Yussef Benelbar voices Mohammed in the English dub of Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia, which streams on Crunchyroll and has aired its finale. He appeared in a Crunchyroll press junket interview with Cristina Vee for Something Genuine on September 16, 2026.
Yussef Benelbar joined the English dub cast of Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia, announced by Crunchyroll on July 17, 2026, as one of four leads alongside Cristina Vee, Marwa Elda, and Abi Kumar. The first two dubbed episodes streamed the next day, July 18. The anime had premiered in Japan on July 4, with Abel Gongora directing at Science SARU and Naoko Yamada as chief director.
Benelbar voices Mohammed. On September 16, 2026, he appeared with Vee, the English voice of Sitara, in a conversation that closed the second season of Something Genuine. The episode was recorded during a Crunchyroll press junket. The two discussed their personal connections to their characters, creative careers, and how their own backgrounds fed into their performances.
Across the two stories, the arc is narrow and consistent: a casting announcement in July, then an interview in September tied to the show's Crunchyroll run and aired finale. Both stories place the series outside the usual seasonal register, noting its Mongol Empire setting and Science SARU animation, but they give no production or performance details beyond the cast list, the platform, and the subjects Vee and Benelbar talked about. Nothing in either story addresses Benelbar's work outside this title.
