Egyptian star Aiten Amer is continuing to film her upcoming series “Baby Boom” in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as the production moves closer to completion ahead of its expected October release. 🎬✨
The series was initially announced under the title “Baby Shark” before its name was changed to “Baby Boom.” The project marks the first collaboration between Aiten Amer and Saudi actor Ibrahim Al-Hajjaj, bringing together two popular performers from the Egyptian and Saudi entertainment industries.
Aiten Amer reportedly has around 10 days remaining to complete her scenes before the production moves into post-production, including editing, sound mixing and final episode preparation.
🎥 A Short-Format Drama
“Baby Boom” consists of 10 episodes, placing it within the growing short-form drama trend that has become increasingly popular among digital audiences.
Rather than relying on the traditional long television format, the series is expected to deliver a more concentrated narrative, with faster pacing and a stronger focus on the central characters and unfolding events.
⭐ Aiten Amer and Ibrahim Al-Hajjaj Together
One of the biggest attractions surrounding the series is the first collaboration between Aiten Amer and Ibrahim Al-Hajjaj.
The pairing brings together an established Egyptian actress with a prominent Saudi performer, creating an opportunity for the series to appeal to audiences across both Egypt and the Gulf region.
The project also reflects the growing popularity of Arab co-productions, in which artists and production teams from different Arab markets work together to create content designed for a broader regional audience.
🇸🇦 Filming in Riyadh
The series is being filmed in Riyadh, adding a contemporary Saudi setting to the production.
Riyadh has increasingly become an important destination for Arab television and film productions, benefiting from the expansion of the Saudi entertainment industry and the growing number of regional projects being developed and filmed in the Kingdom.
For Aiten Amer, the Riyadh shoot also represents another step in expanding her presence within Gulf and Arab productions. 🎭
🎞️ The Creative Team
Eli Samaan is directing “Baby Boom,” while producer Jamal Sinan is behind the production.
The creative team is reportedly aiming to deliver a different drama experience built around suspense, a fast pace and unexpected developments.
Although many story details remain undisclosed, the production has been promoted as a project containing several surprises in terms of both its characters and events.
📺 When Will “Baby Boom” Premiere?
“Baby Boom” is scheduled to premiere in October 2026 on Shahid, with the project also connected to the MBC network as part of its planned distribution.
The timing gives the production team a relatively short window between the completion of filming and the final delivery of the episodes.
💫 Aiten Amer Expands Her Arab Presence
“Baby Boom” continues Aiten Amer’s recent interest in Arab and Gulf productions.
The actress has previously appeared in regional projects including “Wash Saad” and “One Wife Is Not Enough,” helping her strengthen her connection with audiences outside Egypt.
Her new series represents another opportunity to expand that presence, particularly through her collaboration with Ibrahim Al-Hajjaj and the Saudi production environment.
🔥 Why Is the Series Attracting Attention?
Several elements have already generated interest around “Baby Boom”: the title change, the first collaboration between Aiten Amer and Ibrahim Al-Hajjaj, filming in Riyadh and the series’ 10-episode format.
Its short structure and reportedly fast-paced storytelling also fit the viewing habits of audiences increasingly turning to streaming platforms for compact drama experiences.
As filming approaches completion, viewers are waiting for more promotional material, including the official trailer and additional details about the characters and storyline. 👀🔥
🎭 A New Arab Drama Experience
With filming nearing its final stage, “Baby Boom” is moving toward post-production and its planned October release.
The combination of Aiten Amer, Ibrahim Al-Hajjaj, Eli Samaan and Jamal Sinan, alongside the Riyadh setting and 10-episode format, gives the series several elements capable of attracting attention across the Arab entertainment market.
More details about the story, characters and promotional campaign are expected to emerge as the October premiere approaches. ✨📺
