As a longtime fan of gripping dramas and captivating performances, I find myself eagerly anticipating the upcoming series titled “The Madison.” Having grown up amidst the picturesque landscapes of Montana, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia at the prospect of delving into another story set in this breathtaking state.
As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but feel like I’m on an epic quest this year. The TV landscape has been filled with captivating dramas from the creative mind of Taylor Sheridan. And let me tell you, the future isn’t looking any less action-packed! With the second season of Tulsa King set to debut in September, the final episodes of Yellowstone’s Season 5 being filmed for a November release, and keeping fans guessing about the potential fourth season of Mayor of Kingstown, Taylor Sheridan is busier than the protagonist in my favorite RPG. Not to mention the upcoming Yellowstone spin-offs like 1922, 1944, and the first number-free one: The Madison. It’s a true adventure just keeping up with this prolific storyteller!
The latest updates concerning “The Madison” series were initially sparked amidst the widely publicized disagreement between BTS member Sheridan and actor Kevin Costner, who stars in “Yellowstone”. However, the anticipation and specifics were quite distinct back then. Now, with a period of calm passed, the Paramount Network original is gearing up for production, so let’s saddle up comfortably to ride through the key facts we have about “The Madison” thus far.
When Is The Madison’s Premiere Date?
Initially, the idea behind a follow-up series to “Yellowstone” was set to debut when the original series was wrapping up, with a potential release date of November 2024 proposed. However, as the production process grew more intricate and less efficient, and was additionally disrupted by industry strikes, these plans were ultimately abandoned.
At present, there’s no specific air date announced for “The Madison”, as it’s still in the early stages of production. However, it’s anticipated that filming will commence after the wrap-up of “Yellowstone” Season 5, with a tentative release window set for around 2025. The series will be shot in Montana, New York, and Texas.
The Madison’s Cast List
Despite initial speculation linking Matthew McConaughey to the role in The Madison, it appears that he and the producers had disagreements on several points, making his involvement uncertain. Later whispers suggested Kurt Russell as a potential co-star, but no official confirmation has been made about him yet. However, we can confirm that the following actors are definitively part of the cast.
Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn
Michelle Pfeiffer, known for her roles as Catwoman and Janet Van Dyne, is set to lead “The Madison” project. She was initially linked to this role in April 2024. This is a departure from the usual roles for the Academy Award-nominated actress, who has only taken on series regular TV duties with Showtime’s “The First Lady” in the last 40 years.
Patrick J. Adams as Russell McIntosh
Known primarily for his role as Mike Ross in the TV series “Suits,” Patrick J. Adams is now venturing into a Taylor Sheridan project titled “The Madison.” However, this isn’t his sole television endeavor post-“Suits.” He has garnered praise for his performances in shows like “The Right Stuff,” “A League of Their Own,” and “Plan B.” With a number of upcoming projects lined up, including the miniseries “Lockerbie” and Mae Martin’s miniseries “Wayward,” Adams is keeping himself quite busy in the years following “Suits.”
Matthew Fox as Paul
Matthew Fox, known for his roles in “Party of Five” and “Lost”, has joined the cast of “The Madison” as Paul, according to Deadline. After a brief hiatus from acting following his intense role in the western film “Bone Tomahawk”, Fox made a TV comeback in 2022 with the miniseries “Last Light”. In 2023, he also starred in the comedy series “C*A*U*G*H*T” on Roku Originals.
Elle Chapman as Paige McIntosh
Actress Elle Chapman is set to play the character Paige McIntosh for her first major television part. Before this, she had provided voiceover work for an episode of “The Girl in the Mirror.” Notably, her most significant role so far was in the 2022 adaptation of Tom Hanks’ novel “A Man Called Otto.” Additionally, Chapman will soon appear in Michael O. Sajbel’s western “Florida Wild,” where she’ll share screen time with Mira Sorvino, Lee Majors, and Chandler Riggs.
Beau Garrett as Abigail Reese
Actress Beau Garrett, who has a number of TV series credits to her name, is set to appear in the cast of “The Madison” as Abigail Reese. While she gained much of her western expertise from only two episodes of “Longmire”, Garrett has also shone in other dramatic roles like those in “Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce”, “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior”, “The Good Doctor”, and most recently, “Firefly Lane”.
Amiah Miller as Bridgette Reese
Actress Amiah Miller, recognized for her role as human girl Nova in the contemporary Planet of the Apes films, is set to portray Bridgette Reese amidst Montana’s breathtaking scenery. Having recently collaborated on the horror-comedy film My Best Friend’s Exorcism, Miller will soon share the screen with Sarah Paulson in the chilling 1930s-inspired horror movie titled Hold Your Breath.
What Is The Madison About?
Primarily, let me share a simplified summary of “The Madison” as described by Paramount Network:
In simpler terms, “The Madison” delves into emotions of sorrow and the bond between people, focusing on a family residing in the Madison River valley, which is located in central Montana, near New York City.
Previously, TVLine reported that Michelle Pfeiffer’s character, Stacy Clyburn, is grappling with immense sorrow following the tragic plane crash that took the lives of her husband and brother-in-law. The series, The Madison, will focus on Stacy and her family as they embark on a journey from New York City to Montana.
There’s a chance that Pfeiffer’s character name hasn’t been decided yet since it doesn’t align with any other characters. However, what we do know is that she’s the mom to Beau Garrett and Elle Chapman’s characters. Garrett portrays Abigaile Reese, a flexible and witty New Yorker who has become a single mother of two following her divorce. Amiah Miller takes on the role of her older daughter Bridgette in this production.
Next, there’s the McIntosh family, where Patrick J. Adams and Elle Chapman portray a wealthy New York couple accustomed to opulence. Russell, played by Adams, is an investment banker who has always adhered strictly to his predetermined life trajectory. On the other hand, Paige, acted by Chapman, is Russell’s self-indulgent and arrogant wife, who has never hesitated to accept financial aid from her parents, as well as her husband.
It’s presently uncertain if the characters mentioned earlier will meet anyone from Paradise Valley, specifically the Dutton family. However, it appears quite probable that some recognizable figures will make an appearance.
The Madison Possibly Isn’t Replacing The ‘2024’ Sequel, Which May Still Hdappen
There’s some confusion about the different Yellowstone spinoffs, including the one tentatively named for 2024, which was initially announced alongside 1944. However, it’s important to note that this might not necessarily be the same project now being called The Madison. Although it may seem plausible due to timing, it could be a misleading assumption.
It seems that Puck News (via TVLine) has suggested otherwise about Michelle Pfeiffer’s new series not being a substitute replacement for the 2024 show, despite earlier discussions about her replacing Matthew McConaughey. One possible piece of evidence is that the direct sequel was also intended to feature returning Yellowstone stars like Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Luke Grimes.
In February 2024, there were rumors about delays in contract talks with the actors, which might have prevented their return. However, the project wasn’t officially canceled after these reports, suggesting that it could potentially still be produced as planned.
As you eagerly anticipate the next installment of the story in “Yellowstone”, consider spending your time by streaming the existing 4.5 seasons of this western drama on Peacock, with a subscription to their service.
