Colman Domingo takes the spotlight in The Madness, Netflix’s upcoming political thriller series set to premiere on Nov. 28. In this tense eight-episode drama, Domingo stars as Muncie Daniels, a political consultant turned TV pundit who finds himself entangled in a deadly conspiracy.

The teaser hints at a gripping journey for Muncie, who begins as a man on sabbatical in the Poconos, hoping to write his big novel. But things take a dark turn when he witnesses the murder of a known white supremacist and quickly becomes the prime suspect. “I’m telling you, it was a setup,” Muncie insists, his voiceover capturing the paranoia and urgency of a man on the run.

As Muncie scrambles to clear his name, he is drawn into a web of political intrigue, forced to face powerful adversaries and reconnect with his family. He allies with unexpected figures and confronts the dangers of disinformation in a world teetering on post-truth.

Alongside Domingo, the cast includes Marsha Stephanie Blake, Gabrielle Graham, John Ortiz, and Tamsin Topolski, with guest stars Deon Cole, Bradley Whitford, and others adding depth to the suspense-filled story. The series was created by Stephen Belber and executive produced by Belber, VJ Boyd, director Clement Virgo, and Chernin Entertainment.
