Netflix has ordered eight episodes of Colman Domingo's conspiracy thriller The Madness.

According to Variety, the star – known for his roles on Fear the Walking Dead and Euphoria – will play media pundit Muncie Daniels, who ends up on the run.

After coming across a murder in the Poconos woods, Muncie must "fight for his innocence and his life" and hopes to reconnect with his estranged family in order to survive.

Justified's VJ Boyd and Tommy's Stephen Belber are attached as showrunners, with Clément Virgo, Quyen Tran and Jessica Lowrey confirmed to be directing multiple episodes each.

Jenno Topping, President of Chernin Entertainment, said: "Stephen Belber and VJ Boyd thrive in creating suspense driven emotional stories that connect with broad audiences.

"We look forward to seeing them bring this timely conspiracy thriller to life and to continue our partnership with Netflix."

Fear the Walking Dead is back for its final season later this year, and Domingo – who plays Victor Strand in the zombie drama – was recently pictured reuniting with co-star Kim Dickens (Madison Clark) in a behind-the-scenes snap.

Several new spin-offs in the universe are also in the works, including shows centred on Rick and Michonne, Daryl Dixon, and Maggie and Negan.

Fear the Walking Dead returns for its eighth and final season on Sunday, May 14 at 9pm ET on AMC in the US, and will air on AMC on BT TV in the UK.
