Lionsgate Unveils Trailer for Murder at the Embassy, A Whodunit Set in Cairo Starring Mischa Barton

Dust off your magnifying glass—Mischa Barton is back as sharp-eyed sleuth Miranda Green in Murder at the Embassy, the stylish sequel to the surprise hit Invitation to Murder. Lionsgate has just dropped the official trailer, and it promises an international twist on the classic murder mystery formula, this time taking audiences to the scorching streets—and shadowy halls—of Cairo, Egypt.

 

Set inside the seemingly impenetrable British Embassy, the film follows Miranda Green as she’s called in to investigate a suspicious death within diplomatic walls. But just as she starts piecing things together, a second, more politically dangerous crime occurs—one that could ignite a global catastrophe if left unsolved. With war looming and tensions high, everyone is a suspect… and someone—or something—far more sinister may be pulling the strings.

 

Directed by Stephen Shimek with a script by Mark Brennan (based on a story by Alexandra Davison), the film blends Agatha Christie-style intrigue with high-stakes international suspense. Alongside Barton, the film stars Mido Hamada, Kojo Attah, Nell Barlow, Raha Rahbari, Antonia Bernath, and Richard Dillane, each playing potential suspects and suspicious allies.

 

If Invitation to Murder flirted with cozy mystery vibes, Murder at the Embassy steps fully into espionage-laced thriller territory, all while keeping the comedic edge that made the original so enjoyable.

 

Set for a November 14, 2025 theatrical release, this globetrotting mystery is shaping up to be a perfect mix of murder, mirth, and mayhem—with Mischa Barton’s Miranda Green once again at the center of the chaos.
