The Madness: Colman Domingo Stars in New Conspiracy Thriller - Netflix Tudum
- We all go a little mad sometimes.Feb. 8, 2023
Emmy winner Colman Domingo is ready to go a little mad in his next project: a new conspiracy thriller called simply The Madness.
Domingo — known for his turns in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Zola and Fear the Walking Dead — will play media pundit Muncie Daniels, who is forced to prove his innocence (and fight for his life) after he stumbles upon a murder deep in the wooded Pocono mountains. As everything around him falls apart, Muncie strives to reconnect with his estranged family and his lost ideals in order to survive.
Created by Stephen Belber (O.G., The Laramie Project), who will serve as co-showrunner alongside VJ Boyd (Justified, S.W.A.T.), The Madness is an eight-episode limited series as part of Chernin Entertainment’s first look deal at Netflix. Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping and Kaitlin Dahill will serve as executive producers, as will Clément Virgo (Greenleaf), who will also direct the first two and last two episodes. Quyen Tran (Maid) and Jessica Lowrey (Perry Mason) will each direct two episodes as well.
“The Madness is a fresh take on the conspiracy thriller — turning the genre on its head with its multilayered characters, propulsive action and swift pace,” says Peter Friedlander, Netflix vice president of scripted series for the US and Canada. “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.”
Adds Topping, the president of Chernin Entertainment, “Stephen Belber and VJ Boyd thrive in creating suspense-driven emotional stories that connect with broad audiences. We look forward to seeing them bring this timely conspiracy thriller to life and to continue our partnership with Netflix.”
