The trailer for Richard Madden’s political thriller Bodyguard was released for American viewers, and it will have you on the edge of your seat!
Richard Madden may have been the King of the North and our Prince Charming at one point, but in his latest project, Bodyguard, he’s stepping into the world of modern political intrigue. Madden plays David Budd, a veteran serving as a Specialist Protection Officer for the Royalty and Specialist Branch of London’s Metropolitan Police Service. After being assigned to guard the Home Secretary, he becomes torn between duty and personal conviction.
Bodyguard has already released in the United Kingdom after a great deal of success, and Netflix is now distributing it to American audiences. The streamer dropped the trailer for American viewers today, and this is definitely one series you won’t want to miss.
Bodyguard premiered on the BBC back in August, and received a great deal of praise. The show has been hailed as utterly gripping, and Richard Madden kept audiences guessing as the volatile David Budd, while Keeley Hawes stole the screen as Home Secretary Julia Montague.
It’s a series that will keep you guessing until the very end, and if this trailer is any indication, it’s going to be a non-stop thrill ride. This role also feels like a new one for Richard Madden, and we’re excited to see him play a character that we’re not totally sure we can trust.
If you live in the UK, Bodyguard has already premiered, but American audiences can catch this explosive series when it releases on Netflix on October 24.
