Sam Heughan Joins Anna Kendrick & J.K. Simmons In ‘Embassy’

Sam Heughan is joining Anna Kendrick and J.K. Simmons in Embassy, the geo-political action thriller series.

The Outlander star will play a British SAS soldier in the six part-series, which is from AGC Television, Ascendant Fox and Turbine Studios.

Christian Alvart (Case 39, Dogs of Berlin) is also joining the series as director for two episodes, with John Strickland handling the rest.

The series follows Layla (Kendrick), a sharp and resourceful American diplomat, who faces an impossible choice to protect the U.S. Ambassador (Simmons) or follow his orders to exfiltrate a high value asset when armed mercenaries storm the U.S. Embassy in London. She’s forced to rely on her instincts and the reluctant help of her battle-hardened ex-fiancé, Connor Wright (Heughan), in the tense hours before extraction.
