If you miss the drama and intrigue that come with living in modern-day Montana, worry not. Soon enough, there will be another Yellowstone spin-off that is sure to knock your cowboy boots off. It’s going to be called The Madison and below we’ve found out everything you need to know about the show, including whether Matthew McConaughey is involved.
What is ‘The Madison’ about?
Announced in August 2024, The Madison—originally titled 2024—is expected to follow a New York City family who decides to move to the Madison River Valley in Montana. It will take place after the Yellowstone season 5 finale, though, as of now, no Duttons are involved with the show. This is quite a shift from creator Taylor Sheridan’s other shows—Yellowstone, 1883, 1923 and 1944—all of which feature the family and their cattle ranch.
However, since the show does take place in modern-day Montana, there is a chance that Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly), Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) and more might show up.
Who’s in the cast of ‘The Madison’?
As of publication the cast will include Patrick J. Adams will play Russell McIntosh, Elle Chapman will play Paige McIntosh, Matthew Fox will play Paul, Kevin Zegers will play Cade Harris, Rebecca Spence will play Liliana Weeks, Beau Garrett will Abigail Reese, Ben Schnetzer will play Van Davis, Amiah Miller will play Brigitte Reese, Alaina Pollack will play Macy Reese and Danielle Vasinova will play Kestrel Harris. However, how their roles are connected to the story has yet to be announced.
For most of them, this is the first time they have worked on a Sheridan project, except for Vasinova, who did appear in two episodes of 1923 season 2 as Ata Waipa. In The Madison, though, she will play an entirely different character named Kestrel Harris.
Another star who will appear in The Madison is none other than Michelle Pfeiffer, who will play Stacey Clyburn.
“Michelle Pfeiffer is a remarkable talent who imbues every role with emotional depth, authenticity and grace,” Chris McCarthy, the Paramount Global co-CEO and the president and CEO of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios, said in a statement. “She is the perfect anchor to the newest chapter of the Yellowstone universe, The Madison, from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan.”
Along with acting, Pfeiffer will also serve as an executive producer.
Will Matthew McConaughey be in ‘The Madison?’
In February 2023, there were a lot of rumors and speculation surrounding McConaughey’s potential involvement in the franchise.
It came after Kevin Costner announced that he would be leaving his role as John Dutton III in Yellowstone.
“We have no news to report. Kevin Costner is a big part of Yellowstone and we hope that’s the case for a long time to come,” a statement issued by Paramount at the time read. “Thanks to the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan, we are always working on franchise expansions of this incredible world he has built.”
The statement also detailed that “Matthew McConaughey is a phenomenal talent with whom we’d love to partner.”
Following that, nothing was announced, and it is believed that McConaughey is not in The Madison or any other Yellowstone spin-off show. The actor never commented on the rumors either.
When will ‘The Madison’ premiere?
As of now, The Madison doesn’t have a release date, but it is believed to be sometime in either late 2025 or early 2026. However, if you cannot wait that long to return to Montana, Yellowstone and 1883 are available to stream on Peacock, and 1923 is available to stream on Paramount+.
