The Madison Everything We Know About the Yellowstone Spin-off

Yellowstone fans, the era of the Dutton family is nearing its end. According to TVLine, there’s another Yellowstone spin-off in development. The series, titled The Madison, reportedly stars Michelle Pfeiffer (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania) as newcomer Stacy Clyburn, alongside Kurt Russell (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters), Patrick J. Adams (Suits), and Beau Garrett (The Good Doctor). The Madison will follow the Clyburn family, led by matriarch Stacy, as they head to Montana from New York City in the wake of her husband’s death.

If Taylor Sheridan is actually adding a series to his shared Yellowstone universe, it opens up a massive can of worms. Previously, Paramount announced that it was putting together a sequel series to Yellowstone, titled 2024, featuring Matthew McConaughey. Cole Hauser, Kelly Reilly, and Luke Grimes were also rumored to reprise their roles of Rip Wheeler, Beth Dutton, and Kayce Dutton, respectively. Paramount has yet to comment on The Madison or the state of 2024.
For fans, the future of Yellowstone is in dire need of a road map. Ever since Kevin Costner left the project due to an ongoing feud with Sheridan, the path ahead has remained uncertain. Yellowstone season 5 ended abruptly—and on a cliff-hanger, I might add!—all the way back on New Year’s Day 2023. Costner went on to make his own western film series titled Horizon, while Paramount seemingly struggles to let audiences know just what’s next for the Dutton family.

As it currently stands, two roads stretch out before us. Either The Madison is replacing Paramount’s plans for 2024 or The Madison will air in addition to 2024. It’s also possible that The Madison will not connect to Yellowstone at all. According to Puck’s Matthew Belloni, the new series“will likely (but not for sure)” exist in the Yellowstone universe. Outside of Yellowstone prequels 1883 and 1923, none of Sheridan’s other shows—including Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness, and Bass Reeves—have ever connected to the Dutton family.

Season 5B of Yellowstone is expected to premiere on November 10. The remaining episodes will reportedly end the Dutton saga for the flagship series, before the story continues on in another form. At the moment, it sounds like 2024 will remain up in the air. TVLine reports that production on The Madison is slated to begin later this month, with a tentative premiere in 2025. If all this proves true, get ready to meet the Clyburns.
