A Netflix Original starring Amel Bouchoucha and Adel Karam

Netflix is all set to release it’s newest Arabic original on August 8 under the name of “Dollar” starring Lebanese actor Adel Karam and Algerian-Lebanese actress Amel Bouchoucha.

The 15-episode drama series is set in modern-day Lebanon where Tarek, played by Karam, is given a task to come up with a million-dollar idea for the launch of a new bank. An idea strikes him, but he would only reveal it to the CEO – making Zeina, the CEO played by Bouchoucha, suspicious. Keeping viewers on the edge of their seats, Dollar follows the journey of Zeina putting the pieces of this mystery together.

The series seems to have nothing in common with classical drama. Even the shooting sites were moving and covered various Lebanese areas. After his exceptional performance in The Insult – which was nominated for an Oscar in 2018 – Karam moves from comedy to more dramatic roles. He is joined by Bouchoucha, known for her performance in Abo Omar El-Masry and El Araab.
