What are the newest Iranian series of 2026?
The newest Iranian series of 2026 on K-Time start with Badnaam, a romance drama directed by Ehsan Sajadi that follows a three-generation love triangle — a forbidden love that serves none of the people caught inside it. With Hassan Pourshirazi, Amir Aghaei and Sina Mehrad, Badnaam is one of the year’s most-watched new series, rated 6.6 as of July 2026. Here is its watch page.
For something with a different pulse, Farar Az Tars (Escape from Fear) is a genuine experiment: an artificial-intelligence expert traps three people inside an escape-room-style game, and they have to solve the puzzles together to get out. Directed by Seyyed Mehdi Ahmadpanah, this mystery-reality hybrid is the highest-rated Iranian title on our list at 6.7, and it is ready to watch now.
For a family evening, Gole Sang is the warmer pick. Mahboobeh and Iraj finally buy a house after years of saving — a house that turns out to hide a great many secrets. Starring Mahtab Keramati and directed by Ebrahim Irajzad, this family drama sits at 6.2 on its film page. And if you want something darker, Hezartoo, with Amir Hossein Arman and Yekta Naser, traces the dangerous game of hidden power inside a quiet city — watch page here.
What are the most-watched international films of 2026 with Persian subtitles?
The most-watched international film of 2026 on K-Time is Pitfall — the single most-clicked title in the whole catalog over recent months. A man and his young son wander into a seemingly deserted town looking for work, and after a run of bad luck he finds himself trapped among the town’s captive population. This Canadian crime-fantasy thriller is rated 7.5 and streams with Persian subtitles, ready to watch now.
In the same register, Tuner follows a piano tuner who suffers from hyperacusis and turns out to have an unexpected gift for cracking safes. With Leo Woodall and Dustin Hoffman, it also holds a 7.5, and its watch page is live. For arthouse viewers, Couture stars Angelina Jolie as Maxine, an American filmmaker in Paris for Fashion Week as her life turns on a sudden crisis — a drama from Alice Winocour, rated 6.2, with Persian subtitles.
If you want a night of tension, Chum strands a newlywed couple on a Mediterranean yacht caught between a predatory shark and a psychopathic killer — a lean horror-thriller. And for mystery fans, the series 56 Days, with Dove Cameron and Avan Jogia, opens on a chance supermarket encounter and knots itself around a savagely murdered body that surfaces fifty-six days later; rated 6.5, with a watch page here.
Is there a new Turkish series too?
Yes — the newest Turkish series on this list is Daha 17, a coming-of-age drama about Aras, a seventeen-year-old who travels to Bodrum to search for his sister. This 2026 series streams with Persian subtitles and is ready to watch. But if you love long-running Turkish dizi, this is only the beginning: K-Time carries a deep library of Turkish series with Persian subtitles, including Uzak Sehir (Distant City), rated 7.1, whose page is also live.
