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.

00:07I believe I've told Netflix.
00:08I told my co-stars.
00:10It's the show that I come from a theater.
00:14I like doing limited runs of things because I like to move on and discover something new.
00:18But I felt like I could discover even more with Muncie.
00:21I can go on and on.
00:22I actually thought, really, I could do a season two of this.
00:24And I even sort of like, you know, soft pitched an idea how it could continue.
00:29Because he had to figure some things out, he and his family.
00:33And they form a new bond by the end of the series.
00:36And a lot of things go down.
00:38But I feel like now that he has these attributes and he knows what's possible and what he can, you

00:48I feel like we could take him somewhere else and get caught up in another situation.
00:52He sort of, I think, in my mind, it's funny, he's sort of like my James Bond, you know?
00:57I think he's got skills that he didn't even know he had, you know?
01:00But he's willing and willing to be wily and speak to different people.
01:05Because he almost has a, because of his work being a pundit and also being a college professor, he knows
01:10people.
01:11He knows how to try to figure out what they need, what they want.
01:14And so I think that he can be a force of good, fighting for good in our world.
01:18So I think he's a modern day superhero, you know?
