Tehran Season 3 Debuts on Apple TV+: Hugh Laurie Joins Cast in Highly Anticipated Return

Tehran Season 3 Premieres on Apple TV+: A Thrilling Return with New Twists

Apple TV+ has officially launched the much-anticipated third season of its acclaimed international thriller series, Tehran. The premiere episode is available today, with subsequent episodes releasing every Friday until February 27. This season introduces esteemed actor Hugh Laurie in the role of a South African nuclear inspector, adding a fresh dynamic to the series.

Tehran has garnered a dedicated global audience, and its renewal for a fourth season underscores its popularity. However, fans have faced a considerable wait of over three years since the conclusion of the second season. The delay was primarily due to the sensitive nature of the show’s content, which parallels ongoing real-world events in the Middle East. Despite the continued complexities in the region, Apple has decided to proceed with the release, acknowledging the show’s significance and the audience’s anticipation.

The production of the third season was completed more than four years ago. While the Israeli network KAN 11, a co-production partner, aired the season domestically, the international release was postponed. Now, global audiences can finally continue the journey of Tamar, portrayed by Niv Sultan. In this season, Tamar, a Mossad hacker-agent, grapples with the repercussions of her actions from the previous season’s finale. She faces the challenge of rebuilding trust within the Mossad and navigating the perilous landscape of espionage.

For those new to the series or looking to revisit previous episodes, the first two seasons of Tehran are available for streaming on Apple TV+. New subscribers can take advantage of a seven-day free trial to explore this and other content on the platform.

The release of Tehran Season 3 marks the beginning of Apple TV+’s robust 2026 content lineup. In the coming weeks, viewers can look forward to:

– January 16: The return of Idris Elba in the second season of the thriller Hijack.
