The Saudi Arabian Version of The Office is Identical to the US

Many shows and sitcoms known to the public don’t only have one version. If you watch an American version of a show, that doesn’t mean that another version from across the world isn’t making others as happy as you. This fact is beyond true with the Saudia Arabian version of the beloved comedy sitcom, The Office. Tune in and see why this version is seemingly identical to the one people have enjoyed for so long!

The Saudi Arabian version of the beloved sitcom, Al Maktab, began filming in June of 2022, and there have been countless trailers and clips spreading over social media and the internet. The senior VP of format Sales for BBC Studios, Andre Renault, suggests that although office work may look different for many nowadays, it’s still a joy to experience the original office atmosphere. He even comments that the Middle East and the Gulf will take to the main character, Malik, just as well as they have with the main characters of the British and American versions.

Viewers Have Some Good Comments

Many people started asking where they could watch the new Saudi Arabian version of the show as they were excited to see how it played out.
