Emmy Award nominee Ramy Youssef is bringing even more of his genius to Netflix. 

The writer, director, comedian, and actor is entering into a creative partnership with Netflix in which he will develop and create serialized first look projects through his production company Cairo Cowboy. 

This new deal deepens the Golden Globe winner’s relationship with Netflix, which began with the Peabody- and Gotham Award–winning comedy Mo. Youssef co-created the series about a Palestinian refugee’s life in Houston, with its star, Mo Amer, and serves as an executive producer. Mo’s second season brought the titular character’s asylum journey to an end. 

Youssef is probably best known for creating, directing, producing, and starring in Ramy, a comedy about a first-generation Egyptian American Muslim millennial on a spiritual journey in New Jersey. Over the course of three seasons, the show has received three Emmy nominations and won a Golden Globe Award and a Peabody Award. Beyond Ramy, Youssef made his feature debut in Poor Things, and received an Emmy and DGA Award nomination for directing an episode of The Bear.
