When the end of Yellowstone was officially announced last year,
Paramount Network had set the wheels in motion for two more spinoffs.
There was the prequel series, to be set in 1944, and then the present-day continuation,
set to take place after the events of Yellowstone, which had the working title 2024.Now, that sequel series is very much beginning to take shape. That series will be titled The Madison and will star Michelle Pfeiffer, and it will be the next series to roll out in the Yellowstone universe. The Oscar-nominated movie star will also executive produce the new series from franchise boss Taylor Sheridan.The Madison is described 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. “She is the perfect anchor to the newest chapter of the Yellowstone universe, The Madison, from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan.”
Pfeiffer, a three-time Oscar nominee, Golden Globe Award winner and Emmy nominee, is the latest A-list star to join Sheridan for the Yellowstone-verse, following Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren leading Yellowstone prequel series 1923 (which is currently in production on its second and final season).
