With the overwhelming global success of In Treatment, we are delighted to bring the format to new regions, allowing more viewers to resonate with the show’s themes of fostering mental health, demystifying professional therapy and articulation of feelings. We look forward to the Arabic adaptation of In Treatment resonating with viewers in the Middle East and North Africa.”

Abdulraheem Alnuaimi, acting general manager of Abu Dhabi Media, said: “We are pleased to develop our partnership with Dori Media Group to provide valuable content and to enhance Abu Dhabi TV Network’s role as a leading media production provider in the MENA region that meets the aspirations of the entire Arab audience.
