- Nicole Wallace has landed the female lead in Amazon MGM's 'Throttled,' playing ambitious young woman Maya Alatorre, who falls into a forbidden romance with her brother's ruthless teammate Noah Slade (played by Josh Heuston).
- Amazon MGM signed Wallace to an exclusive talent-holding deal following the success of their Spanish-language romantic drama trilogy 'Culpables,' in which she starred.
- Amazon MGM also has Wallace starring in the upcoming 'Postcards from Italy' (co-produced with Gaumont Italia) and the upcoming Spanish drama series 'The House of Spirits.'
- 'Throttled' is based on the first book in Lauren Asher's bestselling 'Dirty Air' series, which Amazon MGM announced acquiring for streaming earlier this month.
- Nzingha Stewart is directing from a script by Melissa Osborne, with Max Handelman and Elizabeth Banks producing through Brownstone Productions alongside Ethea Entertainment's Jennifer Gibgot and Andrew Panay; Garrett Grant is also producing, with Alison Small and Asher exec producing.
Why it matters: Amazon MGM is leveraging its freshly-signed 'Culpables' star to front an English-language adaptation of Lauren Asher's bestselling 'Dirty Air' book franchise, with established producers Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman attached — expanding the studio's romance pipeline beyond its Spanish-language hits and moving a popular book series into its first streaming incarnation.
