“Everything about this conspiracy thriller excited me,” he told Tudum. “It was a unique protagonist, one that I had never seen or experienced. Someone who has very centrist beliefs, and now they’re being thrust into the world to really hard-core believe in something and to reexamine the people that they believed were possible enemies. You realize you have more in common with them than you thought you had in the beginning. I think it says a lot about who we are now and what we’re willing to do, and also to look at who’s really pulling the strings and for whose benefit.”

“You can just turn on the news right now, and you’re like, ‘What is being said? And how is that being done? And why is that normal?’ None of it is normal,” Colman added. “This [series] is really letting you know that you’re right. It’s not normal. Let’s get to the bottom of it.”

Also starring in the series are Marsha Stephanie Blake, Gabrielle Graham, John Ortiz, Tamsin Topolski and TJ Mixon.

The Madness will premiere on November 28th on Netflix.
