Anha is a 2021 Iranian horror series directed by Mehdi Aghajani, produced by Parviz Parastui and written by Soroush Rouhbakhsh. With roughly 40-minute episodes, the show marks one of the rare ventures by Iranian television into sustained genre horror storytelling.
What is Anha about?
Anha follows a group of individuals drawn together by circumstances that quickly turn sinister. As strange and unsettling events begin to surround them, each character must confront fears that seem to reach beyond the explainable. The series builds dread gradually, using its ensemble cast to establish relationships and tensions before letting the horror take hold. Loyalties are tested, secrets surface, and the line between the real and the supernatural grows harder to find. Each episode ends on a note of unease, propelling viewers into the next without easy resolution.
Cast & crew
Director Mehdi Aghajani helms the series with a focus on slow-burn atmosphere. The ensemble includes Mohammad Bohrani and Linda Kiyani in central roles alongside Pardish Ahmadian, Mojtaba Pirzadeh, Hesam Mahmoudi, and Anahita Afshar, whose collective performances ground the supernatural tension in recognisable human drama.
Context & significance
Horror has long occupied a marginal position in mainstream Iranian cinema, so Anha stands out simply by committing to genre conventions — sustained dread, character-based stakes, and a willingness to leave questions unanswered. For diaspora viewers raised on Persian storytelling traditions, the series offers something genuinely unusual: a domestic production that takes the horror genre seriously as a vehicle for exploring fear, trust, and the uncanny. Produced by the acclaimed Parviz Parastui and scripted by Soroush Rouhbakhsh, Anha arrives with credible creative backing, making it worth attention from viewers curious about the edges of contemporary Iranian genre television.
