#1 Happy Family USA (2025)

#1 Happy Family USA is a 2025 animated comedy series that brings a refreshing take on cultural identity and generational dynamics. Set in the early 2000s, the show follows a Muslim-American family trying to navigate life in the United States while balancing their cultural heritage with modern American values. The series is created by Pam Brady and Ramy Youssef, who bring humor and insight to the themes of assimilation, family, and identity.

The story centers around the Hussein family, led by Ramy Youssef’s character, Hussein Hussein, a man trying to hold his family together while adjusting to changing societal norms. Alongside him is Mona Hussein, played by Alia Shawkat, who brings strength and sarcasm to her role as the mother.
