In his latest series, Colman Domingo plays a very public figure on the run for a crime he didn’t commit.
On Thursday, Netflix released the trailer for the Stephen Belber-created conspiracy thriller series The Madness, all eight episodes premiering Nov. 28 on the streamer, starring the Academy Award nominee stars as political consultant-turned-TV pundit Muncie Daniels.
“I think I’m getting framed for murder,” he says in the trailer, which shows Muncie discovering a dead body in the woods before two gunmen chase him.
Following his work on CNN, Muncie is quickly recognized by strangers in hospital waiting rooms and the streets of New York City, with one nefarious group showing up outside his home.
“They’re going after my family,” he tells Bradley Whitford in one scene. “So I need you to extract me from the equation.”
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, Alison 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.
