While Yellowstone might be gone, the Yellowstone universe and its creator, Taylor Sheridan, are thriving.
Y: Marshals, a CBS series centered on Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes), is currently in production with a planned 2025–26 midseason premiere. A new Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) show (rumored to be titled Dutton Ranch), is also in the works, while 6666 was announced as another spinoff. Meanwhile, series such as Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown continue to keep Sheridan’s name at the forefront of the television landscape.
But one show that doesn’t seem to have much traction is The Madison(originally titled 2024). The last update on Sheridan’s Montana-centered drama came in October 2024, when Y: The Last Man alum Ben Schnetzer was cast as “a rancher,” sparking speculation about whether he might be playing The Madison‘s very own version of Rip Wheeler.
Prior to that announcement, the high-profile series from Sheridan boasted a big name cast, including star Michelle Pfeiffer, Lost alum Matthew Fox, Patrick J. Adams of Suits, Firefly Lane alum Beau Garrett, Amiah Miller, and newcomer Elle Chapman.
Kurt Russell was also been rumored to be attached to the series, though that casting appears to have halted.
So, what has happened to The Madison? Why has there been no meaningful news since October 2024? Unfortunately, until there’s an official announcement from Paramount or Sheridan’s camp, fans will have to settle for speculation and keep waiting for any sign that the project is moving forward.
Until then, here what we know about the series.
What is Yellowstone‘s The Madison about?
Paramount describes The Madison as a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.
“Michelle Pfeiffer is a remarkable talent who imbues every role with emotional depth, authenticity and grace,” said Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO, Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios when her casting was announced. “She is the perfect anchor to the newest chapter of the Yellowstone universe, Madison, from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan.”
The Madison is executive produced by Sheridan, David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Christina Voros, Michael Friedman, Pfeiffer, and Keith Cox.
Yellowstone‘s The Madison Cast
The Madison centers on Pfeiffer as far Stacy Clyburn, a wealthy matriarch who moves her family from New York City to Montana in the wake of a life-changing event.
Chapman and Garrett play Pfeiffer’s two daughters, Paige McIntosh and Abigail Reese. Adams plays Russell McIntosh, Paige’s husband. Fox will star opposite Pfeiffer as Paul, “a self-reliant bachelor who loves the outdoors,” according to Deadline.
Here are the official character descriptions provided by Paramount:
Adams will play Russell McIntosh, a young investment banker who has followed the life path set before him from the start.
Chapman will play Paige McIntosh, a somewhat self-centered woman who indulges in a luxurious New York lifestyle provided by her parents and investment banker husband.
Garrett will play Abigail Reese, a resilient and sardonic New Yorker, who is a recently divorced mother of two.
Miller will play Bridgette, Abigail’s eldest daughter.
The Madison is Chapman’s TV debut. Her film debut was in a scene in A Man Called Otto opposite Tom Hanks. Miller recently starred in War for the Planet of the Apes.
Schnetzer joins the cast as Van, “a salt-of-the-earth and neighborly Montana rancher,” per Variety. Van is the first character announced for the series who seems to be from Montana and not a transplant like the other main characters. While we wouldn’t describe Cole Hauser’s Rip in Yellowstone as neighborly, Van’s description most resembles the archetypes viewers already know from the flagship series.
Schnetzer is known for starring in Y: The Last Man and was recently seen in Netflix’s 3 Body Problem.
Yellowstone‘s The Madison Premiere Date
Production on The Madison is reportedly began in August 2024 in Montana, NYC, and Texas. It is unknown when the series with premiere.
Will Yellowstone‘s Original Cast Be in The Madison?
When it was known as 2024, The Madison got a series order in Fall 2023 from Paramount and was reportedly going to feature appearances from original Yellowstone cast members Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Luke Grimes. Matthew McConaughey was attached to star. There is no update on whether or not Reilly, Hauser, and Grimes will appear in The Madison.
