Michelle Pfeiffer has been announced as the latest addition to the 'Yellowstone' franchise, set to star in and executive produce the upcoming spinoff series 'Madison.' The show, previously known as '2024,' is described as a heartfelt exploration of grief and human connection, following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.
In a statement, Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO of Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios, praised Pfeiffer as a remarkable talent known for bringing emotional depth, authenticity, and grace to her roles. He expressed confidence in her ability to anchor the newest chapter of the Yellowstone universe, created by the acclaimed writer Taylor Sheridan.
'Madison' is the latest addition to Sheridan's expanding TV franchise, which already includes the prequels '1883' and '1923,' with additional series in the works. The news of Pfeiffer's involvement comes amidst Kevin Costner's announcement on social media that he will not be returning to the hit show 'Yellowstone' for Season 5b and beyond.
Other notable stars in the Yellowstone universe include Tim McGraw and Faith Hill in '1883' and Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford in '1923.' Fans can look forward to the highly anticipated return of 'Yellowstone' on November 10, as the franchise continues to captivate audiences with its compelling storytelling and talented ensemble cast.
