Recasting the Band Members of Rivo With International Celebrities

via IMDb

The second season of Rivo is finally out on WATCH IT, and we couldn’t be happier to see its incredible cast on our screens again! The plot follows Mariam as she investigates the rumours about her father’s past and his involvement with Rivo, one of the most popular bands of the 1990s. The new episodes continue with Mariam and the band’s exciting lives and drama. But allow us to imagine how Rivo would turn out if played by international celebs!

Marwan plays the keyboard in Rivo and is also the friendliest member of the group, frequently taking care of the rest of the team. Sedky Sakhr played this role giftedly, and we think Brooklyn 99’s star can also be an incredible Marwan!

2- Shady Ashraf (Adam Driver)

Shady is Rivo’s lead vocalist, with a strong presence that immediately captures everyone’s attention. Cairokee’s Amir Eid surprised us with his performance as Shady, and we think he looks a lot like Hollywood’s Adam Driver. But we are not so sure about the Oscar winner’s singing skills!

3- Mariam Hassan (Lily James)

Mariam is the director of the movie Rivo, which revolves around the band. While she was engaged in the first season, Mariam’s love life remained unstable! The rising actress, Rakeen Saad, impresses us with every character she portrays, especially her role as Mariam. However, we think Lily James would bring this character to life in an American version!

4- Yasmin Rahmy (Nina Dobrev)

Yasmin is a friend of the band and Shady’s complicated love interest. The talented actress and comedian, Sara Abdel Rahman, plays the character of Yasmin, and we think Vampire Diaries’ sweetheart, Nina Dobrev, could also make an excellent Yasmin!

5- Maged George (Kit Harington)

The band’s drummer and go-to friend they all count on is Maged. This character is played incredibly by Tamer Hashim, and we can’t help but imagine Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington portraying this role in our reimagined version of Rivo!
