Hugh Laurie will star in the next season of Apple TV‘s global espionage thriller Tehran.
Also renewed for a fourth season, Tehran unveiled a first-look at the upcoming season three on Thursday. Created by Dana Eden, Moshe Zonder, and Maor Kohn, written by Tony Saint and Simon Allen, and directed by Daniel Syrkin, the series will drop weekly from Jan. 9 through Feb. 27 on the platform.
Season three of Tehran stars Laurie as Eric Peterson, a South African nuclear inspector. He stars alongside Niv Sultan, who reprises her role as agent Tamar Rabinyan, as well as regulars Shaun Toub and Shila Ommi and new additions Sasson Gabai, Phoenix Raei, and Bahar Pars.
Tehran follows Tamar (Sultan), a Mossad hacker-agent who infiltrates Tehran under a false identity. After going rogue at the end of season two and reeling from the loss of her closest allies, in season three, Tamar must find a way to reinvent herself and win back the Mossad’s support if she is to survive.
The fourth season of the show is now in production, with seasons one and two streaming globally on Apple TV.
A co-production between Apple TV and KAN 11, the Israeli public broadcaster, Tehran is executive produced by Eden and Shula Spiegel for Donna and Shula Productions; Alon Aranya for Paper Plane Productions; Julien Leroux for Paper Entertainment; Zonder, Syrkin, Omri Shenhar, Saint, Dari Shai Slutzky, and Tal Fraifeld and Ronny Perry for Kan.
