Catalog OTT Release Date: This heartfelt Arabic series is all set to stream on July 17, only on Netflix, and this one¡¯s bound to hit close to home for many. Starring Mohamed Farrag and Riham Abdel Ghafour, the show dives deep into what it really means to lose a loved one, especially when that loved one was the glue holding the family together.
What is Catalog about?
Set in modern-day Egypt, Catalog tells the story of Youssef, played by Mohamed Farrag, a man who never really had to take charge at home. That was Amina¡¯s job, his wife, the mother of his two kids, the emotional centre of their small world. But Amina, played by Riham Abdel Ghafour, is gone now. And Youssef is suddenly thrust into the role of full-time dad, cook, chauffeur, and emotional anchor. He¡¯s lost, overwhelmed, and barely holding it together.
Then something unexpected happens: he finds a series of home-recorded videos. Before her death, Amina had documented a guidebook of sorts for their children from bedtime routines to how to handle their tantrums, crushes, or just a bad day at school. These videos become Youssef¡¯s lifeline not just to survive fatherhood, but to rediscover himself, heal, and rebuild his family.
