Moshe Zonder, co-creator of the upcoming Apple original drama series Tehran, is expanding his relationship with the tech giant’s Apple TV+.
He’s signed a multi-year first-look deal to create premium, scripted television projects for the streaming service, reports Deadline. Distributed by Cineflix Rights, Tehran is an eight-part series that features young Israeli actress Niv Sultan as Tamar Rabinyan, a Mossad computer hacker-agent undertaking her very first mission in Iran’s capital, which is also her place of birth.
Here’s how Tehran is described: Tasked with disabling an Iranian nuclear reactor, her mission has implications not just for the Middle East, but for the rest of the world. But 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.
