There’s a big boost of star power in Kan 11’s thriller “Tehran,” with Oscar-winning actress Glenn Close joining the second season of the award-winning series that reaches screens in Israel and the US on May 5.

In the first season, actress Niv Sultan stars as Tamar Rabinyan, a Mossad agent born in Iran and raised in Israel, who is sent back undercover to the Iranian capital to disable a nuclear reactor.

Now she appears to have even more missions to pull off, according to the 0:38 second trailer released Wednesday (see below).

“My life depends on the decisions you make,” says Glenn Close’s character to Rabinyan.

Two episodes will be released on May 5 on both Kan 11 and Apple TV+, followed by a new episode every Thursday, for a total of eight episodes through June 16.

In addition to Close and Sultan, the show stars Shaun Toub, Shervin Alenabi, Arash Marandi, and Shila Omm.
