- Premieres on Paramount+ on March 14- Season 1 consists of six episodes, no release schedule confirmed- Stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt Russell, Patrick J. Adams and Elle Chapman- Described as "a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana"- Season 2 already renewed

Saddle up, lads. Taylor Sheridan never misses a day of work in his life, and that means we have more of his TV shows than we know what to do with. Landman season 2 might have finished, but new Yellowstone spinoff The Madison is only a few weeks away.

"There are parallels in the scope of landscape and a human being's place in that space, but it's coming at it from a completely different point of view."

Intrigue! We don't exactly know how the two shows ties together, but that doesn't mean we're completely in the dark. For the full debrief before The Madison hits Paramount+, read on.

The Madison release date

The Madison | Date Announcement | Paramount+ - YouTube The Madison | Date Announcement | Paramount+ - YouTube Watch On

The Madison is only a few weeks away at the time of writing, set to premiere on March 14.

We know that season 1 will be comprised of six episodes, but we currently don't know how many will drop on debut day, or when the others will be released. If you ask me, my money is on a one-episode premiere, with weekly drops thereafter.

Remember, season 2 of The Madison has already been greenlit, so we won't be left without for too long.

The Madison trailer: is there one?

Sadly, no. The above date announcement video and first-look images are all we've got so far, but I'd expect a full trailer to drop at some point in February.

In other words, keep your eyes peeled.

As you might expect, the cast of The Madison is absolutely star-studded. Our main players are the Clayburn family, with other regular roles listed fitting into their lives.

  • Danielle Vasinova as Kestrel
  • Ben Schnetzer as Van
  • Rebecca Spence as Liliana
  • Will Arnett as Stacy's therapist

If the date announcement teaser video is anything to go by, Stacy Clyburn appears to be living in Montana with her family in search of a fresh start after suffering an unknown tragedy in New York City. How important everyone else is remains to be seen, but we do know a little bit about them.

  • Stacy Clyburn, a formidable NYC matriarch and mother of Paige and Abigail
  • Preston Clyburn, Stacy's husband and patriarch of the family
  • Russell McIntosh, an investment banker and husband of Paige who has followed the life path set out for him from the start 
  • Paige McIntosh, the somewhat self-centered New Yorker wife of Russell, an investment banker
  • Abigail Reese, a sardonic New Yorker and divorced mother of two
  • Brigitte Reese, Abigail's oldest daughter
  • Macy Reese, Abigail's youngest daughter
  • Paul, a self-reliant bachelor who loves the outdoors
  • Cade, Stacy's new neighbor charged with looking after her new house 
  • Kestrel, an indigenous woman married to a Montana rancher 
  • Van, a salt-of-the-earth and neighborly Montana rancher
  • Liliana, Stacy's friend and fellow member of the NYC elite

I'd expect even more new characters to be announced for the show's second season.

The Madison plot

Here's the official logline for The Madison: "a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana."

You might remember that the show was originally called Yellowstone 2024, with Matthew McConaughey rumored to be in the starring role. The project then changed names to simply Madison, with ties to McConaughey seemingly halted.

At this stage, the working synopsis indicated that the show would follow "wealthy matriarch Stacy Clayburn and her family as they leave New York City and head to Montana in the wake of her husband and brother-in-law's tragic deaths in a plane crash."

It's unclear exactly how much of this previous synopsis might be true, nor do its ties to the main Yellowstone series have any clarity. No casting for McConaughey was ever confirmed.

Where does The Madison fit into the Yellowstone timeline?

Obviously, we're racking up a fair few Yellowstone series now. If you wanted to watch them all in chronological order, this is where The Madison fits in:

  • 1883
  • 1923
  • 1944 (unreleased)
  • Yellowstone
  • Dutton Ranch (releasing in 2026)
  • Y: Marshals (releasing on March 2)
  • The Madison
  • 6666 (unreleased)

We're doing a little bit of guesswork when it comes to everything after Yellowstone, as it's assumed direct spinoffs Y: Marshals and Dutton Ranch will pick up exactly where Yellowstone left off.

We know for definite that The Madison takes place after Yellowstone... we're just not exactly sure how long after.

1944 is unreleased, but its title tells us everything we need to know about its spinoff placement. 6666 is what we know the least about, but it is pronounced 'Four Sixes'. Former Yellowstone rancher Jimmy Hurdstorm (Jeffrey White) is expect to be sent there to learn how to be a cowboy, which could happen at any point in time.
