Richard Madden has landed the lead in another new television show!
The 40-year-old actor will be starring in the medical action-thriller Trauma (working title), which will debut on Paramount+, from writer and creator Geoff Bussetil.
What is Trauma about?
When terrorists seize a busy London Hospital and take the Prime Minister hostage during surgery, former Royal Marines medic turned ER doctor Jim Marchant (Madden) must fight his way through the building to save everyone inside. As he takes the hospital floor by floor, the balance of power shifts—and the building becomes a deadly battle of strategy, nerve and survival.
The upcoming series will be a co-production between Paramount+ and Prime Video, brokered by Lionsgate Television and 42.
“Trauma is exactly the kind of bold, global and propulsive storytelling we want Paramount+ audiences to experience,” Jane Wiseman, Head of Originals for Paramount+, shared in a statement. “Geoff Bussetil has crafted a nail-biting thriller that puts our audience inside one impossible night with a hero played by the incredibly talented Richard Madden. We can’t wait for viewers around the world to feel their pulse racing alongside his.”
“This premium global series has come together through exceptional creative collaboration and innovative dealmaking,” Scott Herbst, EVP & Head of Scripted Development, Lionsgate Television, adds. “Together with 42, we’ve assembled a best-in-class team of partners in Prime Video and Paramount+, and the result is a gripping, high-stakes series that showcases Geoff Bussetil‘s distinctive vision and Richard Madden‘s undeniable appeal. Trauma demonstrates what’s possible when strong creative and distribution partners align behind ambitious, internationally resonant storytelling.”
Earlier this year, Richard reprised his role in the Prime Video series Citadel, alongside Priyanka Chopra-Jonas and Stanley Tucci. He’ll next be seen in the upcoming series Trinity for Netflix, starring opposite Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
