MGM+ has picked up Embassy, a new six-episode thriller starring Anna Kendrick, Sam Heughan, and J.K. Simmons. The project adds a notable cast to a tense story centered on a crisis at the US Embassy in London.
According to the announcement, Embassy follows events during an invasion at the embassy, giving the series an international setting and a built-in sense of urgency. The London backdrop and embassy premise suggest a political thriller framework, while the limited six-episode format points to a tightly contained story.
Embassy was created and written by Rom Lotan. With Kendrick, Heughan, and Simmons attached, the MGM+ series arrives with recognizable talent in front of the camera as the platform expands its scripted lineup.
The series has been described as a new thriller for MGM+, though no additional release details were included in the brief announcement. For now, Embassy stands out as an upcoming London-set suspense series built around a major embassy invasion and a high-profile lead cast.
