'Tehran' Trailer: A Computer Hacker Goes Rogue In The New Apple TV+ Thriller Series

When most upcoming television shows and movies were delayed because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Apple TV+ found a silver lining. As the vast majority of its slate has been pushed to 2021, Apple acquired two shows in the interim to fill the gap — one of which is “Tehran.”

The show also holds the distinction of being Apple TV+’s first piece of non-English content, as “Tehran” dialogue is mainly Hebrew and Farsi. The show follows green Mossad agent Tamar Rabinyan on her very first mission. The mission fails and Tamar goes rogue. She falls in love with a pro-democracy activist all while Iranian authorities frantically try to hunt her down.

Take a look at the official summary for “Tehran” below:

Tehran is the story of Tamar Rabinyan, a Mossad computer hacker-agent undertaking her very first mission in the heart of a hostile and menacing city, which also happens to be the place of her birth. Tasked with disabling an Iranian nuclear reactor, her mission has implications not just for the Middle East, but for the entire world order. When the Mossad mission fails, Tamar goes rogue in Tehran as she rediscovers her Iranian roots and becomes romantically entwined with a pro-democracy activist. Tamar’s soul-searching leads her to become even more conflicted about her mission, while the tension mounts as Iranian authorities tighten the net in their desperate search to locate her and her Mossad colleagues.
