Paramount Network announced the development of two spinoff series following the conclusion of Yellowstone last year. The prequel series, set in 1944, and the present-day continuation titled 2024 were in the works. The sequel series, now named Madison, is gaining momentum and will feature Michelle Pfeiffer in the lead role. Pfeiffer will also serve as an executive producer alongside Taylor Sheridan, the creative force behind the Yellowstone universe.
Madison is described as a poignant exploration of grief and human connections within a New York City family residing in the Madison River valley of central Montana. Paramount Global Co-CEO expressed confidence in Pfeiffer's ability to bring emotional depth and authenticity to the series, making her a fitting addition to the Yellowstone franchise.
Michelle Pfeiffer joins a star-studded lineup in the Yellowstone universe, following the likes of Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in the prequel series 1923. While Matthew McConaughey was initially considered for a role in Madison, no official agreement was reached.
The Madison series is set to continue the legacy of the Dutton family dynasty, introducing new characters and locations while possibly incorporating familiar faces from the original series. Another prequel set in 1944 was also announced, following the success of 1883 and 1923.
Yellowstone, the flagship series, is gearing up for its final episodes starting November 10 after facing production delays. The show's popularity has made it a cultural phenomenon, with viewers eagerly anticipating the resolution of the Dutton family saga.
Kevin Costner's departure from Yellowstone was confirmed earlier this year, prompting speculation about the future of his character, John Dutton. Fans are eager to see how Sheridan navigates the storyline without Costner's presence in the upcoming season.
Michelle Pfeiffer, known for her acclaimed performances in films like Scarface and French Exit, brings a wealth of experience to her role in Madison. The series is a collaboration between MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios, and Bosque Ranch Productions, with a team of seasoned producers backing the project.
