Jurassic World trilogy star Bryce Dallas Howard will lead the cast alongside Orlando Bloom (from The Lord of The Rings series) and Nick Mohammed (previously seen in Apple TV's Ted Lasso).

The story centers on a group of men and their impromptu attempts to neutralize London's criminal activities. Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald are producing Deep Cover alongside Colin Trevorrow, who is also working on the screenplay. The official synopsis of the movie, per IMDb, reads:

"Three improv actors are asked to go undercover by the police in London's criminal underworld."

When will Deep Cover be released?

On June 12, 2025, Deep Cover will exclusively premiere on Amazon Prime Video for users all around the world. In early 2024, Tom Kingsley came on board the project, followed by casting confirmation, and later in the same month, cameras started rolling in London.

What do we know about the plot of Deep Cover?

The story of Deep Cover revolves around a woman called Kat (played by Bryce Dallas Howard), who is portrayed as an improv actor cum teacher living in London. Her somewhat dynamic life gets a bigger push and is almost turned upside down when she is approached by a police officer, who works as an undercover agent (Sean Bean from Game of Thrones will play the part), to clean up the underworld crimes haunting the streets of London.

As matters progress, two of Kat's students join her and play their respective roles to bust open the activities of a dangerous criminal gang. The trailer of Deep Cover premiered last week, and as already evident from the first sneak peek, the film promises to bring intense action and thrill along with subtle elements of comedy. Any further details about the plot are being kept under wraps. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Orlando Bloom reportedly spoke highly of Nick Mohammed:

"You were so good. You committed. It was inspiring."
