What is The Madness about?
The official synopsis of The Madness season 1 reads:
“After a media pundit stumbles upon a dead body deep in the Poconos woods, he finds himself framed for the murder of a notorious white supremacist.”
The series will depict the story of a media pundit named Muncie Daniels, who is accused of the murder of a white supremacist. Daniels’ identity as a Black man makes the charge all the more sensational and potentially divisive.
As he seeks to clear his name, he must try to reconnect with his estranged family. At the same time, he must also attempt to retrieve the ideals he started with when he began work in the media but later abandoned.
When discussing his character in The Madness season 1, Domingo tells Tudum that Daniels is “definitely an activist” in his younger and more idealistic days. However, as he progressed in the media business, his idealism waned, and he started to find peace with compromises. The actor remarked:
"He’s a little bit removed from the communities he was advocating for.”
Netflix has released a trailer for the upcoming series. The trailer shows Domingo’s characters discovering a dead body in the woods and being framed for the murder. He exclaims that he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. What follows is an intense endeavor to prove the allegations against him false.
