Netflix is developing a new drama thriller series titled Trinity from Bodyguard creator Jed Mercurio, with Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Loki) and Richard Madden (Game of Thrones) leading the cast.
Trinity follows “a heroic female naval officer who becomes involved with the outwardly charismatic Secretary of Defense, only to discover that he may be at the heart of a dangerous conspiracy.”
Mbatha-Raw will play Commander Katherine Decker. She serves as second-in-command on the USS Kansas, a nuclear submarine and one of the deadliest weapons on Earth. Meanwhile, Madden will play Secretary of Defense Webb Preston; with a technology background that makes him different from most politicians, Webb’s innovation and purpose are seen as a threat in more ways than one.
Mercurio will serve as the series’ showrunner, writer and executive producer. This reunites him with Madden after they worked on Bodyguard, where Madden led the series as an army veteran and police sergeant assigned to the Home Secretary’s protection detail.
Mbatha-Raw is known for the Marvel Disney+ series Loki, The Morning Show and currently stars in Apple TV+’s psychological thriller series Surface.
Executive producers for Trinity include Jimmy Mulville for Hat Trick Mercurio and Wendy Mericle. Michael Cuesta will direct and executive produce the first and second episodes of the 20th Television-produced series.
