Richard Madden is set to lead Trauma, a new hostage-thriller series for Prime Video UK and Paramount+. He will play Jim Marchant, a former Royal Marines medic who is now an A&E doctor and must confront terrorists after they seize a London hospital, putting him back in an action-focused role reminiscent of Bodyguard.

The story centres on the Prime Minister being taken hostage while undergoing surgery, leaving Marchant to fight through the hospital to protect patients and staff. The series has been announced as a joint Prime Video UK and Paramount+ production, though further details such as a release date and supporting cast have not been disclosed.
