As the 2027 Ramadan season approaches, Algeria's television production scene is in full swing, raising persistent questions about casting standards. Behind the scenes, the selection process is increasingly influenced by factors other than skill, such as an actor's ability to secure funding or their personal connections. This shift toward commercial priorities often sidelines talented, experienced actors in favor of those with better networking capabilities. The industry also faces issues regarding wage inequality, lack of contractual transparency, and the implementation of restrictive exclusivity clauses that lack fair guarantees for the artist. Furthermore, many actors report a lack of professionalism in communication, often left waiting indefinitely after auditions without feedback. True professionalization of the sector requires the establishment of transparent rules and a commitment to meritocracy, ensuring that artists are treated with the professional respect they deserve.
