MBC Studios, the production arm of MBC Group, has joined forces with Telfaz11 Studios, a Saudi creative media studio, to co-develop and co-produce a slate of new projects.
The collaboration promises to spotlight the rich and diverse tapestry of Saudi storytelling, blending Telfaz11’s fresh, innovative narratives and box office success with MBC Studios’ expansive regional influence and industry-leading production expertise. Together, the partnership is poised to redefine the Kingdom’s entertainment landscape.
With this new venture, MBC Studios and Telfaz11 Studios aim to nurture Saudi talent, drive creativity, and contribute to the growth of the region’s film and television industries.
Hana Al Omair, a Saudi director and Creative Director at MBC Studios, said. “It is now more important than ever to tell our own stories.
“As creatives, we are constantly seeking fresh, diverse, and thought-provoking narratives that audiences across the GCC, the region, and the rest of the world can relate to or find engaging,” she said.
MBC Studios brings decades of expertise and an extensive regional footprint to the partnership, providing the resources and platforms to amplify Saudi stories across the Arab world and beyond. This collaboration leverages MBC Studios’ ability to connect audiences to high-quality content while strengthening the Kingdom’s position as a leader in the entertainment landscape.
“By joining forces with the brilliant Telfaz11 Studios team, we are not only tapping into a treasure trove of authentic Saudi stories but also setting yet another new benchmark for excellence in regional content creation,” said Al Omair.
Telfaz11 Studios has been instrumental in shaping Saudi cinema with a roster of successful box office films.
“This partnership with MBC Studios builds on the foundation we’ve established at Telfaz11 Studios with our slate of nine feature films, which span diverse genres and cater to a wide range of audiences. Our films, such as the record-breaking Sattar and the award-winning Mandoob, have not only achieved remarkable box office success but have also demonstrated the power of authentic Saudi stories to captivate and connect,” said Wael Abu Mansour, Head of Telfaz11 Studios.
These successes underscore Telfaz11 Studios’ dedication to crafting stories that deeply resonate with audiences while contributing to the growing stature of Saudi cinema.
“Collaborating with MBC Studios allows us to expand on this success, combining our creative vision with their expertise to deliver even more compelling content. Together, we aim to elevate Saudi storytelling and create a dynamic slate of films and series that entertain, inspire, and resonate with audiences across the region,” Mansour said.
The collaborators claim their partnership aligns with the goals of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, fostering creativity, empowering local talent, and contributing to the Kingdom’s growth as a global cultural and entertainment hub.
“I look forward to us exploring bold ideas, nurturing emerging talent, and crafting productions that speak to the heart of Saudi culture, captivating and inspiring viewers far beyond the Kingdom’s borders,” said Al Omair.
Through this partnership, MBC Studios and Telfaz11 Studios hope to lay the groundwork for a new chapter in Saudi storytelling.
