Yellowstone devotees and Taylor Sheridan enthusiasts are buzzing with anticipation following the announcement of the official release date for his forthcoming drama The Madison.
The eagerly awaited TV series, which boasts major stars including Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, will stream on Paramount Plus and centres on the Clyburn family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.
The six-episode season is set to debut on March 14 and represents Sheridan’s most compact project yet, as his productions typically span eight or 10 episodes.
However, this won’t signal the end of the series, as a second season was reportedly commissioned even before the season one release date was announced.
According to Deadline, filming for The Madison’s second season was due to commence in September. The series has been billed as Sheridan’s most personal work to date, exploring themes of grief and human connection, reports Wales Online.
The ensemble cast also features Beau Garrett, Elle Chapman, Patrick J. Adams, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack, Ben Schnetzer, Kevin Zegers, Rebecca Spence, Danielle Vasinova and Matthew Fox.
Paramount unveiled some first-look images showcasing the cast in contemporary settings, including Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn and Garrett as Abigail Reese.
Fans flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to express their reactions to the latest news, with Luce commenting on one of the photos: “Beautiful shot. We’re ready and waiting for you, Pfeiffer.”
Reacting to a photograph of Ben Schnetzer portraying Sheriff Van Davis, one enthusiast commented on Deadline’s platform: “I will tune in for that sheriff alone!”.
This neo-Western drama marks the fifth instalment in the Yellowstone franchise, though it operates independently from the original Yellowstone series.
The project received the green light in May 2023 as an unnamed Yellowstone spin-off, with filming taking place across Montana between September and October 2024.
Sequences depicting New York City were shot in Dallas, before production relocated to Fort Worth, Texas. The second season concluded filming in North Texas during December 2025.
On 20 December, actress Elle Chapman confirmed via an Instagram story that production had finished, writing: “And that’s a wrap on season 2. Heart is full.”
Uncertainty remained regarding whether the upcoming episodes would constitute a second series, or simply serve as the latter half of the first season.
The Madison airs on Paramount Plus on March 14
