Colman Domingo unravels a conspiracy in Netflix’s ‘The Madness’ trailer
Academy Award nominee Colman Domingo is getting his much-deserved first TV lead role in “The Madness,” a limited series coming to Netflix later this month. On Thursday, the streaming service released a trailer for the political thriller, which is likely to be Netflix’s big hit of Thanksgiving weekend.
Domingo stars as Muncie Daniels, a former activist who has traded making a difference in the world for the comfortable life of a TV pundit. While he’s staying at a cabin in the Pennsylvania woods, he witnesses the murder of a notorious white supremacist, whose assassins come after him, too, but he escapes. The murder gets pinned on him, though. As he fights to clear his name, he unravels a global conspiracy and reconnects with what’s important in his life: his family, and the truth.
