Richard Madden, known for his role as Robb Stark in Game of Thrones, is joining the cast of an upcoming action thriller titled "Trauma." He will portray a character who transitioned from military service as a Royal Marines medic into emergency medicine, only to face his greatest test when armed extremists seize control of a London hospital whilst the Prime Minister undergoes surgery. The narrative follows his character's strategic efforts to exploit his dual expertise in combat and medicine to survive the crisis and regain command of the situation.

What distinguishes this production is an unusual streaming arrangement in which Prime Video will distribute the series across the UK and Ireland, whilst Paramount+ handles all remaining territories worldwide. This cross-platform partnership, facilitated by Lionsgate Television and 42 Management & Production, represents a noteworthy collaboration between two competing streaming services. The casting underscores the sustained visibility of Game of Thrones performers across premium streaming productions.
