Hollywood legends Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell share a passionate kiss in the newly released teaser for Taylor Sheridan's latest drama, The Madison. The series, set to premiere on Saturday, March 14 on Paramount+, marks a major new entry from the creator of the global phenomenon Yellowstone.
A Family Uprooted by Tragedy
The Montana-based series follows the Clyburn family, who are forced to leave their life in New York City behind following the devastating loss of two family members in a plane crash. Pfeiffer takes on the role of Stacy Clyburn, described as the wealthy matriarch who orchestrates the move. According to a Paramount+ press release, the show is billed as "a profound love story channeled through a deeply personal family drama about resilience and transformation."
The ensemble cast features an impressive line-up including Will Arnett, Patrick J. Adams, Matthew Fox, and Beau Garrett. Adams plays Russell McIntosh, a young investment banker, while Elle Chapman portrays his wife, Paige, a woman indulging in a luxurious New York lifestyle.
Connections to the Yellowstone Universe
While The Madison is a standalone family drama, its Montana setting and Sheridan's involvement have sparked speculation about potential links to the Yellowstone universe. The series was initially conceived to continue the Dutton family story with some original characters, though it remains unclear if or how the narratives will intersect. This development comes as Paramount+ continues to expand Sheridan's slate of originals, which includes Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, and the upcoming Y: Marshals.
In a notable show of confidence, The Madison was renewed for a second season in August 2025, months before its first season debut, with filming having already concluded late last year. The first season will consist of six episodes.
Star Power and Production Pedigree
Michelle Pfeiffer also serves as an executive producer on the series, alongside Sheridan, David C. Glasser, and John Linson, among others. The return of Matthew Fox to a major television role is another key draw; the actor, famous for Party of Five and Lost, ended a seven-year acting hiatus for this project. He plays Paul, a self-reliant bachelor who loves the outdoors.
The series promises to blend high-stakes family emotion with the rugged backdrop of Montana, a formula that has proven immensely successful for Sheridan. With its star-studded cast, powerful premise, and the creative force behind Yellowstone, The Madison is poised to be the next must-watch drama for Paramount+ subscribers when it launches this spring.
