Trinity

by

Once again, Jed Mercurio has returned to the writing studio, this time preparing a fresh television series featuring Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Richard Madden as its main stars.

Titled “Trinity,” this eight-part thriller is set to premiere on Netflix. The story centers around Commander Katherine Decker, portrayed by Mbatha-Raw, a brave female naval officer who had previously served as the second-in-command on the USS Kansas, a formidable nuclear submarine and one of the most lethal weapons on our planet. She becomes embroiled with Webb Preston, played by Madden, in a position of power within the Department of Defense.

Webb stands apart from typical politicians due to his technological expertise, making his innovative ideas and goals perceived as challenging, not just in one aspect, but in multiple ways.

But soon, Katherine discovers Webb may be at the heart of a dangerous conspiracy.

In simpler terms, the person who created “Line of Duty” will write and oversee the production of the new series, also acting as its manager. This is their first joint project with Madden since they worked together on “Bodyguard” back in 2018.

In his current work, Madden is involved with the Amazon Prime Video film “Killer Heat,” starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley, and also the TV show “Citadel,” set to release its second season in 2026.

More recently, Mbatha-Raw graced the screens in the second installment of the Apple TV+ show Surface, broadcast from February to April this year. Additionally, she has been featured in shows like Loki, The Girl Before, and Netflix’s Lift.

Recently, Mercurio wrote the ITV series titled “Breathtaking,” which focuses on the daily struggles of NHS workers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, presenting a gripping medical drama.

Although he’s widely recognized by many for his work on Line of Duty that concluded in 2021, rumors persist about its possible comeback.

According to earlier reports, filming for the project was expected to start next year when Martin Compston, Vicky McClure, and Adrian Dunbar had coordinated their schedules, but Compston recently suggested that it might not happen as soon as initially thought.

Compston indicated that, given the actors’ hectic schedules, a new season would likely not occur for some time.

In conversation with The Sun, Compston shared: “We often discuss potential scenarios and timelines, but everyone has their own commitments right now. Unfortunately, any action seems quite distant.
