Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell star in the upcoming series “The Madison” in a first-look reveal.
Prior to taking most of 2026 off, Pfeiffer filmed the “Yellowstone” spinoff, which is a “heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana,” according to a synopsis of the show.
Aside from Pfeiffer and Russell, “The Madison” stars Beau Garrett, Elle Chapman, Patrick J. Adams, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack, Ben Schnetzer, Kevin Zegers, Rebecca Spence, Danielle Vasinova and Matthew Fox.

Pfeiffer told Fox News Digital in November that her priorities have shifted now that she’s a grandmother, and she plans on not working as much in 2026.
“Well, I mean, look, I am feeling very blessed for the opportunities that are presenting themselves to me and loving the work. I’ve been like working with incredible cast members in all three things that I’ve done recently. Great directors, great material. However, little did I know my daughter was planning on getting pregnant, which she did successfully,” Pfeiffer said.

“And, lo and behold, here I am working a lot. So, I think I’m going to have probably most of next year off, which I’m really looking forward to. Look, it’s an embarrassment of riches, honestly. It’s like, ‘Wah.’ I’m just really wanting my choices and the way I spend my time — whatever time I have left — to spend it meaningfully is what I’m focusing on.”
In the first stills that have been released, Pfeiffer is seen sitting in a wooden rocking chair on a porch. Pfeiffer’s character, Stacy Clyburn, is described as the “heart of the family.” She is holding a book in the shot.
Another image shows Pfeiffer holding a coffee mug and wearing an oversized utility jacket in a field.
In another image, Russell’s character, Preston Clyburn, is sitting on a tree stump looking off into the distance. Other stills show Russell with Fox fly-fishing in a stream in Montana.
Schnetzer stars as Van Davis, a sheriff in Montana. One image shows him in a vest with a gun, wearing blue jeans and a sheriff’s hat.

A press release for the series says “The Madison” is “a profound love story channeled through a deeply personal family drama about resilience and transformation.” It also mentioned that this is Taylor Sheridan’s “most intimate work to date.”
The series unfolds “across two distinct worlds — the beautiful landscape of Montana and the vibrant energy of Manhattan — as it examines the ties that bind families together,” the release stated.
In August 2024, Pfeiffer announced she had been cast in the series and would also serve as an executive producer.
