Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone spin-off has found its lead actress. Michelle Pfeiffer will star in Madison, the spin-off previously titled 2024 that will serve as some type of continuation for the flagship series in the franchise once it concludes its final season later this year.
Madison is “a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.”
There are no details yet on Pfeiffer’s character. Though not yet confirmed, Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight) and Patrick J. Adams (Suits) are in talks to star alongside Pfeiffer in the upcoming series.
“Michelle Pfeiffer is a remarkable talent who imbues every role with emotional depth, authenticity and grace,” said Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO, Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios. “She is the perfect anchor to the newest chapter of the Yellowstone universe, Madison, from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan.”
Madison will be executive produced by Sheridan, Pfieffer, David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Christina Voros, Michael Friedman and Keith Cox.

Yellowstone returns this fall with Season 5 Part Two, concluding its run. The final season has been met with a few production problems, most notably last year’s dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes which delayed work for several months and Kevin Costner’s premature departure from the series. He confirmed last month that despite his hopes to star as John Dutton in some capacity for the final episodes, his schedule on his Horizon films has prevented him from doing so.
There is no word as of yet when Madison will begin production. However, Yellowstone will return for Season 5 Part Two on November 10th.
