Two years following the Hulu comedy's season 3 finale, creator and star Ramy Youssef gives a promising update for season 4. Emphasizing on Ramy Hassan (Youssef) and his family as it explores their life and experiences as a Muslim American family living in New Jersey, the A24-produced dramedy has served to define Hulu and highlight outstanding talents both in front of and behind the camera. However, given the cast and crew have gone on to other projects, it is still a question mark as to when the Golden Globe-winning show will resurfaced for season 4.
Youssef spoke briefly on the Ramy season 4 situation on Variety's Awards Circuit podcast. Youssef, who developed the project with Ari Katcher and Ryan Welch, kindly went on to explain that Hulu remains open to bringing up the show for one or two seasons whenever the timing is appropriate, acknowledging that the 2023 writers and actors strikes had an effect on postponing the series. Youssef also notes in the quote below on Ramy's long relationship with Hulu and that it was under development prior to The Handmaid's Tale's launch on the streaming service:
The Hulu show has done a lot in spotlighting daily stories concerning Muslims and the way those stories aren't particularly different from everyone else's, even if it doesn't comeback. The show has also done a lot to highlight skills that might not otherwise have an opportunity to display on a premium streaming series.
As the Layla El-Faouly / Scarab on-screen sister Dana, May Calamawy has made a significant impact on Moon Knight. Veteran performers like Hiam Abbass and Amr Waked, who are Ramy's parents, have also had a stage on the show for funny yet poignant performances. Particularly Abbass's performance contrasts nicely with her icy Succession role. For Youssef too, the program has evolved significantly; the Golden Globe winner plays a major supporting role in the Oscar-winning Poor Things, hosts SNL, and headlines the well-received HBO stand-up special More Feelings.
Working to improve additional initiatives including voices from the Arab and disabled populations, Youssef and associates have Recurring on Ramy, Mohammed Amer started his own Netflix comedy show on his experiences as a Palestinian refugee. Steven Spielberg has raved over it, and it will be back for season 2. Another co-star of Youssef's, Steve Way, has been reported as working on his own series. The busy cast and crew justifies waiting even if the praised Hulu comedy will be delayed.
Hulu has Ramy on stream.
About how we would handle more Ramy episodes, we were a bit vague. Then I believe the strike placed us in a position where we said, "Okay, this is something we kind of want to probably just pick up at a different time." That's something like which I'm eager to do at some time, phone them and say, "Hey, I want to." They understand the notion of like, what may feel like the last season, maybe even something like a two-part season type arrangement. They also seemed like, "Okay, let's just pick it up when it's the right time and you're ready."
I choose that small—the door here. You know, I also truly value that from them. You know, when I first signed the development contract, for Ramy, they hadn't even produced Handmaid's Tale.
As was the case with the series generally, the finale of Ramy season 3 might be appropriate for the show but it also provides opportunity for more inquiry. Still, the Hulu show has done a lot in illuminating daily tales about Muslims and the way those stories aren't that different from anybody else's, even if it doesn't comeback. The show has also done a lot to highlight skills that might not otherwise have an opportunity to display on a premium streaming series.
