DUBAI: US TV series “Cypher,” penned by Egyptian screenwriter Mohamed Sayed Bisheer and helmed by Tunisian director Majdi Smiri, is set to premiere on Netflix on April 1.
The eight-episode action series tells the story of an elite FBI code breaker who unlocks a covert hit list and quickly becomes a target himself, as he tries to prevent the shadowy killings from happening.
Egyptian filmmaker Ahmed Hafez, whose Netflix’s thriller “Paranormal” was released in 2020, edited the first episode, titled “The Code.”
The series is an Egyptian-American co-production between Cairo-based AROMA Studios and United Brothers, along with other international companies, including Thriller Films, AZ Film Studios and Organic Media Group.
“Cypher” stars Australian actor Martin Dingle Wall, American actors Brian Krause, Eve Mauro, Jaclyn Hales and more.
The drama is currently available on Roku, available only for audiences in the US and Canada.
