Tue Mar 25 08:40:00 UTC 2025: ## “Capital 7” Premieres Amidst Flood of Product Placements
**Tehran, Iran** – The premiere of the highly anticipated seventh season of the popular Iranian television series “Capital” (پایتخت ۷) has sparked controversy due to an overwhelming amount of product placement. According to Khabaronline news agency, the excessive advertising, a recurring issue in previous seasons (particularly season six), has already drawn criticism from viewers and even some creators.
Reports indicate that the first episode, airing for Nowruz 1404 (Iranian New Year), featured not only lengthy commercial breaks, but also integrated product placements within the show itself. Actors actively promoted various food and beverage items including fruit juices, milk, and rice. Furthermore, a pre-credit promotional segment even utilized the cast in a short skit promoting a sponsor.
The heavy reliance on product placement continues a trend that has faced previous criticism for disrupting the viewing experience.
