Youssef is the co-creator, executive producer and star of #1 HAPPY FAMILY USA, the A24 and Cairo Cowboy-produced adult animated series, which premiered on Prime Video in April 2025. The series follows the maniacally upbeat Husseins – the most patriotic, peaceful, and most definitely-not-suspicious Muslim family in post-9/11 “Amreeka”; Youssef lends his voice to father, “Hussein” and son, “Rumi”, alongside a cast including Alia Shawkat, Mandy Moore, Chris Redd, Whitmer Thomas, and Kieran Culkin.
He also currently stars in the HBO Original Film MOUNTAINHEAD from Succession’s Jesse Armstrong, alongside Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman and Cory Michael Smith. Youssef made his feature performance debut in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Oscar-winning POOR THINGS opposite Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, and Willem Dafoe.
He recently appeared as a guest star in the Apple TV+’s award winning series THE STUDIO from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Behind the camera, he earned Emmy and DGA nominations for directing THE BEAR episode “Honeydew.” His second HBO special, RAMY YOUSSEF: MORE FEELINGS, produced by A24 and
his production company Cairo Cowboy, earned nominations for 2025 Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice, WGA and Peabody Awards.
He is best known for creating, directing and starring in Hulu’s Peabody-winning RAMY, which earned him a Golden Globe award and multiple Emmy nominations. Youssef also co-created Netflix’s MO, the award-winning series starring Mo Amer, which debuted its second season in 2025.
