Ramy creator and star Ramy Youssef has given a promising update on the chances of a fourth season of Hulu’s hit comedy-drama. The show sees Youssef playing the titular character, an American-Muslim man who tries to navigate his faith and lifestyle in modern-day New Jersey. Ramy season 1 debuted on Hulu in 2019 with 10 episodes. The series has so far run three seasons and 30 episodes, earning critical acclaim for its positive portrayal of Muslims in the West, with Youssef earning a Golden Globe Award for his performance.
In an interview with ScreenRant at SXSW on the #1 Happy Family USA red carpet, Youssef talked about the possibility of Ramy returning for a fourth season. He responded positively when asked about the chances of more Ramy in the future, indicating that another season might happen at some point, but he doesn’t know when. Nevertheless, he remains optimistic about the Hulu series continuing in the future. Check out Youssef’s comments on the matter below:
Yes. We’re hoping to do another season at some point—I just don’t know when. But we’re hoping, for sure.
It Feels Inevitable The Show Will Return For At Least One More Season
The chances of Ramy season 4 getting a renewal seem pretty likely, and Youssef’s comments, while non-committal, are promising. The critical success of the show, including its 94% critical Rotten Tomatoes score, coupled with its strong storytelling and successful run on Hulu, means there is certainly still an appetite for the story and the issues it explores. It has been over two years since the Ramy season 3 finale, so any renewal would depend on Hulu’s interest, and Youssef’s schedule.
While the success of the show to date has been strong, its future will largely depend on its star and the narrative direction he wishes to take.
Nothing is known yet about the possible narrative direction that Ramy season 4 could take, but there are plenty of plot threads that could be explored. There are many unanswered questions from Ramy season 3 that will need to be revisited and concluded, especially if season 4 marks the end of the series. These will no doubt inform story arcs for the new season, as the show will likely seek to set Ramy on the path to a redemption arc that will conclude the series.

While the success of the show to date has been strong, its future will largely depend on its star and the narrative direction he wishes to take. It seems as though Youssef has a plan for season 4, and his hopeful update suggests that scheduling will be the crux of the matter here. Provided the cast and crew of Ramy can find time to reunite, there’s every chance Ramy season 4 will happen sooner rather than later.
