DUBAI: British Lebanese actress Razane Jammal stars in 2026 film “Asad Al-Osoud,” and she took to social media this week to share the first trailer for the film.

Directed by Egyptian filmmaker and Marvel’s “Moon Knight” director Mohamed Diab, Jammal stars alongside Egyptian star Mohamed Ramadan in the period drama.

Jammal, famous for her roles in Netflix series “The Sandman” and “Paranormal,” is joined by Maged El-Kedwany, Khaled El-Sawy, Sherif Salama and Ahmed Abdelhamid in the upcoming film.

The historical action-romance is set in the 1800s, with 2,000 extras being drafted in for the production along with large-scale action sequences led by renowned stunt designer Kaloyan Vodenicharov.

In the trailer shared by Jammal, snippets from the film show its lead star being dragged along by a horse, as well as scenes of a budding romance between Ramadan and Jammal’s characters.

Jammal most recently starred in Season 2 of Netflix’s “The Sandman.” The second season of the show landed on the streaming platform in July in two parts, with Jammal taking to Instagram to share behind-the-scenes photographs from the shoot.

“Dream dangerously and beware of the kindly (not so kindly) ones,” Jammal captioned her post on Instagram.  

The carousel of photos shows Jammal in a hair and makeup studio, as well as on location in a mist-covered field.

In the role that arguably shot her to stardom, Jammal played Lyta Hall in 2022’s “The Sandman,” based on the legendary graphic novels — and she reprised her role in the latest season.

In June, she launched her own children’s book, titled “Lulu and Blu.”

“What started as a little story I wrote seven years ago turned into a book for your little ones. I’ve poured my (heart) into this and I’m thrilled to invite you all to our first launch in Beirut,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

The book tells the tale of a “vegetarian lioness, a friendly fish and their most unusual friendship,” according to the author.

Published by Turning Point Books, the story was illustrated by Sasha Haddad, a Lebanese illustrator who graduated from Cambridge School of Arts in 2014.

Black Knight has managed to strike a rare balance in ��������’s growing coffee scene: a brand that feels both accessible and refined. Established in 2018, it has become one of the most recognizable local names in specialty coffee, known for blends that are bold without being bitter, and distinct without losing their smoothness.

Among their offerings, the Adham blend stands out as one of the best I’ve tried. It’s a coffee that doesn’t rely on complexity to impress; instead, it delivers depth through precision. The flavor is rich, full-bodied, and naturally sweet, with clear notes of honey, caramel, and nuts. What I like most is that it manages to stay clean and balanced, there’s no sharp acidity or unpleasant aftertaste, just a steady, rounded finish that lingers in a pleasant way. Whether brewed hot or over ice, Adham holds its character perfectly.

The price point is fair, especially considering the quality and consistency of the roast. It’s the kind of everyday specialty coffee that feels premium without pushing you to overspend. On the other hand, their Ronaldo blend offers a beautiful flavor profile as well but sits on the higher end of the price range — delicious, but harder to justify for regular use. 

Black Knight products are widely available, I usually order their beans through Ninja App or find them at local specialty retailers like Modern Supply, and they’re also available online for direct purchase.

What Black Knight has done well is create a brand that feels distinctly Saudi but can compete with international roasters. The attention to detail, quality control, and flavor design make it clear that this is more than just another local brand, it’s a confident player shaping how specialty coffee is perceived in the Kingdom.
