Tehran, the Israeli spy thriller that airs globally on Apple TV+, has become one of the most high-profile TV series to land a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement.
The series has been added to the list, which allows production to continue filming, despite the ongoing actors strike. See the updated full list below.
Other high-profile movies such as Dakton Fanning-fronted The Watchers and Sam Raimi-produced Don’t Move have also been granted waivers, as has hit faith series The Chosen.
It’s not entirely clear how Tehran has found itself on this list, given that AMPTP member Apple is involved but we hear it might have something to do with the series’ origins.
The series was created by Moshe Zonder, Dana Eden and Maor Kohn and is produced by Donna and Shula Productions, which was formed by Eden and Shula Spiegel. It initially aired on Israeli network Kan 11. Cineflix...

If you've been following along with the Apple TV+ series Tehran, today's episode was a big one.
We'll be talking to the central characters later today, but we previously spoke with one of the creators, Moshe Zonder, about the second season so far.
Here's what he had to say.
Streaming platforms have opened an entirely new window into the world, allowing shows like Tehran to experience worldwide success. What does an experience like mean to you as a creator?
For me, as a creator, the significance of the new streaming platforms is revolutionary. The exposure that Fauda received on Netflix and Tehran on Apple TV+ brought them worldwide success.
Now, I can sit in the study of my Tel Aviv apartment and write for a global audience about subjects that interest me, that are part of my life -- subjects about which I have something personal to say -- while...

“Once you’re in, there’s no way out,” according to the tag line for Israeli/U.S. co-production “Tehran.” Never has a truer word been written when it comes to the spy thriller’s nail-biting eight-episode first season, which concluded in July 2020. And now fans of the show are on the edge of their seats again on the eve of its sophomore season premiere this Friday, May 6 on Apple TV Plus. Will “Tehran” Season 2 infiltrate the 2022 Emmys?
Trust me, this show hooks you from the moment a commercial plane flying from Jordan to India is forced to make an emergency landing in Iran, launching a series of events in which undercover Mossad agents try desperately to stay one step ahead of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (Irgc) agents hunting them down. This is not your average run-of-the-mill spy thriller. Think “24” or” “Homeland,” but on steroids.
