A short video published in the Apple TV app on Wednesday offers a sneak peek at upcoming Apple TV+ series "Tehran," which is due to land on the streaming service on Sept. 25.

In a two-minute short, show lead Niv Sultan, co-creator and director Daniel Syrkin and executive producer Moshe Zonder give a brief overview of the series. Sprinkled throughout are enticing clips and snippets that walk viewers through the show's arc.

Sultan plays Tamar Rabinian, a Mossad agent tasked with planting a virus in Tehran's anti-aircraft defense system. Going into the field undercover, Rabinian's mission is quickly compromised. "Tehran" follows the secret agent as she runs for her life while attempting to complete the job.

"She keeps trying to fulfill her mission in many kinds of ways," Sultan said of her character. "She's a badass girl."

Rabinian forges allegiances with underground operators and dissidents in Iran, but it is unclear who can be trusted.

"You start asking yourself, Who's the good guy and who's the bad guy?'" Zonder said. "And you want to know the end of the story."

Apple secured rights to the espionage thriller in June.

The first three episodes of "Tehran" will debut on Apple TV+ this Friday, with subsequent installments set for release every week.

    In before the "ATV+ doesn't have anything good/I'm canceling after the free trial/Oprah sucks" crowd: This show looks like it's gonna be great.

    A Share Sheet feature to the ATV+ app would be very helpful. Just checked the Mac app to see if there was a link to this I could send to someone and there's nothing.

    Agreed, looking forward to it. Hoping it’s more like Homeland and less like Run Lola Run...intrigue over action. We’ll see. 

    There is a share sheet in the ATV app, I've used it to send shows to family. It's not limited to ATV+ content, any content in the ATV app.

    I was going to cancel but I'm not now. This show does look like it's going to be good. There are also a few nature documentaries coming up I want to see as well. The main show I'm waiting for is Masters of the Air. Band of Brothers and The Pacific were great so I'm sure Masters of the Air will be too. I'm still surprised HBO let this one go and Apple picked it up.

    Well, yeah but I was talking about the Mac app... I wanted to send the exact clip in question here *within* the Tehran show page, and there's no option to do so. I just checked again and you can share the *show*, which is not what I wanted. But not a big deal, just noticed that when I wanted to share that new clip with someone who was already excited for the show — like a trailer on YouTube.
