"Outlander" star Sam Heughan has signed on to star as a British SAS soldier in the upcoming six-part action thriller series "Embassy". The show also stars Anna Kendrick and J.K. Simmons, and is created and written by Rom Lotan. Production is set to begin next month in London and Cologne, with AGC Television financing and distributing internationally.
"Embassy" 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.
Christian Alvart ("Case 39", "Dogs of Berlin") will direct two episodes, while John Strickland ("The Rig") will helm the rest. Lotan also executive produces alongside Strickland, Ascendant Fox's Hester Ruoff, Bart Ruspoli and Matt Mitchell; Turbine's Daniel Hetzer, Jakob Neuhausser, Justin Thomson and David Tanner; and AGC's Stuart Ford, Lourdes Diaz and Miguel A. Palos Jr.
Heughan can next be seen in the eighth and final season of "Outlander", which premieres on March 6, 2026.
