by

Dana Eden, the producer of the popular Israeli series “Tehran,” died in her Athens hotel room on Sunday, according to Greek police. She was 52 years old, and authorities are investigating her death as a potential suicide.

Eden was filming the fourth season of an Apple TV+ spy show in Athens, Greece. The series centers on a Mossad agent attempting to go undercover within the Iranian government. When she stopped responding to messages from her brother, he found her body, according to Israeli news source Kan. The Greek newspaper Ta Nea reported she had bruises on her neck and lower body.

Donna and Shula Productions, the company that created “Tehran,” has stated that the recent death was not the result of any crime or political motives. A spokesperson for the company told the Times of Israel that rumors suggesting foul play are false and without merit.

We ask the media and the public to avoid sharing unverified information and to be respectful and considerate. This is a very difficult time for Dana’s loved ones, and we want to protect her memory and personal life.

Leaders in Israeli broadcasting shared their grief over the loss. They described Dana as a key figure in Israeli television, instrumental in developing and leading many of the country’s most successful and impactful programs.

Before working on “Tehran,” Dana Eden contributed to shows like “Saving the Wildlife,” “She Has It,” and “Shakshouka.” The third season of “Tehran” launched on Apple TV+ on January 9th, after being postponed from its original July release date due to the eleven-day conflict between Israel and Iran.

Her sudden death has shocked colleagues, fans, and the Israeli entertainment industry.
