Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Richard Madden has landed the lead role in the new series Trauma.
Paramount+ announced in a press release Wednesday that Madden, 40, will star in the new medical action-thriller from Lionsgate Television and 42 Management & Production.
Madden will play Jim Marchant, a Royal Marines medic-turned-ER doctor who must fight his way through the busy London hospital where he works after terrorists take the prime minister hostage during surgery.
"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," an official synopsis reads.
