Synopsis
Paranormal (2020), Season 1 — a six-episode Egyptian drama from Netflix, watch online on iFILM. Cairo, the 1960s. Hematologist Dr. Refaat Ismail is a committed rationalist who trusts blood samples and lab results. Then Maggie, his old flame from Scotland, arrives back in town, and things he cannot explain start happening around him.
Each episode carries its own legend: a pharaoh's mummy trailing a black cloud over the city, a mythical guardian in the Libyan Desert, a water spirit that hypnotizes whoever hears its voice. Running through all six is a quieter thread — the death of a young woman named Shiraz, and three tarot cards that surface one by one, pulling Refaat deeper into something he cannot rationalize away.
Netflix's first Arabic original, adapted from Ahmed Khaled Tawfik's long-running Egyptian horror-fantasy series. For viewers who want supernatural stories grounded in a real place and a real era, this one earns its setting. Stream Paranormal Season 1 online on iFILM.
