As a film enthusiast who’s been following the Yellowstone universe for quite some time now, I must say, the latest developments have me absolutely gripped! The addition of Patrick J. Adams, Michelle Pfeiffer, Elle Chapman, and Beau Garrett to the cast of The Madison spinoff is nothing short of thrilling.
In the upcoming “Yellowstone” spinoff titled “The Madison“, Paramount has added three new cast members: Patrick J. Adams from “Suits”, Elle Chapman, and Beau Garrett. Previously announced as the lead actor is Michelle Pfeiffer, who will portray Stacy Clyburn, a family matriarch and widower, relocating her family to Montana. The acclaimed actress will also serve as an executive producer on the spinoff series, which is being created by Taylor Sheridan.
According to Variety, Patrick J. Adams, popularly recognized for his role as Mike Ross in Suits, is set to play Russell McIntosh, a young investment banker who has adhered strictly to the life plan laid out for him since the beginning. In her TV debut, Elle Chapman, known from A Man Called Otto, will portray Paige McIntosh, a somewhat self-absorbed woman enjoying a lavish New York lifestyle thanks to her parents and investment banker husband. Lastly, Beau Garrett, who has appeared in shows like The Good Doctor and Netflix’s Firefly Lane, takes on the role of Abigail Reese, a resilient and sarcastic New Yorker who is a divorced mother of two.
The official logline for the Yellowstone spinoff series describes the story as:
“An emotional exploration of grief and bonding among a family residing in the Madison River valley of central Montana, after experiencing events in New York City.”
In November, Paramount revealed plans for two new shows based on the success of their popular western series, “Yellowstone.” They hinted at a prequel series titled “1944” and a spinoff, initially dubbed “2024,” which was speculated to star Mathew McConaughey. However, it appears that this series has transformed into “The Madison.” At present, there is uncertainty regarding McConaughey’s involvement with the project or any of the “Yellowstone” spinoffs. As of now, Paramount has not disclosed whether “The Madison” will air on network television or debut on Paramount+.
What’s Next for the Yellowstone Universe
After a brief hiatus, Yellowstone resumes its fifth and final season this winter, picking up where it left off in part two following the mid-season finale back in January 2023. Unfortunately, production on the show was delayed due to creative differences between lead actor Kevin Costner, show creator Taylor Sheridan, and Paramount. Disagreements over scheduling for Costner’s other western film, Horizon, along with character development and SAG-AFTRA strikes led to a postponement in filming for the series. In interviews and comments from all parties, tensions seemed to persist. However, it was later announced that Costner would not be returning, and the series will conclude without him.
1883, the first series in the franchise to be released, was a massive success, boasting an impressive 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Conversely, the second prequel series, 1923, garnered mixed reactions from viewers, receiving an 80% score from critics and a 56% audience score. The prequel features Academy Award nominee Harrison Ford and Academy Award winner Helen Mirren as Jacob and Cara Dutton. Remarkably, the series was renewed for its second and final season prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
1923’s Season 2 carries forward the Dutton family’s tale set in Montana after World War I. The Duttons grapple with sorrow and loss as they confront lingering feuds, landowners, and debt collectors who threaten the Yellowstone ranch. Filming started in June 2024, but the Season 2 premiere date is yet to be announced.
Last year, another show titled “6666” was given the go-ahead for release. The title refers to the Four Sixes Ranch that made a brief appearance in “Yellowstone.” While plot details remain scarce, it’s expected that the series will delve into the ranch’s long and storied past and origins. It appears that viewers are still craving the neo-Western genre and the Dutton family narrative.
As fans eagerly anticipate the end of Yellowstone, with its prequels now concluded, a new series titled The Madison is set to unfold. This series takes place following the events of Yellowstone and promises excitement as we watch how city-dwellers from New York navigate the rugged terrain of the Madison valley.
