Is 'The Madison' Still Connected to 'Yellowstone'?

"The Madison features a new family, The Clyburns, who move from New York City to the Madison River valley in central Montana following the death of the family patriarch, Preston Clyburn (Russell). It remains unclear why Preston's widow, Stacy (Pfeiffer), relocates, but the character states in the trailer that she's on a journey to heal following his passing. Arnett plays Stacy's therapist, Deadline reports, while Matthew Fox plays Stacy's brother-in-law, Paul Clyburn."

"According to Paramount, The Madison is Sheridan's most intimate work to date. The six-episode series is described as a heartfelt study of grief and human connection, with the teaser showcasing spectacular views of the Montana mountain range and a good amount of fishing. Helmed by former Yellowstone season 5 director Christina Alexandra Voros, The Madison teaser also announced a premiere date of Saturday, March 14."

"Oddly, the teaser and the accompanying press release did not mention anything about The Madison's previously rumored connection to the Yellowstone franchise. Though the series was originally teased as another Yellowstone spin-off alongside Dutton Ranch, Marshals, and 1944, The Madison now feels like its own entity entirely. In November 2024, Voros did say in an interview with Variety that the series seemed to be moving further away from any direct connection to the Yellowstone-verse."

Will Arnett plays Stacy's therapist and Matthew Fox plays her brother-in-law, Paul Clyburn. Paramount describes the series as Sheridan's most intimate work and a heartfelt study of grief and human connection. Christina Alexandra Voros directed the teaser, which announced a March 14 premiere.
