The Saudi drama scene is set to welcome a highly anticipated comedy series, "Diary of a Married Man," airing during Ramadan. This new installment continues the success of the first season, "Diary of a Single Man," delving deeper into the intricacies of married life. It follows the protagonist, Abdullah, portrayed by star Ibrahim Al-Hajjaj, from his search for a life partner to the daily challenges of living together within the "golden cage.".
A dramatic context reflecting social reality
This series falls within the genre of light social comedy, which has gained immense popularity in Gulf drama in recent years.

The importance of the work and its expected impact
The significance of the series "Diary of a Married Man" lies in its ability to offer a realistic, yet humorous, reflection of married life in Saudi and Gulf society.

The series is expected to achieve widespread success, capitalizing on the fan base built by the first season, in addition to the immense popularity of its star, Ibrahim Al-Hajjaj, known for his spontaneous comedic talent. Regionally, the series represents a significant addition to Ramadan drama productions and is a strong contender among the shows offered by the Shahid platform and MBC channel, thus enhancing the standing of Saudi drama in the Arab world.
A cohesive cast and a fresh storyline
The series continues with the same young cast who shone in the first season, ensuring the chemistry and harmony between the characters are maintained. It presents itself as an excellent family entertainment option during Ramadan, combining laughter with meaningful situations that all family members can enjoy. As its premiere date approaches for Ramadan 2026, audiences eagerly anticipate how Abdullah will face his new adventures and how he will manage to balance his former freedom with the demands of married life in a comedic format that resonates with everyone.
