Casting News: Richard Madden Boards Paramount+ Medical Thriller, Da Vinci Code Sequel Series Adds 4, And More

Richard Madden is set to star in a new medical thriller series called Trauma, which is airing on Paramount+. The show is a spin-off of the Da Vinci Code movie, with a working title of Trauma. Madden, who is known for his roles in Bodyguard and Citadel, will play the character Jim Marchant, a former Royal Marines medic turned ER doctor.

The plot revolves around a terrorist attack on a busy London hospital, where the Prime Minister is taken hostage during surgery. Marchant must navigate through the hospital, floor by floor, to save everyone inside while also battling for power and survival. Madden will also serve as an executive producer for the series, alongside creator Geoff Bussetil and director Daniel Syrkin.

Filming for Trauma is set to begin in October, with a premiere date yet to be announced. However, it will be exclusively available on Paramount+ in all territories except the U.K. and Ireland, where it will premiere on Prime Video.
