According to Deadline, the producer of Apple TV’s show, Tehran, Dana Eden (Magpie, Nothing Expect 34 Paintings), has died unexpectedly while filming in Greece. Eden was found in her Athens hotel room last Sunday by her brother. The cause of death has not been determined as of yet, but the local police have ordered an autopsy. Preliminary reports believe it appeared to be death by suicide. The investigation continues as the police collect footage from the hotel’s security cameras and gather testimony from hotel staff.

The local authorities have been addressing rumors over social media that the cause of Eden’s death was by Iranian agents. Deadline reports Donna and Shula Productions, which is the company behind the show, has made a statement that it “wants to make clear that the rumors of the death being criminal or nationalistic are not true and baseless.”

Deadline mentioned that an Israeli public broadcaster, Kan, said in a statement: “We mourn the passing of our colleague and partner in a long line of productions, series, and programs at the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation – Dana Eden. Dana was among the senior figures in Israel’s television industry and played a central role in creating and leading some of the corporation’s most prominent and influential productions. Her professional and personal legacy will continue to shape Israeli television for many years to come.”

According to Deadline,  Tehran was filming season four in Athens. It follows an Israeli agent who is a Jewish Iranian in Iran’s capital. The series stars Niv Sultan (Murder at the Dead Sea, Matchmaking 2), Glenn Close (Wake Up Dead Man, Guardians of the Galaxy) and Hugh Laurie (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire).  Season three can now be viewed on Apple TV after being delayed for months due to the Israel-Hamas War.

Deadline reports Apple TV issues a statement: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Dana Eden, an extraordinary producer and creative partner whose passion for storytelling made a lasting impact on audiences around the world. Dana’s vision, dedication and leadership were instrumental in shaping Tehran into the globally acclaimed series it is today. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Dana’s family, friends and colleagues. She will be remembered not only for her remarkable contributions to television, but for the warmth, artistry and commitment she brought to every project and every collaboration.”
