Al Hob! Al Hob! will exclusively launch the first of its 30 episodes online at ALTV.com on the first day of Ramadan (26 May) and will continue to air daily throughout the holy month.
As one of the most watched stars across the MENA region and the Gulf, Qawas has amassed 3.5 million views per episode and over 60 million views on previous projects such as N20 and Female Show. In this latest show, he continues to showcase his work as a master of comic acting, connecting to themes of youth, community and emerging behaviours, as portrayed in Al Hob! Al Hob!.
Commenting on the deal, Qawas said: Its incredibly exciting to have an online video platform with ALTVs expertise stream the show for free online during Ramadan. Its a great way for people to catch up, share and view on-demand in a way that suits their lifestyle.
Fares M. Sayegh, owner of ROYA TV which will broadcast it on linear television throughout Ramadan, added: Were thrilled to strike up a partnership with ALTV which has been making waves in the online world across the Middle East and North Africa and look forward to collaborating on this exciting project and beyond.

Set to air on both ALTV and ROYA TV simultaneously over the Ramadan period, Al Hob! Al Hob! will also entertain audiences through exclusive social media launches, including mini episodes, teaser posts and Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat stories posted by Rajae Qawas and others.
David C. McCourt, Founder of ALTV and seasoned television producer commented: This is a fantastic opportunity to bring relatable content to audiences across MENA, bolstering the popular content that is already being shared by ALTVs established and growing network of young content creators. Al Hob! Al Hob! brings star power and strong production values to our focus on creating shows that look into the eyes and speak the minds of local people.
This partnership between ALTV and ROYA TV highlights the success that ALTVs homegrown stars have found in the short amount of time since the platforms launch last year and it will be incredibly exhilarating to see the content that they have created featured alongside Al Hob!
