Hugely popular, Tehran was renewed for a third season on February 8th 2023. So the big question is – Tehran season 3 – when is it coming to Apple TV+??
TEHRAN SEASON 3 RELEASE DATE
Tehran is a complicated show involving many characters, plots, and locations. Season two began filming in August 2021 and aired in May 2022, so it roughly took ten months from beginning to end.
We know that the third season is in production, so there is an excellent chance we could get new episodes by the end of 2023.
Apple TV+ has not made an official announcement, but we know that Tehran Season 3 is scheduled to air in 2023.
We don't have an exact date yet, but as soon as we know, we will update you!
Tehran Season 3: What Happens?
The second season featured Glenn Close, was a nail-biting thriller as Tamar found herself dragged back into the world of espionage.
With her actions having devasting consequences, Tamar decides to help Mossad take out Qasem Mohammadi, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
By the end of season two, everything has gone wrong (again), and Tamar finds herself alone and trapped in Iran with no one to trust.
So we head into season 3 with Tamar desperately needing to leave Iran and get herself back into the good graces of Mossad.
We know that Hugh Laurie (Roadkill) has been cast as Eric Peterson, a South African nuclear inspector. And that Niv Sultan, Shaun Toub, and Shila Ommi will all be back.
New additions to the cast for Tehran season 3 include Sasson Gabai, Bahar Pars, and Phoenix Raei.
