Apple confirmed today that veteran actor Hugh Laurie has joined the cast of Tehran, which has finally received a Season 3 release date alongside a Season 4 renewal. 

Tehran season 3 will debut on Apple TV on January 9, with one episode followed by new episodes every Friday through February 27. Check out a first look from the upcoming season above. 

Created by Dana Eden, Moshe Zonder, and Maor Kohn, written by Tony Saint and Simon Allen, and directed by Daniel Syrkin, Tehran season 3 will run eight episodes.

Laurie is Eric Peterson, a South African nuclear inspector. Laurie stars alongside Niv Sultan, who reprises her role as agent Tamar Rabinyan. Also returning are Shaun Toub and Shila Ommi. Other new additions are Sasson Gabai, Phoenix Raei and Bahar Pars.

The fourth season of Tehran is now in production. 

Tehran follows Tamar (Sultan), a Mossad hacker-agent who infiltrates Tehran under a false identity. After going rogue at the end of season two and reeling from the loss of her closest allies, in season three, Tamar must find a way to reinvent herself and win back the Mossad’s support if she is to survive.

A co-production between Apple TV and KAN 11, the Israeli public broadcaster, Tehran is executive produced by Eden and Shula Spiegel for Donna and Shula Productions; Alon Aranya for Paper Plane Productions; Julien Leroux for Paper Entertainment; Zonder, Syrkin, Omri Shenhar, Saint, Dari Shai Slutzky, and Tal Fraifeld and Ronny Perry for Kan.
