Anna Kendrick and J.K. Simmons are embarking on a new mission: The Pitch Perfect alum is teaming up with the Whiplash actor in Embassy , a geopolitical thriller that is not yet attached to a streamer or network.

The series will follow Layla (Kendrick), a sharp and resourceful American diplomat who faces an impossible choice after armed mercenaries storm the U.S. Embassy in London. She must decide whether to “protect the U.S. Ambassador (Simmons) or follow his orders to exfiltrate a high value asset being held at the embassy,” the logline reads. “As a larger conspiracy unfolds, Layla must rely on her instincts — and the reluctant help of her ex-fiancé, a British SAS soldier — in the tense hours before extraction.” Related Stories
