‘Here Come the Habibs,’ Australian Comedy About Lebanese Family, Gets Mexican Adaptation (EXCLUSIVE)
The initial television series, broadcast on Australia’s Channel 9, made history as the first popular commercial TV comedy to star a Middle Eastern family in prominent roles. This fish-out-of-water comedy tells the story of a Lebanese family who become wealthy through a lottery win and subsequently move into an affluent neighborhood. Their new surroundings contrast sharply with the more traditional, reserved neighbors they encounter.
