Taylor Sheridan’s modern Western drama, *Yellowstone*, seemingly concluded with its season five finale on December 15, 2024. While fans remain hopeful for a potential season six, there’s exciting news for viewers who love the Yellowstone universe—another spin-off series, *The Madison*, is on its way.

Instead of focusing on the Dutton family, *The Madison* introduces a fresh storyline centered on a New York City family who relocates to Montana. Here’s a breakdown of everything we know so far about the upcoming series, including plot details, casting announcements, and its anticipated release date.

**What Will *The Madison* Be About?**

The official synopsis for *The Madison* describes the show as a “heartfelt study of grief and human connection” following a family from New York City as they adjust to life in Montana’s Madison River valley. While the main characters will be new, there’s still speculation that some familiar faces from *Yellowstone* could make appearances. Sheridan’s previous spin-offs, *1883* and *1923*, explored the Dutton family history, so fans are curious whether the Duttons will have a role in this new chapter.

Director Christina Alexandra hinted at the unique perspective of the series in an interview with *Variety* in November 2024: “It’s such a different story. The common ground is the landscape.

We are in Montana, but it is seen through a completely different lens, so it feels like another facet of this cut stone that has been polished. There are parallels in the scope of landscape and a human being’s place in that space, but it’s coming at it from a completely different point of view.”

**Who Will Be in *The Madison*?**

Paramount Network has announced several big names for the cast of *The Madison*. Leading the show is Michelle Pfeiffer, who will play Stacy, the central character. Joining her are *Suits* star Patrick J. Adams (Russell McIntosh) and Elle Chapman (Paige McIntosh), a wealthy couple from New York. Beau Garrett will portray Abigail Reese, a recent divorcée, while Amiah Miller will play Bridgett, Abigail’s eldest daughter.

Additional cast members announced in December 2024 include Kevin Zegers as Cade, Stacy’s neighbor; Rebecca Spence as Liliana Weeks, Stacy’s friend and a New York City socialite; Alaina Pollack as Macy, Abigail’s younger daughter; and Danielle Vasinova as Kestrel, an Indigenous woman married to a Montana rancher.

Rumors swirled in 2023 that Matthew McConaughey might lead the spin-off, but no confirmation has been made about his involvement.

**When Will *The Madison* Premiere?**

Filming for *The Madison* is currently underway, but Paramount has not yet announced an official release date. Fans are eagerly awaiting updates, as the show promises to bring a fresh perspective to the Yellowstone universe.

With its intriguing premise and star-studded cast, *The Madison* is shaping up to be a compelling addition to Taylor Sheridan’s storytelling legacy. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new series!
