We chat with Tehran stars ShaunToub & Shila Ommi about Faraz and Naahid's arcs in season of the thrilling AppleTVPlus series, and what can be expected from tomorrow's finale:
This week, the second season of Apple TV+’s Tehran wraps up with its explosive season finale. To celebrate the occasion, Screen Rant got to chat with its stars Shaun Toub and Shila Ommi, who play Faraz and Naahid Kamali in the suspenseful spy thriller.
Shila, let's talk about your character for a second. In the first season, she goes through the wringer and the second season doesn't make things any easier for her. She goes through quite the progression as well. Truly, it feels like she almost can't trust anybody. Can you talk to me about your character's progression this season?
Absolutely. Now look, Glenn Close plays Marjan and I love the scenes with Shila. Shaun, once your character comes in and your character's involved, I'm on the edge of my seat every single time the three of them are in a room. There's this great dinner scene that the three of your characters have, and I could not take my eyes off the screen for a second. Talk to me a little bit about Glenn Close and what she brings to the role of Marjan.
Shaun Toub: Well, as you know what happened in episode six, this was amazing. I got to tell you as an audience, I was watching it actually. I was watching it going,"Oh my God." Even though I saw the script and everything and it was incredible to watch it. Faraz has a lot to do, he doesn't know exactly what's going to happen to him because we really don't know what's going to happen to him. Maybe because Mossad is trying to turn him.
Shila Ommi: I tell you the DNA of Tehran is a fictional character-driven thriller about identity that explores our personal choices, motivations, and loyalties. As you said, this second season of Tehran illustrates Iran's social divide and the dual set of rules that are in place for the rich and everyone else. But the fact is that Iranian people love the west Iranians and Israelis. There are no problems between them at all.
Shila Ommi: And I've been very heavily involved in Persian theater so for someone who has such a strong theater background to be in Athens and to go to the different, incredible theaters that were created thousands of years ago. I went to Epidaurus. Epidaurus is a theater that was created on the lands of a hospital because they believed that if you are sick, that one way to heal yourself is to heal yourself through the catharsis that comes from watching great plays.
Shaun Toub: He is amazing, because not only does he direct, but he also does other things. I'm amazed at what he does. I've been in the business for 35 years, and I've never seen a director being able to direct eight episodes back to back. It's amazing what he does.
