Joanna Calo Exits "The Perfect Couple" Season 2 As Writer
Yara Sameh Netflix is going back to the drawing board on a potential second season of hit limited series "The Perfect Couple". The giant streamer has been developing a followup installment based on another Nantucket-set book by best-selling "The Perfect Couple" author Elin Hilderbrand, the 2024 novel "Swan Song", with The Bear executive producer/co-showrunner Joanna Calo as writer/showrunner. Calo has now exited the project. There is no new writer attached yet to Swan Song, which remains in early development. In :Swan Song," a 22-million-dollar summer home is purchased by the mysterious Richardsons who throw lavish parties, flirt with multiple locals, flaunt their wealth with not one but two yachts, and raise impossible hopes of everyone they meet. When their house burns to the ground and their most essential employee goes missing, the entire island is up in arms. Jenna Lamia was writer, executive producer and showrunner on The Perfect Couple, starring and executive produced by Nicole Kidman and directed and executive produced by Susanne Bier. Kidman and Bier are back as executive producers on the prospective Season 2 alongside fellow The Perfect Couple EPs Gail Berman, Shawn Levy, Per Saari and Hend Baghdady. The limited series, which also starred Liev Schreiber, Eve Hewson, Billy Howle, Meghann Fahy, Donna Lynne Champlin, Jack Reynor, Michael Beach, Ishaan Khatter, Sam Nivola, Mia Isaac, and Dakota Fanning, debuted September 5, 2024 and spent six weeks on Netflix's Global Top 10 for English-language series, the first two at #1 with more than 20M views each. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Moscow Launches Arabic-Language Campaign to Attract Arab Tourists
Ahmed Emam The Russian capital Moscow has rolled out a new promotional campaign aimed at boosting tourism from the Arab world, with Arabic-language posters and signs welcoming visitors across the city's streets and metro stations. According to Alqahera News, the campaign features posters bearing the phrase 'Welcome to Moscow' in Arabic, alongside symbols representing both Arab and Russian culture. Among them are images of the traditional Arabian coffee pot (dallah) and the iconic Russian matryoshka doll, serving as a symbolic bridge between East and West. As part of the initiative, Moscow's transport authority announced the release of an Arabic version of the city's metro map for the first time, designed to make navigation easier for tourists arriving from Arab countries. The campaign has already drawn strong engagement from Arab visitors, many of whom have been seen taking photos beside the posters and sharing them on social media. Observers say this response highlights Moscow's growing appeal as a summer travel destination, particularly for Gulf tourists seeking to escape soaring temperatures in their home countries. The move underscores Russia's efforts to diversify its tourism sector by tapping into new markets, with Arab travelers increasingly seen as a key audience for the capital's cultural and leisure offerings. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
