Also debuting Nov. 22, is Malcolm Washington’s big-screen adaptation of August Wilson’s 1987 Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Piano Lesson. Another potential awards contender, the logline for the film reads: “Set in 1936 Pittsburgh during the aftermath of the Great Depression, The Piano Lesson follows the lives of the Charles family in the Doaker Charles household and an heirloom, the family piano, which documents the family history through carvings made by their enslaved ancestor. The always excellent Danielle Deadwyler leads the cast with Samuel L. Jackson and John David Washington, the latter two also starred in the Broadway revival of the play. The cast also includes Corey Hawkins, Michael Potts and Ray Fisher. Malcolm Washington, the son of Denzel Washington, makes his feature debut with The Piano Lesson and also co-wrote the screenplay with Virgil Williams.”
The in-demand Domingo appears in the Netflix series The Madness, which debuts on the streamer Nov. 28. In the paranoia-filled conspiracy thriller, the Oscar nominee plays a media pundit who fears he’s being framed for a murder he stumbled upon. The eight-part drama was created by Stephen Belber, and it also stars Marsha Stephanie Blake, Gabrielle Graham and John Ortiz.
