During the ceremony, prizes were awarded in both the television category and the cinema category.
On Tuesday night, only the television category nominees were announced, with comedy series "Abbott Elementary" receiving six nominations and drama series "Trust Sol" receiving five nominations. Next Wednesday, the nominations in the cinema category will be revealed.
In November last year, the first season of the series "Tehran" won the International Emmy Award for Best Drama Series. In the second season, which aired in May on Kan and Apple TV+, American actress Glenn Close joined the cast.
First broadcast in Israel in June 2021 and then on Apple TV last September, "Tehran" tells the story of a young Israeli intelligence agent on a secret mission for Israel's army in the Iranian capital. Critically acclaimed both inside and outside Israel, the series stars Niv Sultan as Tamar, the young Mossad agent, alongside actors Navid Negahban, Menashe Noy, and Shaun Toub.
