Here is the official synopsis: "When terrorists seize a busy London Hospital and take the Prime Minister hostage during surgery, former Royal Marines medic turned ER doctor Jim Marchant (Madden) must fight his way through the building to save everyone inside. 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".
The show is co-produced by Lionsgate Television and 42 Management & Production, with Prime Video and Paramount+ handling distribution. Lionsgate holds a minority stake in 42. Hannah Blyth, head of content acquisition for TV at Prime Video UK/Ireland, acquired the project for Amazon.
Madden will also executive produce alongside 42's Ben Pugh and Ben Cavey. Chrissy Skinns will produce, with 42's Chris Kennedy co-producing.
Jane Wiseman, head of originals for Paramount+, had this to say about the project: "'Trauma' is exactly the kind of bold, global and propulsive storytelling we want Paramount+ audiences to experience. Geoff Bussetil has crafted a nail-biting thriller that puts our audience inside one impossible night with a hero played by the incredibly talented Richard Madden. We can't wait for viewers around the world to feel their pulse race alongside his".
Scott Herbst, EVP & head of scripted development for Lionsgate Television: "This premium global series has come together through exceptional creative collaboration and innovative dealmaking. Together with 42, we've assembled a best-in-class team of partners in Prime Video and Paramount+, and the result is a gripping, high-stakes series that showcases Geoff Bussetil's distinctive vision and Richard Madden's undeniable appeal. 'Trauma' demonstrates what’s possible when strong creative and distribution partners align behind ambitious, internationally resonant storytelling".
Cavey, 42’s managing director of international TV said: "Geoff Bussetil has crafted an absolute page turner of a thriller, which uniquely brings together the fast-paced energy of a hospital ER with a high-stakes siege thriller. It's hard to imagine a more perfect director than Daniel Syrkin, with his brilliant mastery of on-screen tension and complex drama – and Richard Madden was of course made to play this flawed but good-hearted hero, an ex-military man turned Doctor who is about to have the longest and most intense shift of his life".
