Netflix has unveiled the release date and first look for its upcoming scripted comedy series ‘Mo’ from Mo Amer & Ramy Youssef. A heartfelt comedy series ‘Mo’ will start streaming exclusively on Netflix from 24th August, 2022.
‘Mo’ on Netflix will follow the story of Mo Najjar who straddles the line between two cultures, three languages and a ton of bullshit as a Palestinian refugee constantly living one step away from asylum on the path to U.S. citizenship. His family — including his resilient and spiritual mother, sister and older brother — flee to Houston, Texas. Laughing the pain away, Mo learns to adapt to his new world though getting ahead in life comes with several setbacks.
