Khaberni - Egyptian actor Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz has stirred a wide state of controversy in the past few hours, after he posted on his official Instagram account the promotional poster for his new series "Al-Metr Samir," which is scheduled to be shown in the second half of the Ramadan season 2026, accompanied by a brief and mysterious comment that read: "Al-Metr Samir is my last work."
Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz sparks debate with a mysterious comment
The short phrase was enough to ignite social media sites, prompting his audience and followers to raise many questions about whether he intends to retire from acting definitively, or whether the matter is simply an expression of the work, considering it his latest artistic project to date. Meanwhile, speculations escalated in the absence of any official clarification from the artist up to now.
Audience interaction
The audience, accustomed to Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz's intense presence in recent years, whether in cinema or television drama, seemed surprised by the phrasing of the statement, considering it to bear an unusual implication, especially since the young star is experiencing a noticeable artistic activity and has succeeded in forming a broad fan base thanks to his choices that blend comedy with social drama.
Some followers saw the phrase as a preamble to a sudden retirement decision, linking it to similar cases of artists who announced their departure from the artistic scene through brief messages on social media, before issuing official statements later. On the other hand, others considered that the phrase might have been misunderstood, and that it simply means that "Al-Metr Samir" is the latest work he filmed or finished recently, with no intention to stop working.
Despite the escalating discussions across social media platforms, Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz has not issued any statement clarifying his intended meaning of the comment, leaving the door open for various interpretations, and keeping a sense of anticipation in place awaiting a clarification to resolve the debate.
Details of the series "Al-Metr Samir"
This interaction comes at a time when the star is preparing to premiere his new series "Al-Metr Samir," which belongs to the genre of social works with a comedic flair, and is set to be shown within the schedule of the second half of Ramadan 2026, amid strong competition among a number of short series.
The events of "Al-Metr Samir" revolve around the character of the lawyer Samir Abu Al-Wafa, who is known for his remarkable intelligence and distinctive sense of humor, and is known within his neighborhood for his ability to resolve family disputes and contain disagreements between neighbors. However, the dramatic irony lies in his failure to manage his personal crises, as he finds himself stuck in complex problems related to his past and previous mistakes.
As the events escalate, Samir faces legal pursuits and increasing pressures, while at the same time trying to maintain his image in front of others as a mediator capable of restoring balance to the lives of those around him. This contradiction between his success in helping others and his inability to save himself adds a human dimension to the work, creating a dramatic space that combines comedy and poignant situations.
Stars of the series "Al-Metr Samir"
In addition to Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, the series stars Mohamed Abdel Rahman, Nahed El Sebai, Salwa Khattab, and Rehab El Gamal, in a cast that combines experience and youth. The work is written by Mamdouh Metwally and directed by Khaled Marei, who has previously collaborated with Karim in works that have achieved significant public presence.
"Al-Metr Samir" continues Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz's approach in presenting characters from the middle class, involved in human and comedic situations simultaneously, a line that has contributed to consolidating his image as a star capable of combining lightness and dramatic depth
