That’s true in the sense that I really love these other characters. Yeah, no disrespect to you personally, but I feel like “Ramy” is sometimes strongest when it’s not about Ramy the character. Having a little bit of time really allowed me to look at it with the team and say, “Okay, what worked? What do we want more of? What excited us the most?” The biggest realization for me is just how much I enjoy making this an ensemble show. But we made Seasons 1 and 2 back-to-back, which is its own kind of exhaustion. There was some COVID delays, I went to go shoot a movie, we’re also creating another show at the same time, “Mo” on Netflix, so it’s been very busy. We started writing in winter of 2021 and there were a few things that delayed us. Even though there’s this gap in time, we’d been working on it a lot. Youssef: Yes, so Season 2 came out May 2020. IndieWire: It’s been two years since Season 2 of “Ramy,” so I’m curious how it was getting back into the headspace of the show and what you wanted to accomplish with Season 3. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. “For the record, no actual nudity,” Youssef added. After thinking he was living righteously and making understandable mistakes, he has to face the truth of who he is and what he has done, naked in every sense. Season 3 finds Ramy at lowest and most naked, trying to move forward and rebuild both his life and himself after coming clean about the affair and losing his wife.
