun in anticipation of filming in the coming months. The production team is putting the final touches on the script and technical arrangements to prepare for the return of the two characters audiences connected with over the years. The new season is expected to feature numerous surprises and comedic situations reflecting the evolution of the characters since the end of the first season.
Season 1 of Nelly and Sherihan unfolded as a social comedy centered on two cousins: "Nelly," played by Donia Samir Ghanem, and "Sherihan," portrayed by Amy Samir Ghanem. Despite sharp contrasts in their personalities, the two were forced to cooperate to claim their grandfather’s inheritance, setting off a long series of adventures and humorous situations that relied on their lighthearted humor and natural screen chemistry—contributing to high viewership ratings and a strong audience following.
The collaboration between Donia and Amy will not be limited to the small screen; they are also preparing to embark on a new theatrical experience marking their first joint lead performance on stage—a step that adds a new dimension to their shared artistic career.
The new play is directed by Khaled Galal and produced by Ahmed El-Sobky, co-starring Bayoumi Fouad and Mohamed Tharwat. The production team is currently finalizing preparations, with the official performance dates expected to be announced in the coming period once production arrangements are finalized.
This theatrical project marks a distinct milestone in the sisters' careers, as they have never previously headlined a play together on stage—heightening audience excitement for the collaboration, especially given the success of several comedy plays in recent years.
Despite the strong artistic connection between Donia and Amy, their joint lead collaborations remained limited over the years, confined primarily to Nelly and Sherihan, while other appearances were limited to guest roles in each other’s works.
The year 2027 appears set to mark the beginning of a new chapter in the careers of Donia and Amy Samir Ghanem as they combine television drama and theater simultaneously. The move reflects their desire to build on their past success and present comedic works associated with their names, leveraging their long experience and substantial audience presence in a return expected to be one of the most anticipated artistic events of the upcoming season.
