Since its debut in 2022, Netflix's 'Dubai Bling' has captivated audiences worldwide, amassing substantial viewership in its latest season, with 18.6 million hours in its opening week. The show, available in multiple languages, is a part of a broader trend of Arabic content gaining international popularity on Netflix. Other successful titles like 'Honeymoonish' and the adaptation 'Love Is Blind Habibi' further highlight this rising interest. Creator Mazen Laham emphasizes Netflix's influence as transformative for Arab filmmakers, expanding their reach significantly beyond local productions.

Netflix's commitment to showcasing stories from the Arab region has been a game changer for Arab filmmakers, according to Dubai Bling creator Mazen Laham.
