Emmy-nominated filmmaker Mike Mayhall invites audiences into the fractured mind of a man spiraling into darkness with his latest five-part limited series, The Madness of David Judge. The chilling psychological thriller is now streaming on Tubi, Amazon Prime Video, and Movie Central.
A Descent into Uncertainty
At first glance, David Judge seems to have it all: a successful career as a celebrated author, a beautiful home, and a marriage that appears picture-perfect. But beneath the surface lies betrayal, heartbreak, and a creeping sense that his world is not as stable as it seems. When David uncovers his wife’s devastating affair and is blindsided by her sudden disappearance, his search for answers plunges him into a nightmarish unraveling of reality itself.
As whispers echo in the dark and ghostly visions invade his days, David struggles to distinguish fact from hallucination. Each revelation pushes him closer to the edge: is his mind betraying him—or is he being hunted by forces more sinister than imagination?
The Chapters of Madness
The series is broken into five hauntingly titled episodes that chart David’s downward spiral:
- Suddenly There Came a Tapping
- Sooner Than You Think
- Ask the Rats
- Between Dreams and Waking
- When the Devil Whispers
Each installment peels back another layer of David’s disintegrating psyche, luring viewers deeper into his paranoia, confusion, and dread.
A Cast That Cuts Deep
Bringing Mayhall’s unsettling vision to life is a powerhouse ensemble led by Jeremy Sande in the titular role of David Judge. His raw performance anchors the series, capturing both David’s unraveling brilliance and his descent into despair.
He’s joined by Sarah S. Fisher, Sherri Eakin, Cotton Yancey, Dean J. West, Trazi Lashawn, and Sylvia Grace Crim—each delivering nuanced portrayals that heighten the series’ psychological tension. Together, they craft a world where no one can be fully trusted, and every glance or whisper could tilt David further toward madness.
The Vision Behind the Darkness
For Mike Mayhall, The Madness of David Judge is more than a psychological thriller—it’s a study of how fragile the mind becomes in the aftermath of trauma.
“At its heart, this is about how easily the mind can betray us when trauma takes hold,” says Mayhall. “David’s journey is terrifying not only because of what he sees, but because of how much of it could be real.”
That blurred line between perception and reality drives the series, leaving audiences questioning their own instincts as much as David does.
Produced with Precision
Produced in collaboration with Buffalo 8, The Madness of David Judge reflects Mayhall’s signature ability to marry emotional storytelling with cinematic tension. His Emmy-nominated eye for detail ensures the series resonates beyond jump scares, instead planting its horror in the places audiences least expect: memory, betrayal, and the haunting spaces between dreams and waking life.
