Widespread controversy over a second part of “Al-A’sha Street”

Saudi writer Badriya Al-Bishr's statements regarding the possibility of producing a second season of the series "Sharia Al-A'sha" sparked widespread controversy among the public, with opinions divided between those who support the idea and those who oppose it. This came during her interview with Al-Qabas newspaper, where she confirmed that serious discussions are currently taking place among the show's creators to make the appropriate decision, especially after the series' tremendous success in its first season.

Opinions rejecting the idea of a second part The idea of a second season of “Sharia Al-A’sha” faced criticism from some viewers, who believed that outstanding works do not need additional seasons that might negatively impact their quality.

One follower commented: “They're killing us with sequels! Every time a series is successful, they think of a new season, but it's rarely as strong as the first.” Another commented: “The series was already stretched out in its last few episodes, and extending it for a second season might make it even more boring.”

Wide support for the idea of the new season In contrast, many viewers expressed their enthusiasm for a new season and suggested developments. One follower wrote, "We want a second season where Saad returns, changes his life, marries Awatif, and plays Mohammed Abdu's songs for her!" Another expressed hope that the new season would cover the 1980s and 1990s, considering it a golden era worthy of dramatic recounting.

“Al-A’sha Street” between novel and joint production It's worth noting that the series "Al-A'sha Street" is adapted from the novel "Love Stories of Al-A'sha Street" and was produced in collaboration between the Turkish company Al-Qamar and a number of Saudi and Turkish writers. The series has garnered widespread attention due to its events that highlight social transformations in Saudi Arabia, making it one of the most prominent dramas of the season.
