Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent “Seven Types of Ambiguity,” the Australian TV series involving a mystery told from the shifting perspective of seven characters, is getting an Arabic adaptation as an original production for beIN Media Group’s TOD streaming platform.
Titled “Mirage” or alternately (“Sarab”) in Arabic, the first international adaptation of the six-part ABC series – which is based on the acclaimed novel by Australian author Elliot Perlman, revolving around the disappearance of a child in suburban Melbourne — is being transposed to a Middle East setting.
Just like the original, each episode of the ten-part Rashomon-like show is told from a different point of view. Shooting is underway on the Arabic adaptation of “Seven Types of Ambiguity” which is being directed by Egypt’s Ahmad Khaled (“The Thief of Baghdad”) and toplines Egypt’s Khaled El Nabawi (“Kingdom of Heaven”) and Yousra El Lozy who recently starred in surrogacy-themed Ramadan drama “Selat Rahem.” The series’ cast also comprises Hani Adel; Ahmad Magdy; Naglaa Badr; Ahmad Wafik; Jihan El Chamachergy; Engy El Mokadem; and Diamond Bou Abboud.
Qatar-based powerhouse beIN Media Group – a co-owner of U.S. indie studio Miramax – has partnered with prominent regional production company S Productions on the project in association with Universal International Studios. “We’re very pleased and excited to be working on such a big production in the Middle East, building bridges and bringing stories from global to local,” Mia Edde, VP of original content at beIN Media Group, said in a statement.
