Saudi star Elham Ali headlines the trailer, portraying a popular singer who finds herself at the heart of a mysterious wedding that gradually transforms into a terrifying nightmare, hinting at a new season that delves deeper into the worlds of crime, psychological horror, and mystery.

Background to the success of "Monsters" and its impact
The production of the second season comes as an investment in the immense success of the first, which distinguished itself by presenting a new model in Gulf drama. The series adopts a format of separate episodes, where each episode tells the story of a true crime that shook society, recast in a compelling dramatic style. This approach, which combines realism and suspense, was a key reason for attracting a wide audience who found it a refreshing departure from traditional storylines.
The importance of working within the context of Saudi drama
The series “Monsters 2” reflects the qualitative leap the entertainment industry in Saudi Arabia is witnessing, under Vision 2030, which supports local production and encourages the exploration of new, previously unexplored dramatic genres, such as psychological horror and crime dramas inspired by true stories. Presenting works of this production quality and bold approach contributes to strengthening the position of Saudi drama on the regional stage and opens the door for it to compete on global platforms.
The episode "The Jinn's Wedding," and the second season in general, are expected to have a significant impact that extends far beyond mere entertainment. The series doesn't just offer horror and suspense; it also sheds light on complex social and psychological aspects underlying these crimes, sparking important societal discussions. With its anticipated premiere during Ramadan 2026, audiences have high hopes for "Monsters 2," anticipating it will be another milestone in the rising trajectory of Saudi drama.
