Badnaam — meaning "Disgraced" or "Infamous" in Persian — is a 2026 Iranian drama-romance series directed by Ehsan Sajadi, streaming in Persian on K-Time. Built around a forbidden love that spans three generations, it arrives as one of the more quietly ambitious Iranian series of its year.
What is Badnaam about?
At the center of Badnaam is a love triangle that does not belong to one lifetime. Three generations of the same family find themselves bound together by a desire that none of them asked for and none of them can escape. The forbidden nature of this love is not simply a private wound — it ripples outward, shaping choices and consequences across time. Director Ehsan Sajadi keeps the focus on the weight of what is felt rather than what is said, letting the architecture of three interlocked lives carry the emotional gravity. Each generation adds a new angle to the triangle, and none of the angles resolve cleanly. The title — Badnaam, disgraced — signals from the first episode that someone, at some point, will pay a price for loving the wrong person.
About the cast
Ehsan Sajadi directs an ensemble that draws from several generations of Iranian screen talent. Hassan Pourshirazi and Amir Aghaei anchor the senior generation, while Sina Mehrad, Laya Zanganeh, Setayesh RajaeiNia, Solmaz Ghani, Behafarid Ghafarian, and Mehrdad Ziaei fill out the wider family. The 53-minute episode runtime gives each of them space to work.
Context & significance
Multi-generational romance is a long-standing thread in Iranian drama — the idea that love does not die with one generation but instead passes forward, often with complications attached. Badnaam sits squarely in this tradition. For diaspora viewers who grew up with Iranian family dynamics and the unspoken rules around who one is allowed to love, the series offers a mirror that is familiar without being sentimental. Watching in the original Persian — hearing the weight of certain words and silences in the language they were written for — is part of what makes a series like this land differently than it would in translation.
