DESCRIPTION:
(from MGM+s press release, July 2026) MGM+, the premium linear and streaming service, announced today that it will be the U.S. home of Embassy, a high-stakes six-part action thriller starring Anna Kendrick, Sam Heughan and J.K. Simmons. Produced by AGC Television, Ascendant Fox and Turbine Studios, the series will join MGM+'s growing slate of premium original programming. The series will be available to MGM+ viewers in the U.S., Italy, Spain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, and Argentina. When armed mercenaries storm the U.S. Embassy in London, Layla (Kendrick), a sharp and resourceful American diplomat, 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, a British SAS soldier (Heughan) - in the tense hours before extraction. |
