Masameer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Masameer (Arabic: مسامير) is a Saudi Arabian cartoon series developed by the studio Myrkott, a studio co-established in 2014 by Faisal Alamer, Abdulaziz Al-Muzaini, and Malik Nejer,[1] with its head office in Riyadh. In 2020 the studio signed, with Netflix, a deal for exclusive distribution for a five year period.[2]

It includes parody of Saudi societal issues. In 2017 Zahraa Alkhaisi of CNN wrote that the series was "satirical" and that the topics "would have been taboo until very recently."[1]

The namesake is the area Masameer.[1]

Masameer: The Movie was released for Netflix.[3]

In 2021, the 'Masameer Experience', a Simworx dynamic media attraction based on the series, was opened at the BLVD Ruh City development in Saudi Arabia.[4]
