Nicole Wallace Joins Josh Heuston In Amazon MGM Romance ‘Throttled’

Spanish-American actress Nicole Wallace has landed the female lead opposite Off Campus‘ Josh Heuston in Throttled, Amazon MGM’s romance based on the first book in Lauren Asher’s bestselling Dirty Air series.

Wallace will play Maya Alatorre, an ambitious young woman who joins her brother on the racing circuit and falls into a forbidden, high-stakes romance with his ruthless teammate and fiercest racing rival, Noah Slade, played by Heuston.

Clearly, Wallace is a talent that Amazon MGM is high on. Not only does she lead their romantic drama trilogy Culpables — she also stars in their upcoming series Postcards from Italy, co-produced with Gaumont Italia, as well as their upcoming Spanish drama series The House of Spirits.

Amazon MGM announced its acquisition of Throttled for streaming earlier this month.

Nzingha Stewart is directing from a script by Melissa Osborne. Max Handelman and Elizabeth Banks of Brownstone Productions are producing along with Ethea Entertainment’s Jennifer Gibgot and Andrew Panay, as well as Garrett Grant. Alison Small of Brownstone Productions and Asher are exec producing.

Wallace is represented by TFC Management, Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern, and Triana Management.
