Ramy Youssef discusses the third season of his show “Ramy,” which shifts away from its main character and follows the story lines of his Muslim American family and their struggles with assimilation.
At the 2020 Golden Globes, Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon presented the award for Best Actor in a Television Series Musical or Comedy. As Aniston opened the envelope to read the winner’s name, she visibly froze up.
This season takes “Ramy” to Jerusalem. Given the time line of events in between the last season and this one—the pandemic, the escalating violence in the Israel-Palestine conflict—when was this season written? It changed a lot. Last summer, everything that was happening in Israel and Palestine became very public on Instagram. In the U.K., conversations around Israel and Palestine are a lot more nuanced. People tend to know more. There’s a big Irish-Palestinian solidarity because of what the Irish have gone through. In America, it’s kind of been this button you don’t touch, or something you don’t know.
Your show never gets preachy, and you seem quite averse to making any kind of grand political statements. But with this season, given some Americans’ newfound interest in the plight of Palestinians, were you tempted to make a strong pro-Palestine statement? Was there a push and pull there in developing that episode? How did you thread the needle?
When I started the show, there was an initial shock of “Oh, whoa, our son is onscreen and he’s doing all these things that we hope he’s not doing in real life.” Then it kind of transitioned into them being incredibly supportive. My relationship with my family has gotten even more intimate since the show. In the beginning, the show was closer to real life, but now the characters have taken on a life of their own.
