Maryam Zaree was born in Evin Prison in the Iranian capital, Tehran. In 1985, her mother, Nargess Eskandari-Grünberg, fled with her to Germany to escape political persecution. From the age of two, Zaree grew up in Frankfurt am Main. From 2004 to 2008, she studied acting at the Konrad Wolf University of Film and Television in Potsdam-Babelsberg. While still a student, she participated in various film and television productions. Zaree rose to prominence through her lead role in the feature film *Shahada*, which screened in the Official Competition at the Berlinale in 2010 and received multiple awards at international festivals. For her performance, she received—among other honors—the Best Leading Performance award at the Monterrey Film Festival in Mexico, as well as a Special Mention at the Ghent International Film Festival. She went on to play other lead roles in films such as *Abgebrannt*, *Marry Me*, and the international co-production *I Am Not Him* by Tayfun Pirselimoğlu. On German television, she appeared from 2015 to 2019 as forensic pathologist Nasrin Reza in the Berlin-based *Tatort* series. In the series *4 Blocks*, she played the role of Khalila. In addition to her work in front of the camera, Zaree has also appeared as a guest actress at various theaters, including the Schauspielhaus Hannover, the Maxim Gorki Theater, the Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz, and the Ballhaus Naunynstraße. Zaree also works as a writer and director. With her first play, *Kluge Gefühle*, she won the Authors' Prize at the Heidelberg Play Market in 2017, as well as the Advancement Award of the Schiller Memorial Prize in 2019. Also in 2019, she was awarded a writer-in-residence position at London’s Royal Court Theatre.
