Netflix today announced a series order for The Madness, a conspiracy thriller series starring Emmy Award winner Colman Domingo (Zola, Euphoria, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom). In 2022, Domingo received an Emmy Award in the category of “Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series” on behalf of his character Ali in HBO’s Euphoria. He recently wrapped production for Higher Ground’s Rustin in which he will be playing the titular character.
The Madness Logline
In The Madness, media pundit Muncie Daniels (Colman Domingo) must fight for his innocence and his life after he stumbles upon a murder deep in the Poconos woods. As the walls close in, Muncie strives to reconnect with his estranged family – and his lost ideals – in order to survive.
The 8 episode limited series is created by Stephen Belber (O.G., The Laramie Project) who also serves as Co-Showrunner/Executive Producer with VJ Boyd (Justified, S.W.A.T.). Clément Virgo (Greenleaf) will direct and executive produce the first two and the concluding two episodes, and Quyen Tran (Maid) and Jessica Lowrey (Perry Mason) will each direct two middle episodes.
“The Madness is a fresh take on the conspiracy thriller — turning the genre on its head with its multi-layered characters, propulsive action and swift pace. We are proud to have such a powerhouse team assembled to bring this dynamic story to life for Netflix viewers around the world, and to continue producing great entertainment with team Chernin” says Peter Friedlander, Vice President of Scripted Series, Netflix, US and Canada.
