Paramount+ announce release date for new Yellowstone spin-off, The Madison, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell

The Madison is finally starting to step out of the shadows, and Paramount+ is making sure fans of the Yellowstone universe are paying attention.

The streamer has released a moody 30-second teaser that offers a tantalising glimpse of Taylor Sheridan’s latest expansion. The short preview leans heavily on atmosphere rather than plot, hinting at emotional fractures, unspoken histories, and the vast contrast between wide-open Montana landscapes and the charged intensity of New York City. It’s a quiet but confident introduction, signalling that this series is aiming for something more intimate than its predecessors.

Premiering Saturday, March 14, The Madison unfolds across six episodes and centres on the Clyburn family, New Yorkers who find themselves living in Montana’s Madison River valley. While it remains unclear whether they are directly connected to the Duttons of Yellowstone, the show is firmly rooted in the same thematic terrain. Paramount+ describes the series as a “heartfelt study of grief and human connection,” framing it as a profound love story told through a deeply personal family drama. Sheridan has reportedly positioned The Madison as some of his most emotionally grounded work yet – less about land wars and legacy battles, and more about resilience, loss, and the ties that hold families together across distance and trauma.

That emotional weight is matched by an impressive cast. Alongside Michelle Pfeiffer, the series reunites her with Tequila Sunrise cohort Kurt Russell, and an expansive ensemble, including Patrick J. Adams, Matthew Fox, Kevin Zegers, Ben Schnetzer, Beau Garrett, Elle Chapman, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack, Rebecca Spence, and Danielle Vasinova, among others. With its dual settings – Montana’s sweeping natural beauty and Manhattan’s restless pulse – The Madison looks poised to carve out its own identity within the Yellowstone universe, offering a quieter, more reflective chapter when it arrives this March.
