The long-delayed third season of the espionage thriller, Tehran, announced a January premiere date along with its first official trailer. This season, Hugh Laurie (House, The Night Manager) joins Niv Sultan’s (Long Distance, Heart of a Murderer) Tamar, a Mossad hacker-agent who infiltrates Tehran under a false identity. View the trailer below and first-look images below.
The official synopsis continues: “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. Sultan will reprise her widely acclaimed role as Mossad agent Tamar Rabinyan, alongside returning stars Shaun Toub and Shila Ommi, and new additions Hugh Laurie, Sasson Gabay, Bahar Pars and Pheonix Raei.”
Laurie is set to play Eric Peterson, a South African nuclear inspector; Raie (The Heights, Clickbait) portrays Ramin; Pars (A Man Called Ove, Nosejob) will play Shirin; and Gabay (Karaoke, Rambo III) will play Nissan.
