Ramy Youssef talks season two of Ramy on Hulu

Youssef has spent his quarantine editing remotely, frantically trying to finish Season 2 of “Ramy” on time.

“He called me, just on the vibe of, ‘Hey, I’m a practicing Muslim as well and really appreciate what you’re putting out,'” Youssef said. “Then it just turned into us hanging out and, of course, I had to ask if he wanted to be on it.”Through the sheikh and his daughter Zainab , Youssef introduces a discussion of colorism in the Muslim community, which he viewed as “important to highlight.”

“We cast Lindsay Lohan in it, I had a great convo with her. I thought she was coming, she was on the call sheet, we were kind of prepped for it, and I’m not sure where she was. I knew she was in New York, and I was like maybe she went back overseas? But the time I did get to talk to her was great, she was such a cool person. I felt like we connected and then I didn’t hear from her,” Youssef explained.

If It’s Friday, I Must Be Recommending ‘Ramy’ - Now See This: Emmy Deadline Brings Out a Variety of TV WinnersThe second season of Ramy, probably the show I recommended to the most people in 2019, premieres Friday on Hulu and it’s going to be more polarizing than the first. Star and co-creator (and frequent director) Ramy Youssef steers his alter ego down a frequently misguided path of self-discovery and the results are hilarious, sad and infuriating. With the exception of one character arc, I loved all of it. THR TV critic Inkoo Kang had more reservations.
