When an Iranian series lands an 8.8, people notice. Vahshiوحشی — is the most acclaimed new Iranian series of 2025, and it comes from one of the country’s sharpest filmmakers: Houman Seyyedi, whose features have run the festival circuit for years.

What it’s about

It opens on a question that sets the whole tone — is this man a thug, or a worker? From there, Vahshi tracks the descent of an ordinary man into a world he can’t climb back out of: a dark, intense crime thriller about pressure, class, and how quickly a life comes apart. Javad Ezzati — one of Iran’s most watchable leads — anchors it, with Negar Javaherian, Ehsan Amani, and Alireza Sanifar.

Why it’s worth your time

Seyyedi directs crime the way the best Iranian cinema does social drama: the violence is never the point, the squeeze is. It’s the rare genre series that diaspora viewers and festival-watchers agree on — propulsive enough to binge, serious enough to stay with you.
