What will ‘The Madness’ be about?
Here’s the official, newly-released synopsis for the series:
Muncie Daniels is a political consultant-turned-TV pundit who may have lost his way in life. While on a work sabbatical in the Poconos to write the great American novel, Muncie finds himself the only witness to the murder of a well-known white supremacist, and 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.
“Everything about this conspiracy thriller excited me,” Domingo previously told Netflix’s Tudum about the show. “It was a unique protagonist, one that I had never seen or experienced. Someone who has very centrist beliefs, and now they’re being thrust into the world to really hard-core believe in something and to reexamine the people that they believed were possible enemies. You realize you have more in common with them than you thought you had in the beginning. I think it says a lot about who we are now and what we’re willing to do, and also to look at who’s really pulling the strings and for whose benefit.”
When does ‘The Madness’ premiere on Netflix?
Stephen Belber is the creator and co-showrunner. VJ Boyd is also co-showrunner and executive produces. Clément Virgo is the director and also executive produces. Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping and Kaitlin Dahill executive produce as well.
The eight-episode series drops Nov. 28 on Netflix.
