The mythical history of the Sheikh Al Jabal tribe is spreading out of the Levant. In a bold move for Ramadan 2026 series lineups, Cedars Art Production has announced the release of Al Hayba Ras Jabal, a gritty and ambitious Moroccan adaptation of the acclaimed franchise. This second volume is bound to bring the high stakes world of clan loyalty, power and border justice to the rough landscapes of North Africa.
A New Territory: The Moroccan Drama Adaptation
While the original series became a cultural phenomenon across the Arab world, Al Hayba Ras Jabal reimagines the narrative with a distinct Maghrebi identity. Under the guidance of Ayoub Lahnoud, this version maintains the essence of the DNA of the so-called prestige drama: feudal warfare and outlaw love, but adds Moroccan societal undertones to it. It is an important change to the brand that will show that the legend of the friendly outlaw works across the borders.
Star-Studded Cast Leading Al Hayba Ras Jabal
Stepping into the formidable shoes of the lead patriarch is the celebrated actor Assaad Bouab. Bouab has a global reputation, and he is accompanied by a heavyweight band that consists of Hiba Bennani and Noura El Saqli. Their performances will add a new dimension to the screen, something that was never regarded as a different interpretation of the initial Syrian Lebanese masterpiece but it pays tribute to it.
Where to Watch
The series will first be broadcasted only on the sacred month. The episodes can be streamed by the viewers on Shahid or watched on the air on MBC5, which specifically targets the audience of the Maghreb region and the fans of pan-Arab drama in general.
