Prime Video drops fast-paced Deep Cover trailer with House of The Dragon and Black Mirror stars

Prime Video is all set to launch a star-studded action comedy that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Deep Cover, featuring Game Of Thrones and Troy star Sean Bean in a pivotal role, released its official trailer earlier this week.

Bean will portray an undercover cop who seeks the assistance of an improv comedy teacher to infiltrate London's underworld.

The 66-year-old actor will share screen space with actress Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays the teacher questioning her missed opportunities when she encounters Bean's character.

Howard is known for her roles as Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3 (2007), Claire Dearing in the Jurassic World series, Hilly Holbrook in The Help, and the Director in Disney+'s The Mandalorian.

enthusiasts might also recognise Howard from her memorable performance in the season three episode, Nosedive.

Her character Kat enlists two of her students to impersonate dangerous criminals to extract the information they need.

Kat's "students" are played by none other than Orlando Bloom of The Lord Of The Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean fame, and Nick Mohammed from The Martian and Douglas Is Cancelled.

Joining them are two stars from House Of The Dragon, Paddy Considine who plays King Viserys I Targaryen, and Sonoya Mizuno, known for her role as Mysaria "The White Worm".

Judging by the trailer, it's going to be a wild ride for Kat and her trio of "criminals".

The trailer kicks off with Kat, looking bewildered, teaching an improv class and emphasising the importance of "being in the moment".

Little does she know, Bean's enigmatic undercover cop is amongst the audience, and he later approaches her with a proposition: "I'm looking to work with someone just like you."

Kat mistakenly assumes he's a talent scout until he unveils his badge, clarifying that he is actually a "detective sergeant".

As the plot thickens and they face genuine mobsters, Mohammed's character is gripped by fear and exclaims, "I think I'm going to die!".

However, Bloom's persona is there to bolster his pal's courage, reassuring him: "No. You were so good. You were so committed. It was inspiring."

The question remains: How long can these rookie improv actors maintain their façade before things turn truly dangerous?

Deep Cover premieres on Thursday, June 12, on Prime Video.
