Spoilers for The Madness lie ahead, so read on at your own discretion.
At this point, a number of avid viewers may be looking towards what lies ahead on the 2025 TV schedule, though there are still some sweet entries from this year’s lineup to chat about. Netflix’s The Madness is one of them, and it would seem that the Colman Domingo-fronted limited series is really striking a chord with audiences. Given that, one has to wonder whether this could become an ongoing show. Domingo recently revealed to CinemaBlend that he’d love to make more seasons, and I dig his reason for wanting to do so.
The drama series centers around the character of Muncie Daniels (Colman Domingo) a CNN pundit who’s framed for murder of a white supremacy leader after a trip to the Poconos. Daniels later learns that he’s been set up and seeks to prove his name and, while attempting to do that, he becomes wrapped up in a conspiracy involving a mega-corporation called Revitalize. By the end of the eight-episode season, Muncie manages to avoid death, clear his name and seemingly restore his relationships with his kids and estranged wife.
