Paramount+ has announced that Taylor Sheridan's new drama series, The Madison, will premiere globally on March 14, 2026. The six-episode show stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell as a New York City family navigating grief in Montana's Madison River valley. A teaser trailer revealed during the Landman season 2 finale also introduced Will Arnett to the cast.
Taylor Sheridan continues to expand his television universe with The Madison, described by Paramount+ as his most intimate project yet. The series unfolds across the landscapes of Montana and the energy of Manhattan, exploring a profound love story through a family drama centered on resilience, transformation, grief, and human connection. It follows the Clyburn family, who relocate to the Madison River valley in central Montana after a personal loss.
The project was greenlit in May 2023 as an untitled spin-off in the broader Yellowstone franchise, though it stands independent from the original series. Filming for season one took place in Montana from September to October 2024, with New York City scenes shot in Dallas and production moving to Fort Worth, Texas. Ahead of the premiere, Paramount+ confirmed a second season order, with filming wrapping in North Texas by December 2025. Elle Chapman, who plays a role in the series, shared on Instagram: “And that’s a wrap on season 2. Heart is full."
Starring Oscar nominee Michelle Pfeiffer and Golden Globe nominee Kurt Russell, the cast also includes Beau Garrett, Patrick J. Adams, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack, Ben Schnetzer, Kevin Zegers, Rebecca Spence, Danielle Vasinova, and Matthew Fox. The recent teaser, debuted during the season 2 finale of Sheridan's Landman, spotlights Will Arnett as Phil Yorn, a New York City-based therapist, amid picturesque Montana backdrops. First-look images released alongside the announcement capture the cast in moments of tranquility and reflection.
At six episodes, The Madison marks Sheridan's shortest series to date, contrasting his typical eight- or ten-episode runs. Fan excitement is evident online, with one viewer commenting on a photo of Pfeiffer: "Beautiful shot. We’re ready & waiting for you, Pfeiffer." Another praised Ben Schnetzer's character: "I will tune in for that sheriff alone!!" Produced by Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios, and Bosque Ranch Productions, the series is executive produced by Sheridan and a team including Pfeiffer and Russell.
