The Madison debuted with a semi-binge release, rolling out three episodes on launch and three more a week later, and quickly drew about 8 million global views, becoming Paramount+’s biggest original Sheridan series premiere.

Production on Season 2 has been completed, though Paramount+ has not announced an official premiere date yet.

Fresh off Season 1’s success, The Madison was renewed for a third season at Paramount+ less than a month after Season 1 ended, signaling strong performance for the series.

Michelle Pfeiffer filmed her parts before Kurt Russell was cast, and their schedules had to be coordinated around Russell’s commitments to other projects.

The series centers on the Clyburn and Preston families as they move from New York to Montana after a devastating accident, exploring grief, resilience, and the search for connection.

Created by Taylor Sheridan, The Madison is a family grief drama set between Montana and Manhattan, focusing on Pfeiffer’s Stacy Clyburn and the fallout from Preston’s death in a plane crash.

The show follows a wealthy Montana–New York family, the Prestons, as they navigate transformation after tragedy in the Madison River Valley, with the narrative split between Montana and New York City.

Key cast includes Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy and Kurt Russell as Preston, with a supporting lineup that features Beau Garrett, Elle Chapman, Patrick J. Adams, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack, Ben Schnetzer, Kevin Zegers, Rebecca Spence, Danielle Vasinova, Matthew Fox, and Will Arnett.

Season 1’s ensemble also included Matthew Fox and Will Arnett, though Fox would not return for Season 2; Matthew McConaughey had been previously attached to the project.

The broader cast list for Season 1 spans Pfeiffer, Russell, Adams, Chapman, Fox, Garrett, Pollack, Miller, and others, with changes anticipated for future seasons.

Industry observers have suggested Taylor Sheridan’s shows, including The Madison, may attract Emmy attention, highlighting Pfeiffer’s acclaimed performance.

Production adjustments allowed Russell’s Season 1 involvement to be integrated into Season 2 filming, due to scheduling with other projects.
