Egyptian satirist Bassem Youssef is launching a reality series in which best friends, couples and family members are flown to a remote exotic island in Abu Dhabi to face their biggest fear: learning to become healthy. Propagate International has launched sales at Mipcom Cannes on The Reset, which will see contestants put through an immersive, medically progressive plant-based wellness program that seems impossible at first, but within days completely changes their minds, bodies, and souls. Each episode follows one couple on their journey as they are pushed outside their comfort zone. Propagate is selling this week and Tom Forman (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition) is producing. Youssef is a comedian satirist and former cardiologist who has previously been compared to The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart. He hosted Al Bernameg, a first-of-its-kind political satire show in the Middle East.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you haven’t watched “Ramy” Season 3.
Ramy is suffering an identity crisis.
The character, that is. “Ramy” the show, as well as its creator and star Ramy Youssef, couldn’t be in a more confident place creatively. After Season 2 finale “You Are Naked in Front of Your Sheikh” saw Ramy confess to Zainab (MaameYaa Boafo) on their wedding night that he’d cheated on her with his own cousin (Rosaline Elbay) the night before, Season 3 begins with a full embrace of the dirtbag Ramy has become. He’s left his job with his uncle Naseem to start his own competing business in New York’s diamond district, and having lost the religious guidance of Zainab’s father, Sheikh Ali Malik (Mahershala Ali), he is nothing outside of his work. He’s rich now, but nearly friendless, especially neglecting his longtime best friend Steve (Steve Way...

Ramy Youssef is not interested in stunt casting. The co-creator and star of Hulu's Ramy, which dropped its third season on Sept. 30, has been very careful and intentional about who has entered the show's orbit since its inception—and for good reason. "The goal for me is always, if we're going to introduce someone new, I love our family and I love our friends and we really built those up in the first seasons," Youssef explained exclusively to E! News, "so if anyone is going to come in, I just want it to feel like they were already in the world, but we just hadn't gotten to them yet." Though the show welcomed Oscar winner Mahershala Ali to the cast for season...

Today, Hulu debuted the third season of Ramy, the wonderful dramedy co-created by and starring comedian Ramy Youssef as a Muslim-American man struggling to reconcile his faith with his fondness for forbidden activities like sex, porn, and drugs.
