What happened
Apple announced that Tehran’s third season will arrive on Apple TV+ on Friday, January 9, launching with a single episode and continuing with weekly releases until February 27. The show, which centers on a Mossad agent working undercover in Tehran, completed production on season three in 2023 but saw its Apple TV+ release delayed for years after the outbreak of the Israel–Hamas war. The full season previously aired on Israel’s Kan 11 network in December 2024. For the upcoming Apple TV+ rollout, the cast for season three expands to include Hugh Laurie alongside series lead Niv Sultan. Apple also says a fourth season is in production, suggesting new episodes could arrive in subsequent years if the schedule holds.
