The upcoming series The Madison has cast another main actor. Formerly titled 2024, The Madison is an upcoming Yellowstone spinoff that is set in the universe of the Taylor Sheridan series. The Madison is one of several Yellowstone spinoffs, which include 1883 and 1923. Though The Madison will take place after the events of Yellowstone, and will be distinct from the direct Yellowstone sequel series, which has been announced to star some of the original cast members.
Per Variety, The Madison has now cast another one of its leads. The role will be played by Lost star Matthew Fox. Fox’s character is Paul, who is described as a “self-reliant bachelor who loves the outdoors.” Exactly how big a role Fox will play in the Yellowstone sequel show, but he is confirmed to be one of the new actors joining the series.
Who Else Has Been Cast In The Madison?
The Lead Role Remains In Flux
Fox is an exciting addition to the cast of The Madison, as he is an experienced network actor. Most notably, he played Dr. Jack Shepard on the hit ABC series Lost, which ran from 2004 to 2010. Fox was nominated for an Emmy for his role in Lost in 2010. He also has experience with the Western genre, acting in the movie Bone Tomahawk in 2015, making him a great choice for the modern Western landscape of The Madison. His other recent credits include C*A*U*G*H*T and Last Light.
Fox was the only actor announced in this particular The Madison development, but he is far from the only confirmed star in the show. Previous publications have confirmed Suits star Patrick J. Adams, Michelle Pfeiffer, Amiah Miller, Elle Chapman, and Beau Garrett have also been cast. Adams will play an investment banker in the series named Russell McIntosh, opposite Chapman’s Paige McIntonish, his wife. Garrett will play a divorced woman and now single mother named Abigail Reese. Stepping in to play Abigail’s daughter is Miller.
The Madison’s casting has also been a source of confusion. It was announced that Kurt Russell was in talks for the lead role, despite Matthew McConaughey previously being deemed the star. The network has not clarified this issue, so the lead actor is still unknown. If it were to be Russell, The Madison could be a great reunion between him and Fox, who acted together in Bone Tomahawk.
