Dua Lipa to Star in Amazon’s Persian Mythology Fantasy Series

Dua Lipa — yes, the same global pop sensation who made the whole world dance to “Levitating” — is about to take on a very different stage. The latest buzz in the entertainment world is that she has secretly signed on to play the lead in an upcoming Amazon Prime fantasy series rooted in the rich, mystical world of Persian mythology. And no, this is not a practice run.

Sources close to the production indicate this is not just a cameo or musical spot; this is a dramatic turn for the singer. Think old kingdoms, fierce female fighters, enchanted artifacts, and destiny within the stars. Dua is set to play Anahita, a fierce and divine warrior inspired by the Persian goddess of water, fertility, and wisdom. The show, reportedly titled The Fire and the Falcon, is already being whispered about as Amazon’s answer to House of the Dragon, but with way more mystique, color, and culture.

Filming is said to have quietly begun in a secret location in Turkey, with some scenes rumored to be set in the stunning desert landscapes of Iran — although those claims haven’t been officially confirmed. Still, a few leaked pictures of Dua in elaborate costumes — flowing silks, gold headpieces, and smoky eyeliner — have already set the internet ablaze. Fans can’t get enough of her dramatic transformation. From London club goddess to ancient Persian royalty? It’s giving serving face and swordplay.

Insiders say the series blends real Persian legends with modern fantasy, combining jinn folklore, the Shahnameh (the epic Persian book of kings), and a plotline involving time-traveling oracles and demon kings. The showrunner is an award-winning Iranian-British filmmaker, and the writing team reportedly includes historians and fantasy writers to keep the mythology authentic yet binge-worthy. Let’s just say Dua’s stepping into an ancient world — but the drama is very 2025.

What’s even more fascinating is that Dua has allegedly been training in martial arts and sword fighting for the past few months. One source said, “She’s all in. This isn’t a vanity project. She’s doing 4 a.m. workouts, learning Farsi phrases, and even helped with the original soundtrack.” Yes, you read that right — she’s not only starring in the show, but she might be singing for it too. A mystical, ancient-sounding Dua Lipa soundtrack? It’s already giving chills.

Rumor has it the show will premiere with a two-part pilot in early 2026, and Amazon is sparing no expense. Budget? Reportedly, over $150 million for the first season. Sets are being built from scratch, including a massive recreation of an ancient city that looks like something out of a dream, with giant winged statues, blue tile palaces, and a moonlit lake that’s central to the story.

Meanwhile, the cast is being kept under wraps, but sources say a few big names from Bollywood and European cinema have joined the ensemble. One insider hinted at an “internationally beloved Indian actress” playing Dua’s rival — a shadow sorceress from the underworld who is both seductive and deadly. The girl power in this show is apparently off the charts.

Fans are already losing it online. Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit are overflowing with wild theories, costume predictions, and meme edits. Some are calling it the “Persian Witcher,” while others are dubbing it “Dua’s Eternals redemption arc” — cheeky, but valid.

What’s clear is this: Dua Lipa is not here to play it safe. First pop star, then fashion icon, and now a full-on fantasy heroine in a world never seen before on mainstream Western TV? It’s bold, unexpected, and exactly the kind of star power shake-up we live for. Whether she’s battling ancient curses or stealing scenes with just a look, we know one thing — this is going to be legendary.

And if the rumors are true that the trailer will drop by the end of the year… buckle up. Persian myths, warrior queens, and Dua Lipa in a role that could change her career forever? The fantasy binge of the decade might just be on its way.
