Kurt Russell Joins ‘Yellowstone’ Spinoff Series ‘The Madison’

Kurt Russell is saddling up for Yellowstone spinoff series, The Madison.

The Emmy and Golden Globe nominee has joined the forthcoming series, from Taylor Sheridan and starring Michelle Pfeiffer, as both a castmember and executive producer.

Previously announced cast includes Patrick J. Adams, Elle Chapman, Matthew Fox, Beau Garrett, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack, Ben Schnetzer, Rebecca Spence, Danielle Vasinova and Kevin Zegers.

The Yellowstone universe has no signs of slowing down following the likely series finale of the flagship that aired back in December 2024. The Madison is one of several spinoff series currently in production, also including CBS’ Y: Marshals, starring Luke Grimes reprising his role as Kayce Dutton in the fall, and Paramount+’s Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler spinoff, Dutton Ranch (working title), which returns Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser to their roles and doesn’t yet have a premiere date. Another prequel, 1944, is in development following the likely conclusion of 1923.

The Madison is a modern-day spinoff with little known about how the characters will relate to the main Dutton family of the flagship series. Here is the official logline: “The series is a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.”

Michelle Randolph, who married into the Dutton family on Dutton prequel series 1923 as Elizabeth, mused about if her character could crossover to The Madison, given how her story ended. “I don’t know a ton about The Madison,” she told The Hollywood Reporter after the 1923 ender, “but I know they come from the East Coast. I so I’m like, is there some sort of web [connecting] Elizabeth?”

Russell joins the growing list of A-list talent within Sheridan’s Yellowstone-verse, also including Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren on 1923 and Ed Harris, newly cast in Dutton Ranch.

The movie star known for Overboard, Tequila Sunrise and The Hateful Eight to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is currently starring in the Apple TV+ series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters alongside his son, Wyatt Russell. He is repped by UTA.

The Madison is executive produced by Sheridan, David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Christina Voros, Michael Friedman, Pfeiffer, Russell and Keith Cox, and is produced by Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios and Bosque Ranch Productions.
