Dana Eden, the acclaimed Israeli producer and co-creator of the Apple TV+ spy thriller series “Tehran,” has died at age 52 during production of the show’s fourth season. She was found unresponsive in her hotel room in Athens, Greece, on Sunday, February 15, 2026 (or late Sunday, per some reports), where she had been overseeing filming. Her brother discovered her after repeated failed attempts to contact her. Greek police have ruled out foul play, with initial indications pointing to suicide, though an autopsy was ordered to confirm the cause of death. Authorities emphasized there was no suspicion of criminal involvement, and her production company, Dana and Shula Productions, explicitly dismissed circulating rumors of any nationalist or criminal links as unfounded. The news was confirmed by Israel’s public broadcaster Kan, which stated: “We mourn the passing of our colleague and partner in a long series of productions, series, and programs at the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation.” Kan noted that Eden had traveled to Greece specifically to supervise the “complex and significant production” of Tehran’s fourth season. Eden, along with collaborators like Shula Spiegel, was instrumental in numerous acclaimed Israeli projects, but she gained international recognition for Tehran, the Emmy-winning espionage drama that premiered in 2020 and streams on Apple TV+. Tributes, including from actor Hugh Laurie, have highlighted her sudden loss as a “terrible thing” for the industry and her colleagues. Helena Smith for The Guardian:
