What is Raz Yek Parvande about?
In its opening episode, the series centers on a case of online fraud. An ordinary citizen receives a call informing them they have won a major prize — a classic social-engineering scheme that quickly draws law enforcement into the investigation. Across subsequent episodes, the series follows detectives and investigators as they work through a variety of criminal files, reconstructing events, interviewing witnesses, and piecing together evidence to close each case. The format emphasizes procedural authenticity, placing viewers alongside the investigation team as they navigate fraudulent schemes and criminal networks operating in contemporary Iranian society. Each standalone episode functions as a self-contained file, building an episodic portrait of modern crime.
Cast & crew
The series stars Afshin Sangchaap, Mehdi Amini Khah, Ramin Rastad, and Leila Boushehri in leading roles across the anthology. Director Shahram Ghadiri shapes the tone of the series, prioritizing procedural detail and naturalistic performances from a cast experienced in Iranian dramatic television. The ensemble shifts focus episode to episode in keeping with the anthology structure.
