Netflix has announced the order for a limited series starring Emmy Award winner Colman Domingo.

The series is a conspiracy thriller centered around media pundit Muncie Daniels (Domingo). Daniels “must fight for his innocence and his life after he stumbles upon a murder deep in the Poconos woods. As the walls close in, Muncie strives to reconnect with his estranged family – and his lost ideals – in order to survive.”

The new series is a product of the first-look deal between Netflix and Chernin Entertainment.

“The Madness is a fresh take on the conspiracy thriller — turning the genre on its head with its multi-layered characters, propulsive action and swift pace,” said Peter Friedlander, Vice President of Scripted Series, Netflix, U.S. 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.”

The series creator Stephen Belber also functions as executive producer and showrunner.
