🎭 Deep Cover (2025): Cast, Plot, Release Date & Everything to Know About Prime Video’s Crime-Comedy

🎭 DEEP COVER – Comedy, Crime & Improvisation Collide in Prime Video’s Wildest Ride Yet

Release Date: June 12, 2025Streaming On: Amazon Prime Video

What happens when improv meets the criminal underworld? You get Deep Cover – a whip-smart, high-stakes action comedy that turns London's gangland upside down with a little help from some very confused actors. Premiering June 12 exclusively on Prime Video, this film fuses undercover grit with off-the-cuff laughs in a way only the British could pull off.

🎬 Plot: "Yes, and..." to the Underworld

Bryce Dallas Howard stars as Kat, a down-on-her-luck improv teacher teetering on the edge of obscurity. Just as she begins to question her life choices, a grizzled undercover cop played by Sean Bean hands her an offer she can't refuse: use her acting skills to pose as a gangster and help infiltrate a dangerous criminal network.

Instead of going it alone, Kat ropes in her two most eager (and least criminal-looking) students — played by Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed — for the performance of their lives. But the trio quickly find themselves deep in over their heads, forced to improvise their way through mob meetings, weapons deals, and terrifying crime bosses… all while never breaking character.

🤵🌪️ A Cast Built for Chaos

The film’s cast brings the perfect blend of gravitas and comedic chops:

• Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World) as Kat, the reluctant leader

• Orlando Bloom (The Lord of the Rings) as a charming yet clueless wannabe actor

• Nick Mohammed (Ted Lasso) as the anxious, awkward sidekick

• Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) as the tough-as-nails cop with a soft spot for drama

• Ian McShane, Paddy Considine, and Sonoya Mizuno round out the criminal elite

Directed by Tom Kingsley (Ghosts, Stath Lets Flats), and written by Colin Trevorrow, Derek Connolly, Ben Ashenden, and Alexander Owen, Deep Cover pairs razor-sharp British comedy with slick, stylish action.

💣 Tone: Think Hot Fuzz Meets Tropic Thunder

From shootouts and mistaken identities to laugh-out-loud rehearsals disguised as gangland rituals, Deep Cover walks a wild tightrope. Expect fast-paced dialogue, perfectly executed comic timing, and a surprising amount of emotional heart buried beneath all the chaos.

And with Daniel Pemberton (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) scoring the film, even the soundtrack keeps the energy dialed to eleven.
