Sheridan will write “The Madison,” which follows a family from New York who live in the Madison River Valley of central Montana, according to the Paramount Network, via Variety.
The network described “The Madison” as a “heartfelt study of grief and human connection.”
Is “The Madison” a “Yellowstone” spin-off?
Although the upcoming series is considered a “spin-off” of “Yellowstone,” Voros told Variety that this series is different from the original western, which starred Kevin Costner.
“It’s such a different story. The one thing in common is the landscape,” she told the outlet in November.

“We’re in Montana, but we’re looking at it from a completely different perspective. So it feels like another side of this cut stone that’s been polished. There are parallels in the scope of the landscape and the place of the human being in this space, but we approach it from a completely different point of view.”
The cast
In August, Paramount announced that Pfeiffer would play the lead role in “The Madison.”
“Michelle Pfeiffer is a remarkable talent who imbues each role with emotional depth, authenticity and grace. She is the perfect anchor for the new chapter in the Yellowstone universe, The Madison, from the mind brilliant by Taylor Sheridan,” Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount Global and chairman and CEO of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios, said in a statement to Variety at the time.
