The firm said rumours suggesting her death was the result of a criminal act or connected to her nationality were \u201cincorrect and unfounded\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe ask that Dana\u2019s dignity and the privacy of her loved ones be respected,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
The first three seasons of Tehran, which focused on a Mossad agent working undercover in the Iranian capital, were filmed in Athens.<\/p>\n
Shooting of the fourth season was delayed after the attacks carried out by Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent bombardments of Gaza.<\/p>\n
The show has become one of the most internationally sold Israeli productions and won the Emmy Award for Best Drama Series in 2021.<\/p>\n
Giant bet<\/p>\n
In 2023, Eden and co-producer Shula Spiegel told the podcast Outside the Frame how they had made a giant bet on Tehran.<\/p>\n
Drawn to Athens after Eden took a family holiday there and decided it would make a good stand-in for the Iranian capital, the pair applied for and won Greek government funding aimed at drawing international TV and film productions to the country.<\/p>\n
But then the coronavirus pandemic hit, delaying on-site production – and their funding – by months.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mortgaged my house to produce Tehran and complete the filming,\u201d Eden told the podcast, saying she and Spiegel were \u201cboth crazy\u201d, \u201cirresponsibly optimistic\u201d and took \u201cinsane risks\u201d.<\/p>\n
But the bet paid off when the pair signed with Apple TV in what she said was \u201ca deal on a scale unheard of for an Israeli series until then\u201d.<\/p>\n
The series, which stars Niv Sultan, has also featured actors Glenn Close and Hugh Laurie.<\/p>\n
Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar posted on social media that Eden was \u201cone of the most prominent and influential producers in the Israeli television industry\u201d.<\/p>\n
