‘The Madness’ Teaser: Colman Domingo Is Framed For Murder In Netflix Political Thriller Series

Colman Domingo is on the run after being framed for murder in the first look at The Madness.

In the teaser for his upcoming Netflix political thriller series, all eight episodes premiering Nov. 28 on the streamer, the Academy Award nominee stars as political consultant-turned-TV pundit Muncie Daniels, who may have lost his way in life.

“I’m telling you, it was a setup. Now, I’m being questioned. I got a bullseye on my back. Do you see what they’re doing to me?” says Domingo in a voiceover as he walks into the frame of a surveillance camera. “I feel like I can’t leave. They are gonna pin all this on you.”

Created by Stephen Belber, The Madness follows Muncie on a work sabbatical in the Poconos to write the great American novel, where he finds himself the only witness to the murder of a well-known white supremacist. Now, he’s being framed for the crime.

Muncie is forced to go on the run in a desperate fight to clear his name and unravel a global conspiracy before time runs out. Along the way, he’ll reconnect with his family, find unlikely allies and fight against disinformation in a post-truth age.

The series also stars Marsha Stephanie Blake, Gabrielle Graham, John Ortiz, Tamsin Topolski and TJ Mixson, along with guest stars Deon Cole, Hamish Allan-Headley, Ennis Esmer, Allison Wright, Bradley Whitford and Stephen McKinley Henderson.

Belber serves as an EP, along with VJ Boyd, director Clement Virgo and Chernin Entertainment’s Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping and Kaitlin Dahill.
