Espionage thriller “Tehran,” created by “Fauda” writer Moshe Zonder and “Magpie” writer Omri Shenhar, will have a second season on Apple TV Plus.

The thriller, created by Israel’s Kan network, was the first non-English series released on Apple’s streaming service after debuting in June 2020 in Israel.

The series, in Hebrew and Persian, tells the story of Mossad agent Tamar Rabinyan (Niv Sultan) on an undercover mission in the Iranian capital. Sultan is joined by cast members Shaun Toub, Navid Negahban, Shervin Alenabi, Liraz Charhi and Menashe Noy.

Apple TV Plus recently went live with Israeli-produced drama “Losing Alice,” the psychological thriller from the creator, writer and director Sigal Avin, starring Ayelet Zurer.
