Mahershala Ali is everywhere these days. Fresh off the heels of Marvel’s Comic-Con announcement that the Academy Award and Golden Globe Award-winning actor would star in the upcoming feature film “Blade,” comes news that Ali will join Season 2 of Hulu’s Comedy Series, “Ramy.”
Ali, who is a huge fan of the series, will join creator Ramy Youssef in the second season, which is slated to premiere in 2020.
“Ramy” follows first-generation, Egyptian-American Ramy Hassan (Ramy Youssef) who is on a spiritual journey in his politically-divided New Jersey neighborhood. Ramy brings a new perspective to the screen as it explores the challenges of what it’s like to be caught between a religious community who believes life is a moral test, and a millennial generation that might not believe in an afterlife. In the second season, Ramy will delve further into his spiritual journey, finding a new Muslim community and embracing a deeper commitment to Islam.
“Ramy” is written, executive produced, created by and starring Ramy Youssef, executive produced by Jerrod Carmichael, A24’s Ravi Nandan, co-creators Ari Katcher, and Ryan Welch, and produced by A24.
