- Michelle Pfeiffer cast for "The Madison"
Rumors have been circulating for some time about a planned "Yellowstone" sequel series. The show, which has so far starred Hollywood star Kevin Costner (69) in the lead role, will conclude with the second half of the fifth season later this year. The follow-up project, which was initially known under the working title "2024", is now taking shape. As reported by the US industry magazine "Variety", screen legend Michelle Pfeiffer (66) will take on the lead role.**
"Yellowstone" successor "The Madison" is coming
The title of the new series, which is set in the present and is likely to chronologically continue where "Yellowstone" left off, has also been revealed. It is called: "The Madison". Pfeiffer plays a New Yorker who moves to the rural US state of Montana with her family. They settle in the Madison River valley in central Montana. According to Paramount, which is behind the production, "The Madison" offers an honest look at "grief and human connection".
With the now officially confirmed casting of Pfeiffer and the revelation of the series title, there are finally concrete details about the "Yellowstone" successor. In the past, it was initially reported that Matthew McConaughey (54) could take on the lead role. Recently, the names of veteran star Kurt Russell (73) and "Suits" actor Patrick J. Adams (42) have also been circulating for the series cast. It remains to be seen if they will also be officially confirmed in the coming days.
The neo-Western show "Yellowstone" was one of the most successful drama series on US TV in recent years. The production by series creator Taylor Sheridan (54), a former actor who has since turned to screenwriting, has already spawned two spin-offs. "1883" is set in the year of its title and follows a wagon train of settlers. In "1923", it's about another generation of the Dutton family, who in the 1920s, among other things, fight against Prohibition and the economic decline of the country.
