Taxi (2026) – Iranian Comedy Series
Original title: تاکسی
Independent stories share one travelling setting: a taxi, its passengers and the everyday encounters they bring aboard.
Original premiere:
Latest available: Season 1 · Episode 5
Taxi brings Iranian comedy into a small, familiar space: a car shared for a journey. Directed by Hassan Nouri, the Persian-language series adapts Soroush Sehhat's book Taksi Savari into an episodic format, with a different passenger and an independent story in each instalment.
Produced by Majid Salehi for Sheyda, the series was announced for a 21 October 2026 premiere. Its opening episode is titled Derakht-e Sib. Available chapters are listed separately below, so you can check the current episode selection before choosing a journey.
From Taksi Savari to the screen
Soroush Sehhat and Iman Safaei wrote the screenplays, with Majid Salehi producing and Ali Mosaffa serving as artistic consultant. The adaptation of Taksi Savari connects Sehhat's book with a screen project organised around separate taxi journeys. Its common setting gives the collection a recognisable identity while allowing the people and situations to change.
For viewers choosing a series, the anthology format is the most useful distinction. It creates room to meet a fresh set of people with each ride. The announced first run comprises 12 episodes; that production plan should be read separately from the number of chapters currently available on Pardeh.
Story: a new passenger, a different journey
The premise begins with the encounters that happen between people sharing a taxi. Everyday situations and relationships provide the material for short, self-contained stories. The vehicle connects the episodes, while the people and circumstances change from one journey to the next.
For this format, an interesting question is how much a brief shared journey can reveal about the people taking it. The taxi gives each meeting a beginning and a destination, while the passenger provides a different starting point for the story. Watching what someone chooses to share with a fellow traveller offers a way into these everyday encounters.
The series cast includes Soroush Sehhat, Reza Attaran, Majid Salehi and Ali Mosaffa. The cast profiles below cover the series as a whole; they do not establish which performers appear in a particular episode.
