The next chapter in the Yellowstone universe is here.
On Thursday, August 8, Paramount announced that Michelle Pfeiffer will produce and star in the latest spinoff from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, titled The Madison. The series was previously named 2024.
The Madison will follow a New York City family living in the Madison River valley of central Montana, and is a “heartfelt study of grief and human connection,” per the release.
“Michelle Pfeiffer is a remarkable talent who imbues every role with emotional depth, authenticity and grace,” Chris McCarthy, the co-CEO of Paramount Global and President/CEO of Showtime & 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.”
The Madison is the seventh spinoff from the Kevin Costner-led series, which premiered in 2018 and will debut its final season in November – though Costner has confirmed he will not be part of the second half of season 5 following rumors of his exit.
The first spinoff, 1883, was a prequel series starring Faith Hill and Tim McGraw as the Dutton family’s 19th-century ancestors, James and Margaret Dutton, on their journey from Texas to Montana through the Great Plains.
Lawmen: Bass Reeves is a limited series – with no set premiere date as of yet – that merged with 1883 and will star David Oyelowo as the titular iconic lawman.
1923 is another prequel series from Taylor Sheridan, which saw Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford star as Cara Dutton and Jacob Dutton and chronicled the family’s trek to Montana. It originally premiered in 2022, and was later renewed for a second season, with both Mirren and Ford confirmed to return.
There are several other spinoffs that have been confirmed but few details are available, including 6666, pronounced “Four Sixes,” a Matthew McConaughey-led spinoff that was confirmed to be “moving forward” in April 2023 and 1944, another prequel series that would tell the story of the Dutton family in that year.
1883, 1923 and Yellowstone can be streamed on the Paramount Network.
