Finding Ola is directed by Hadi El Bagoury, starring Hend Sabry who will also be the Executive Producer for the first time, and her company SALAM PROD., in cooperation with Partner Pro & Executive Producer Amin El Masri. The show is influenced by the main characters of I want to get married - Ayza Atgawez series, which was written by Ghada Abd El Aal. Finding Ola is written by Maha El Wazir and Ghada Abd El Aal.

The production of the series commenced in late January 2021 in various locations in Cairo, ensuring health and safety measures for all staff members.

Finding Ola reflects Netflixs commitment to investing in Arabic content and supporting Arab female film icons. Finding Ola is a new Egyptian drama show from the Middle East, in addition to Abla Fahita: Drama Queen series which features Abla Fahita, Caro, and Body which is set to be released in 2021.
