Producer of Israeli spy thriller ‘Tehran’ dies in Greece, cause unknown

Israeli producer Dana Eden, best known for co-creating the Emmy Award-winning TV series “Tehran,” died suddenly in Greece, Israeli public broadcaster KAN said on Monday. Eden, 52, was found dead in a hotel in the Greek capital of Athens, a Greek police official said, adding that initial signs suggested she committed suicide and foul play was not suspected. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because Greek police do not comment publicly on such cases.Jane said Eden was filming the show’s fourth season in Greece.“Dana was one of the leading figures in the Israeli television industry and played a central role in the creation and leadership of some of the company’s most famous and influential productions,” KAN said in a statement. It did not give a cause of death.In a statement, Eden’s production company, Donna and Shula Productions, sought to dispel rumors that the producer had been killed. “The production company wishes to clarify that rumors of a crime or state-motivated death are false and baseless,” the statement said.“Tehran,” which premiered in 2020, tells the story of Tamar Rabinyan, a young Mossad agent who is tasked with hacking and destroying an Iranian nuclear reactor so that the Israeli military can conduct airstrikes.
