Love stories don’t always have happy endings, and the latest trailer from El Qessa El Kamla is here to prove it. The series has unveiled the first look at Hob Masmoom, its upcoming fourth story, starring Nour El Nabawy and Faten Saeed in a romance that seems to take a much darker turn.

Produced by Magdy El Hawary, El Qessa El Kamla is a Shahid original anthology series featuring standalone stories inspired by real-life crimes and events. Each story unfolds over three episodes, with a new installment joining the platform at the end of every month. This time, the spotlight is on a relationship that appears to have more secrets than meets the eye.
