Netflix is preparing to release a new Kuwaiti psychological horror series, Al-Nafs Al-Mutma'inna, as part of its Halloween line-up.

The series, known in English as Obsess, will premiere on 30 October and is set in Kuwait during the 1980s.

It follows a man who returns home following his father's death, only to find himself drawn back into what Netflix describes as a cursed and obsessive relationship.

The supernatural thriller blends psychological horror with demonic themes, exploring the boundaries between desire, guilt and forces that may be beyond its protagonist's control.

Lebanese director Said El Marouk directs the series, which stars Haya Abdel Salam, Yagoub Alfarhan and Layla Abdallah.

The cast also includes Hussein Al-Mansour, Asmahan Tawfiq, Ibrahim Al-Harbi, Ghada AlMulla, Hussain Al-Haddad, Abdullah AlBloushi and Sara Salah.

Netflix has classified the show as Kuwaiti and Middle Eastern horror, describing it as ominous, psychological and suspenseful.

The series arrives as part of the streaming platform's Halloween 2026 slate, alongside titles including Below, Haunted Hotel and Balaraw: Blood Island.

Its release also marks a relatively unusual addition to Arab television, where horror has traditionally been produced less frequently than drama, comedy and romance.

Netflix has increasingly invested in Gulf productions, including the Kuwaiti romantic comedy Honeymoonish, released in 2024.

Arab filmmakers have nevertheless returned to supernatural stories periodically over the decades.

Egyptian films such as Al-Ins wal-Jinn and Al-Ta'weeza became prominent early examples of the genre, while Tunisia's Dachra, released in 2018, brought North African folk horror to a wider audience.

Netflix itself has previously experimented with Arabic-language supernatural drama.

Its 2019 Jordanian series Jinn followed teenagers confronting supernatural forces in Petra and became controversial in Jordan over its portrayal of sex, drinking and drug use.

The series was Netflix's first Arabic-language original from the Middle East, with the platform saying at the time that it planned to continue investing in Arabic-language productions.

Netflix has since expanded its regional catalogue considerably, with global titles such as Stranger Things also attracting large audiences across the Middle East.

The company's Gulf output has meanwhile included a growing number of Kuwaiti series and films, with Kuwaiti drama already forming part of Netflix's Arabic catalogue before its more recent push into locally produced originals.

Obsess now brings that approach to horror, combining a recognisably Gulf setting with psychological and supernatural themes.
