MBC Studios showcases stars of Saudi series ‘Ahmar Wala Abyad’ for exclusive premiere

RIYADH: MBC Studios hosted an exclusive premiere on Thursday of the first episode of the Saudi Arabia series “Ahmar Wala Abyad,” with the cast and creative team behind the show.

The event offered an early look at the eight-episode drama, which explores family tensions, ambition and betrayal through a fast-paced storyline.

Speaking to Arab News at the premiere, director Munir Al-Zoubi said the shorter format reflects changing viewing habits, particularly as audiences increasingly consume drama on mobile phones and streaming platforms.

“Nowadays, drama is available through mobile phones and applications,” Al-Zoubi said. “A viewer could be at the airport, traveling, pick up their phone and watch an episode. The audience now wants something fast.”
