Colman Domingo Eyes Season 2 of The Madness: “I Think There’s More to Muncie”
When Netflix dropped The Madness on November 28, 2024, audiences were thrown into a world of political intrigue, murder conspiracies, and a complex protagonist played by none other than Colman Domingo. While the first season left fans hungry for answers, it seems Domingo himself is just as eager to see where the story goes next.
In an interview with Deadline, Domingo, who plays Muncie Daniels—a former political consultant turned CNN journalist—dropped a tantalizing hint about his hopes for Season 2. “I don’t really say this a lot about shows because I love moving on to new things,” he said. “But with this one, I think there’s more to explore with Muncie. I’d love to see where his story goes next.”
Muncie Daniels: A Man on the Edge
Created by Stephen Belber, The Madness follows Muncie as he vacations in the Poconos, only to be accused of murdering a notorious white supremacist. What follows is a chaotic, high-stakes fight to clear his name, revealing layers of political corruption, media sensationalism, and a personal reckoning for the character. By the season finale, Daniels emerges from the shadows of the conspiracy, but his future—and his relationships—remain in question.
“He’s got to rebuild,” Domingo explained. “His wife, his kids, his community—he believed he was fighting for them, but fame twisted that. He became about himself instead of the people. Season 2 could be about reconnecting, but in a world where his reputation is still on the line.”
Critics Weigh In
The Madness has earned solid reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising the performances of Domingo and his co-stars, including John Ortiz, Tamsin Topolski, and Marsha Stephanie Blake. The series masterfully blends sharp social commentary with nail-biting suspense, leaving fans clamoring for more.
Will Netflix Hit the Green Light?
The streaming giant has yet to announce a renewal for The Madness, but with its strong debut and Domingo’s star power, a second season seems more than plausible. If it happens, expect more twists, deeper character dives, and—if Domingo gets his way—a bigger spotlight on Muncie’s quest for redemption.
What’s Next for Colman Domingo?
Known for his versatility, Domingo has been on a roll with projects spanning stage, screen, and even his own directorial ventures. While fans of The Madness wait with bated breath, one thing’s for sure: whether it’s on Netflix or elsewhere, Colman Domingo is just getting started.
