Latif and Bahar thought the hardest part of getting married was behind them. Then a child turns up in Latif's car, and the second season of Borzoo Niknejad's family comedy Dardesar'haye Azim proves the troubles were only warming up.

What is Dardesar'haye Azim 2 about?

Season two picks up with the couple's wedding plans once again in jeopardy. The mysterious child discovered in Latif's car raises awkward questions nobody has good answers for, while a fresh round of problems inside Bahar's family piles further obstacles onto an already shaky engagement. Farhan, who feels permanently indebted to Latif and Bahar for the help they once gave him, appoints himself their fixer — and, as anyone who watched the first season can guess, his well-meant interventions have a way of multiplying the chaos they were supposed to resolve. Across roughly 45-minute episodes, misunderstandings snowball, relatives take sides, and every solved problem seems to hatch two new ones.

About the cast

Veteran actor Mehdi Hashemi leads an ensemble stacked with familiar comic talent: Javad Ezati, another name comedy audiences will recognise, alongside Mehran Rajabi, Amir Ghafarmanesh, Ashkan Eshtiagh, Behshad Sharifian, Mohammad Mehdi Matlabi, and Parastou Golestani. The chemistry among this large ensemble, rather than any single performance, powers the show's humor.

Context & significance

This 2015 continuation picks up where the original Dardesar'haye Azim left off, returning to the characters and family entanglements that season one had set in motion. Director Borzoo Niknejad works squarely within the tradition of the Iranian family serial: multi-generational households, engagement negotiations, meddling relatives, and comedy mined from the gap between what characters intend and what they actually cause. For diaspora viewers, the show doubles as a time capsule of mid-2010s Iranian domestic life, its slang, and its social rituals.
