In his new Hulu original series, Egyptian-American comedian and actor Ramy Youssef stars as Ramy Hassan, a first generation Egyptian-American who is on a spiritual journey in his politically divided New Jersey neighborhood. Ramy, which debuts April 19, will bring a new perspective to the screen as it explores the challenges of what it is like being caught between a Muslim community that thinks life is a moral test and a millennial generation that thinks life has no consequences. Youssef will participate in a discussion after a special preview screening of the first three episodes. The series also features Steve Way, Dave Merheje, Laith Nakli, May Calamawy, Mohammed Amer. Program runs approx. 120 mins (including discussion). View trailer
