Who was trying to frame Muncie? 

Netflix’s latest hit thriller series is The Madness, starring Colman Domingo, but who was tying to frame Muncie? Read on to find out.

All eight episodes of the limited series premiered on the streaming service on Thursday (November 28), with episodes ranging from 45 to 60 minutes in length.

Domingo stars as Muncie Daniels, a media pundit who attempts to clear his name after he stumbles upon a murder in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. Ensuing events lead Daniels to reconnect with his estranged family and engage with the values he used to hold.

The show also stars Marsha Stephanie Blake, who was Emmy-nominated for When They See Us, as well as Gabrielle Graham (On The Basis Of Sex) and John Ortiz (American Fiction, Silver Linings Playbook).

The Madness has been created by the renowned playwright Stephen Belber, who is known for the stage shows Tape, The Laramie Project and Match.

Colman was nominated for an Oscar last year for his lead role in the biopic Rustin, about the civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, and also starred in Zola, The Color Purple, If Beale Street Could Talk and as Ali in Euphoria.

The Madness ending explained: Who was trying to frame Muncie?

The final episode opens with Domingo’s Muncie as one of the prime suspects in the killings of several characters, including Mark Simon and Laura Jennings. However, when Julia Jayne’s attack on Isiah’s store goes wrong and she ends up dead, police examine her laptop and find evidence to incriminate her and to exonerate Muncie.

Muncie has audio recordings of Jayne admitting that she was not working alone, but under the orders of Rodney Kraintz, CEO of Revitalize. He later turns down a $5million hush money offer from the corporation.

Muncie later broadcasts his recordings of Jayne on CNN and reveals that Kraintz only hired Jayne to deal with anyone trying to regulate his cobalt mine operation, with a major upcoming climate bill set to offer him enormous financial rewards.

Muncie eventually confronts Kraintz in his home, with the latter admitting that he framed Muncie for the murder of Simon, and then hired Jayne to follow him and threaten him.

Kraintz is shot and killed by an escaped member of the crime syndicate The Forge, and the show concludes with Muncie teaching again and living a happier life with his friends, and a possible reunion with Elena.
