Netflix’s new limited series The Madness is a thrilling story about Muncie Daniels, a former political consultant turned TV expert. Played by Emmy winner Colman Domingo, Daniels witnesses a shocking murder while taking a break in the Poconos.
Framed for the crime, he must clear his name, uncover a global plot, and protect his family, all while fighting lies in a world full of misinformation.
Premiering on November 28, the eight-episode series features a talented cast, including Marsha Stephanie Blake, Gabrielle Graham, and John Ortiz. Combining suspense, political drama, and family ties, The Madness offers gripping entertainment with powerful themes of truth and resilience.
Throughout the eight episodes, the story tackles the complexities of living in a “post-truth” world, where misinformation spreads quickly, and trust is hard to find. Daniels not only has to uncover a massive conspiracy but also reconnect with his estranged family and navigate emotional and personal challenges. The show masterfully blends intense drama, action, and social commentary, making it a standout thriller in Netflix’s lineup.
The series also benefits from its strong supporting cast, including Marsha Stephanie Blake as Elena Daniels, Muncie’s wife; Gabrielle Graham as Kallie; and John Ortiz as Franco Quinones. Guest stars like Bradley Whitford and Deon Cole bring additional depth and intrigue to the narrative.
