Apple TV+ has just released a new first-look image for the hotly anticipated second season of their hit thriller series Tehran, giving us a glimpse at the drama and conflict ahead of the premiere. Tehran season 2 is set to premiere this May.
The new image gives us our first look at a high-profile new addition to the series, Academy Award nominee Glenn Close. She is shown sitting across a table from series star Niv Sultan, who plays Tamar Rabinyan, a computer hacker and Israeli Mossad agent. Close will play Marjan Montazeri, a British woman living in Tehran. The series also stars Shaun Toub and Shervin Alenabi.
This is not Close‘s first run on television, however. She previously starred in the FX series The Shield, for a season-long run, for which she received an Emmy nomination. That stint on television also lead to the creation of her own series, FX’s Damages, for which she won two Emmys. Tehran will be her third television role, certainly a good omen considering her brief but well-awarded run as a television actor.
