Tehran proved to be a big hit with both critics and viewers when it landed on Apple TV+ in 2020 – so much so that it’s attracted multi-academy award nominated actress Glenn Close for season 2.
The series stars Niv Sultan and Shaun Toub amongst others, and tells the story of Mossad hacker-agent Tamar Rabinyan (Sultan), who infiltrates Tehran under a false identity to destroy Iran’s nuclear reactor. When her mission fails, Tamar has to plan a dangerous operation.
Reportedly a big fan of the first season, Close joined the series after a new role was created for her.
