When armed mercenaries storm the U.S. embassy in London, sharp and resourceful American diplomat Layla (Kendrick) faces an impossible choice: protect the U.S. Ambassador (Simmons) or follow his orders to exfiltrate a high value asset being held at the embassy. As a larger conspiracy unfolds, Layla must rely on her instincts - and the reluctant help of her ex-fiancé (Heughan), a British SAS soldier - in the tense hours before extraction.
Rom Lotan created the drama, with John Strickland and Christian Alvart directing. Lotan and Strickland executive produce with Hester Ruoff, Bart Ruspoli, Matt Mitchell, Daniel Hetzer, Jakob Neuhausser, Justin Thomson, David Tanner, Stuart Ford, Lourdes Diaz and Miguel A. Palos Jr. AGC Television, Ascendant Fox and Turbine Studios produce.
"Embassy is an exciting addition to the MGM+ slate - a high-octane six-part thriller with an exceptional cast and creative team," said Michael Wright, Global Head of MGM+. "Anna Kendrick, Sam Heughan, and J.K. Simmons, along with series creator Rom Lotan and directors John Strickland and Christian Alvart, have created a cinematic thriller that reinforces MGM+ as a destination for classic storytelling for a modern audience."
