For us, one of the most anticipated movies of 2027 will be Throttled. It’s another moment where Amazon has made sure that we’re never cancelling our Prime Video membership with all of the book options that they are securing.
Nicole Wallace, Josh Heuston, and Julio Peña leading the cast of Throttled was something that we were definitely excited about. Now Mia McKenna-Bruce has been added to the cast as Sophie Mitchell, who fans of the series know leads the second book Collided.
Who is Sophie Mitchell? Well her father, James Mitchell is big in the racing world. He raised her alone as her mother wanted to save underdeveloped countries instead. She moved from California to Italy when she was five years old and loves it.
Sophie is a fan favorite.
