“Good Girls” is getting an Arabic version, marking the first international adaptation of the Universal Television show about three moms embarking on a life of crime.

Titled “Lunch Box,” the Arabic redo features Egyptian stars Ghada Adel, Jamila Awad and Fadwa Abed in the main roles as three women — two sisters and their friend — who, faced with sudden economic hardship, decide to pull an unlikely heist.

Egyptian actors Ahmed Wafik, Hesham Ismail and rapper-actor Shahin also star.




Just like in the U.S. original, they presume this will improve their lives, only to find themselves spiraling deeper into the criminal world.

The 30-episode series is being produced by NBCUniversal Formats, which is part of Universal International Studios, and Dubai-and Cairo-based production company S Productions.

“Lunch Box” marks their second collaboration after previously teaming up on the Arabic adaptation of comedy drama series “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce,” which was also the first international redo of that show.
