Lindsay Lohan, who supposedly converted to Islam in 2017, was originally to appear in season 2 after creator and star Ramy Youssef talked to her about a role and she agreed to do it. But Youssef stopped hearing from her days before her scenes were supposed to shoot, so he assumed that she wouldn't do it.
In real life, Hiam Abbass, who plays Ramy's mother, is 13 years older than Amr Waked, who plays his father.
