Niv Sultan Headlines New Israeli Thriller as 'Tehran' Season 3 Looms
Sultan's ascent follows her acclaimed turn in "Tehran," a series fusing spy thrills with cultural depth. Details on her next ventures remain under wraps for now.
Rising Israeli star Niv Sultan, celebrated for her gripping performance in Apple TV+'s espionage hit "Tehran," is branching out with a lead role in the upcoming crime drama "Murder at the Dead Sea," produced by Keshet International.
The series premiered on December 22, 2025, on Israel's Keshet 12 channel, featuring Sultan as a sharp young detective piecing together a murder puzzle in a locked-down hotel during the COVID pandemic at the iconic Dead Sea.
Billed as a tense whodunit blending isolation, mystery, and high-stakes suspense, it represents Sultan's first major starring gig in a homegrown Israeli production since her global breakthrough.
Hot on its heels, "Tehran" fans are gearing up for Season 3, dropping January 9, 2026, on Apple TV+, where Sultan reprises her Emmy-nominated role as Mossad operative Tamar Rabinyan. The new season welcomes British star Hugh Laurie, promising more pulse-pounding intrigue.
Adding to the excitement, Apple has greenlit Season 4, cementing Sultan's place in international stardom.
