Michelle Pfeiffer goes to the ranch.
The three-time Oscar nominee will star in and executive produce a “Yellowstone” spinoff series titled “Madison,” from creator Taylor Sheridan.
The show, previously in development under the title “2024,” follows a New York City family in the Madison River Valley of central Montana. According to Paramount, “the series is a heartfelt study of grief and human connection.”
“Michelle Pfeiffer is a remarkable talent who imbues every role with emotional depth, authenticity and grace. She is the perfect anchor for the newest chapter of the ‘Yellowstone’ universe, ‘Madison,’ from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan,” said Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount Global and president and CEO of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios .
“Madison” is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Bosque Ranch Productions. Executive producers include Sheridan, David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Christina Voros, Michael Friedman, Michelle Pfeiffer and Keith Cox.
“Madison” joins “Yellowstone” spinoffs “1883” and “1923” – with more series set in the television universe in development.
Meanwhile, the final batch of “Yellowstone” episodes – without Kevin Costner – arrives on Paramount+ on November 10. Costner, the star of “Yellowstone” for its first five and a half seasons, left the series due to Paramount’s choice to split Season 5 into two parts, which the actor said disrupted his work on his four-part Western film series “Horizon.” . : An American saga.” As “Yellowstone” was filming its final episodes, Costner still expressed a desire to conclude his arc as ranch owner patriarch John Dutton, but he and the network were ultimately unable to come to an agreement.
