The collaboration between Yousuf Sharif and Amr Samir Atef began in 2012 with the series "Raqm Majehul", where Sharif played a lawyer who receives mysterious phone calls that change his life. This marked the first of several successful collaborations between the two. Their partnership has resulted in a string of notable works that have captivated audiences with their unique blend of suspense, mystery, and drama.

One of their notable works is the 2014 series "Al-Sayyad", which revolves around a young man working in a security agency whose life takes a dramatic turn after an accident. The series explores themes of redemption and the complexities of human nature. Sharif's performance was well-received, and the series is often cited as one of the standout works of their partnership.

In 2015, Sharif and Atef teamed up again for "La3bat Iblis", a series that delves into the world of magic and the supernatural. Sharif played dual roles, showcasing his versatility as an actor. The series was praised for its intricate plot and thought-provoking themes, solidifying the duo's reputation as a force to be reckoned with in Egyptian television.

Their subsequent collaborations include "Kafr Delhab" (2017), a series that blends elements of fantasy and mystery, and "Al-Nihaya" (2020), a science fiction series set in the year 2120. Both series received critical acclaim and further cemented Sharif and Atef's status as a dynamic creative duo.

After a brief hiatus, Sharif and Atef reunited for "Fann Al-Harb", which aired during the previous Ramadan season. The series featured a talented ensemble cast, including Rima Mustafa and Sherry Adel. With its gripping storyline and strong performances, "Fann Al-Harb" was well-received by audiences and critics alike.

Their latest project, "Al-Zill", promises to be just as engaging. The series consists of 15 episodes and is directed by Ahmad Nader Jalal. Sharif will once again collaborate with Atef, who has penned the screenplay and dialogue. Production credits go to Maha Slim, and the series is based on a story by Ahmad Abd al-Fattah.
