Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Lift, Surface and Richard Madden (Bodyguard, Eternals) have been set as the leads of the new Netflix drama series Trinity.

The eight-episode series 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. 

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.

Jed Mercurio (Bodyguard) is the show’s 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 of the 20th Television-produced series.
