Gugu Mbatha-Raw & Richard Madden to Star in Netflix Drama Series TRINITY

Gugu Mbatha-Raw ("Belle", "Surface") and Richard Madden ("Game of Thrones", "Bodyguard") have signed on to lead Netflix's upcoming new eight-episode series "Trinity". The show is created by Jed Mercurio ("Bodyguard") and is produced by Disney's 20th Television.

"Trinity" follows valiant naval officer Commander Katherine Decker (Mbatha-Raw), second-in-command on the USS Kansas, a nuclear submarine, whose newfound connection with Secretary of Defense Webb Preston (Madden) catapults her into a world of political intrigue. 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.

Marcia Gay Harden ("So Help Me Todd") also joined the show's cast as Margaret Vandenburg, the CEO and matriarch of the Vandenburg business empire, who has been instrumental in her prominent family amassing significant political ties.

The cast also includes JD Pardo ("Mayans M.C."), Bruce Greenwood ("Fall of the House of Usher"), Robert Wisdow ("Terminal List"), Kirk Acevedo ("Band of Brothers"), Ben Cotton ("The Night Agent"), James Remar ("Dexter"), Jason Ralph ("The Marvelous Mrs Maisel") and Mark O'Brien ("Ready or Not").

Mercurio serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer. Executive producers include Jimmy Mulville for Hat Trick Mercurio and Wendy Mericle. Michael Cuesta will direct and executive produce the first and second episodes.

Mbatha-Raw can next be seen on the big screen in the British crime thriller "Fuze", alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James and Sam Worthington, and "The Woman in Cabin 10" opposite Keira Knightley.
