Secretive ‘Yellowstone’ Spinoff ‘The Madison’ Officially Sets 2026 Premiere Date

For fans that have been patiently awaiting a substantial update on when the The Madison will premiere… we’ve finally got one.

Taylor Sheridan and the rest of the crew handling this particular Yellowstone spinoff have been going about things differently than a normal television series would. What do I mean by that? Well, The Madison has already wrapped on both Season 1 and Season 2… and fans haven’t seen a single episode of either.

With the Yellowstone creator’s track record, Sheridan is probably one of the only people in the industry that can shoot whatever he wants, wherever he wants, however he wants, without any official orders. And that’s what he’s been doing with The Madison, which has Michelle Pfeiffer attached, and apparently added Kurt Russell for Season 2 (or both seasons, no one really knows).

As far as plot is concerned, the series is supposed to revolve around the titular character of Stacy Clyburn (played by Pfeiffer), a wealthy matriarch who upends her life in New York City to move her and her family to Montana following a plane crash that kills her husband and brother-in-law.

They began filming the series in Montana in August of 2024, and sources say they shot more for the spinoff in North Texas in November and December of 2024 as well. In fact, David Glasser, the CEO of 101 studios, said that The Madison was set to start shooting its second season back in October of 2025… despite the first season not airing as of yet, and there not being an official order for the second season.

Then at the end of November (sorry to bombard you with updates, but you did click on this story), there were reports that Kurt Russell was in Dallas, Texas, where a portion of the downtown area was shut down to shoot scenes for… you guessed it, The Madison. Collider reported that the scenes that were being shot in downtown Dallas were for the show’s second season, which basically confirmed that production was ongoing for Season 2.

And then, an Instagram stories post from Elle Chaps (who is featured in the cast of the upcoming spinoff) shared back on December 20 that The Madison had wrapped filming:

“And that’s a wrap on Season 2. Heart is full.”

So to recap, The Madison has shot both Seasons 1 and 2, Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell are attached (but Russell is probably only in Season 2), and there’s no confirmed premiere date for either season… until now.

Paramount+ put out a “This Year On Paramount+” teaser video, and through that, we now know that The Madison will premiere sometime in 2026. We still don’t know when exactly, but the footage that was included from the secretive spinoff said “Streaming Soon.” Since “soon” is a loose term, that could mean The Madison comes out next month, or this summer (or later)… and there’s no word on whether or not Season 1 and Season 2 will be split up, or if they could both air this year.

It’s very intriguing that they’ve kept the public in the dark about The Madison for so long. The show has been rumored for years now, and they’ve managed to shoot two entire seasons without any leaks or information getting out. We still don’t even know for certain how this spinoff will fit into the expansive Yellowstone universe.

All we really do know – besides a premiere in 2026 – is that some other talented actors and actresses besides Pfeiffer and Russell are set to be included in the cast. Danielle Vasinova, Ben Schnetzer, Patrick J. Adams, Beau Garrett, Amiah Miller, and the aforementioned Elle Chapman are all also in The Madison, and it’ll be exciting to meet all of their characters when we eventually get to see the series.

You can see how Paramount+ confirmed that the Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton’s spinoff will be called Dutton Ranch, and that The Madison will premiere sometime this year, in the video below teasing everything that’s coming to the streaming service in 2026:
