About Tehran

Tehran follows Mossad agent Tamar, portrayed by Niv Sultan, on covert missions to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Although the story is set in Iran, much of the series is filmed in Greece, which doubles for Middle Eastern locations, and features dialogue in Farsi.

The third season, which premiered in January 2026, experienced delays due to parallels with real-world events in Iran. All three seasons are available exclusively on Apple TV+. Season 4 continues the high-stakes missions and complex espionage storylines that have made the show a global hit.
