After receiving remarkable recognition last year, the series &ldquo;El Nos&rdquo; returns in Ramadan 2026 with its second season titled &ldquo;El Nos El Tany.&rdquo; The new season is expected to explore what happens in Abdulaziz el Nos&rsquo; life following the dramatic events of the first season&rsquo;s finale.
Season one concluded with Abdulaziz and his team carrying out a final operation, stealing a jewel in an act of revenge against the colonialists. Seven years later, Fouad Pasha approaches Abdulaziz and asks him to join a resistance organization against the occupation, setting the stage for the highly anticipated continuation.
From Repentance to Crime Again
Season one of &ldquo;El Nos&rdquo; begins with Abdulaziz working as a tram conductor, attempting to repent from his past life as a pickpocket. However, everything changes when the secret police raid the militants, and his brother, Mahmoud, is accidentally shot. After losing his job and facing expensive medical costs, Abdulaziz is forced to return to pickpocketing to save his brother.
He hires lawyer Rustum to defend Mahmoud and gradually forms a team that includes Zaqzouq, Rasmiya, Darwish, and Ismail. What begins as small scams quickly escalates into larger and more dangerous operations.
Expanding Operations and a Dangerous Deal
As their activities expand, from tram robberies to gambling sessions and even targeting an English camp in Maadi, Officer Alawi begins investigating the group. Instead of arresting Abdulaziz, Alawi proposes a deal.
In exchange for avoiding prison, Abdulaziz and his team must help protect an ancient cemetery that the British are attempting to seize. Abdulaziz fulfills the agreement, yet his criminal ambitions continue to grow, leading to a bold plan to rob the National Bank.
Betrayal and Revenge
Internal betrayal shakes the group when Darwish is revealed as a traitor. Arrests follow, and Abdulaziz ultimately turns himself in after striking a deal with Lord Macmillan to secure the release of his brother and friends.
While in prison, he uncovers the full truth behind the betrayal. With the help of his allies, Abdulaziz escapes and carries out one final operation against the colonialists before disappearing for seven years.
Blending Comedy with Untold Historical Facts
What makes &ldquo;El Nos&rdquo; stand out is its unique blend of historical information and comedy. The series entertainingly revives lesser-known aspects of Egypt&rsquo;s social and underground history.
One example highlighted in season one is the popular game &ldquo;Head or Tail.&rdquo; In 1930s Cairo, children were seen tossing newly minted coins in the streets, calling out &ldquo;Head or Tail!&rdquo; What seemed like a simple childhood game later became embedded in Egyptian culture and evolved into a common decision-making method that still exists today, even digitally.
The Pickpockets&rsquo; Syndicate: Myth or Reality?
The series also sheds light on the so-called Pickpockets&rsquo; Syndicate. Contrary to common assumptions, it was not a formal union but rather a tightly organized guild. Experienced pickpockets mentored newcomers, assigned territories, and resolved disputes. If someone violated territorial rules, the matter was brought before the group&rsquo;s leader for mediation.
This portrayal reveals a structured underworld society rarely discussed in mainstream historical narratives.
The Oldest Egyptian Currencies Featured
Old Egyptian paper currencies also appear in the promotional poster of &ldquo;El Nos.&rdquo; Among the most famous was the &ldquo;Bereza,&rdquo; which originally circulated as a paper note. It was equivalent to 10 piasters, or 2 shillings, while one Egyptian pound equaled 10 berezas.
These historical details reflect the economic atmosphere of that era and add authenticity to the series&rsquo; setting.
Inspired by true events and adapted from a book by Ayman Osman, &ldquo;El Nos El Tany&rdquo; is written by Sherif Abdel Fattah, Abdel Rahman Gawish, and Wagih Sabry. Starring Ahmed Amin, Sedki Sakhr, Hamza Al-Aili, Asmaa Abu Al-Yazid, Basmah, Donia Sami, and Abdel Rahman Mohamed, the series presents a gripping drama infused with moments of comedy.
