Asre Jadid 3 is a 2022 Iranian reality-TV talent competition series hosted by Ehsan Alikhani and broadcast on Iran's Channel Three (Shabake Se), showcasing solo and group performers across a wide range of disciplines — from singing and acrobatics to beatboxing, parkour, and comedy — in its third and most celebrated season.
What is Asre Jadid 3 about?
Every episode of Asre Jadid Season Three brings a fresh wave of acts to the stage, each contestant — whether competing alone or as part of an ensemble — presenting a skill chosen from an unusually broad field: vocal performance, magic and illusion, martial arts demonstrations, gymnastics, rhythmic movement, stand-up comedy, mind-reading, mathematics, and more. A judging panel evaluates each performance in real time, and the most compelling acts advance through successive rounds. Filmed across a high-energy season that aired during the Nowruz holidays of 1401, the show celebrates the richness of talent across Iran's cities and regions, giving unknown performers a national platform and connecting audiences through shared wonder and entertainment.
Cast & crew
Ehsan Alikhani, one of Iranian television's most recognizable hosts, leads the show with a warm and crowd-pleasing style that has become central to the program's identity. The judging panel features Amin Hayaei, Zhale Sameti, Majid Esmaeili, and Karen Homayounfar — four veteran performers whose collective experience across acting, comedy, and the arts lends real authority to their verdicts.
Context & significance
For the Iranian diaspora, Asre Jadid (literally 'New Era') represents something rare: a home-produced reality format that can stand alongside global talent-show giants in production quality and emotional impact. Season Three, airing during Nowruz 1401, carries extra cultural weight — it arrived as a shared festive event, the kind of programming that families abroad sought out specifically to feel connected to the holiday spirit back home. The variety of disciplines on display, from traditional recitation to contemporary beatboxing, captures the breadth of Iranian youth culture in one place, making it equally compelling for first-generation viewers who remember the old arts and younger diaspora members discovering new ones.
