Rise of the Witches

Has anyone heard of, or better yet seen, this?



A 10-part fantasy series set in pre-Islamic Arabia. Saudi production, huge budget, female main characters. Apparently was released at the start of 2024, but I've looked around and have found almost nothing in English. Not available on any streaming service that I'm aware of. It doesn't even have a wiki page.

I'd never even heard of it before today, but was doing some googling for inspiration for a possible future Al-Qadim-ish campaign, and happened across it. I've seen it talked about on multiple reputable sites, so pretty sure it's not another clickbait AI hallucination like many other mirages I've chased while researching this topic. I'd dearly love to check it out if i can.

Never heard of it before, but it definitely sounds interesting... Couldn't find any more information on it than you did, though.
 

I have been waiting on this for years since I first found it announced and haven’t been shown at a festival with great reviews. What other than war could be keeping it from being released? Perhaps theocratic push-back due the themes of empowered women and their misunderstanding of witches?
