What to Know About 'Deep Cover,' Orlando Bloom’s New Crime-Comedy Movie

From elf warrior to pirate heartthrob, Orlando Bloom has built a career playing characters that toe the line between heroic and unexpected. Whether it was his breakout role as Legolas in The Lord of the Rings or the charming blacksmith-turned-swashbuckler Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean, Bloom has always had a knack for bringing a bit of flair to the action genre. Now, he’s returning to the screen with Deep Cover, a quirky action comedy that trades swords and fantasy for improv classes and questionable disguises.

Premiering June 12 on Prime Video, Deep Cover gives Bloom a fresh role in a fast-paced film that combines crime, comedy, and chaos. Keep on reading to discover everything you need to know about the movie, including more on its plot, actors in the cast, and when it's coming to streaming.

Deep Cover Plot 

Deep Cover follows Kat (played by Bryce Dallas Howard), an improv comedy teacher who starts to wonder if her best days are behind her. Just when she’s questioning her career, an undercover cop (Sean Bean) offers her a bizarre but irresistible opportunity: to go undercover in London’s criminal underworld. She’s not going in alone, though—Kat enlists two of her students, played by Orlando Bloom and Ted Lasso’s Nick Mohammed, to pose as dangerous criminals and infiltrate the city’s gang scene.

Deep Cover Cast 

The cast brings together a mix of talent: Orlando Bloom stars as one of Kat’s improv students turned reluctant undercover agent. Bryce Dallas Howard is Kat, the improv teacher with a knack for improvising off-stage too. Nick Mohammed plays the second student pulled into the undercover scheme. Sean Bean is on screen as the mysterious cop who pulls all the strings.

Behind the scenes, the film is directed by Ghosts and Stath Lets Flats alum Tom Kingsley and written by a team including Derek Connolly, Colin Trevorrow, Ben Ashenden, and Alexander Owen. Producers include Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World), Walter F. Parkes, and Laurie MacDonald.

Deep Cover has a runtime of one hour and 40 minutes and premieres June 12 exclusively on Prime Video, with worldwide availability. Whether you're in it for the action, the comedy, or just want to see Orlando Bloom in a very different kind of role, this one’s worth adding to your watchlist.
