Paramount+ has renewed the new drama series The Madison for a second season, with production already completed. The show's stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Taylor Sheridan were instrumental in getting the network to order additional episodes to accommodate the filming schedule of actor Kurt Russell, who plays a key role. The cast, including Ben Schnetzer, Patrick J. Adams, and Beau Garrett, have expressed excitement about continuing the story of the Clyburn family.

Why it matters

The Madison has quickly become a hit for Paramount+, drawing in viewers familiar with Taylor Sheridan's work on shows like Yellowstone. The renewal signals the network's confidence in the series and its ability to attract and retain an audience, especially with the addition of a major star like Kurt Russell for the second season.

The details

Filming for the second season of The Madison has already wrapped, with the cast and crew able to shoot both seasons back-to-back. This was done to accommodate Kurt Russell's schedule, as he was committed to filming the second season of the Paramount+ series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters at the same time. The full main cast, including Michelle Pfeiffer, Ben Schnetzer, Patrick J. Adams, and Beau Garrett, are expected to return, with the exception of Matthew Fox who had a contained role in the first season.

  • The Madison premiered its first season on Paramount+ on March 14, 2026.
  • Filming for the second season of The Madison has recently concluded.
  • The release date for The Madison season 2 has not yet been announced.

What they’re saying

“We shot season 2 already. We just wrapped it not long ago, and I'm incredibly excited to share both seasons with an audience. It was a real thrill to be able to come back and revisit these characters and revisit this story, and revisit this beautiful landscape that we filmed in.”

— Ben Schnetzer, Actor

“I did the second season of Monarch [Legacy of Monsters], the Apple TV+ show, and unfortunately for me, the timing was when Madison came around. And I said, 'There's just no way to do it,' because I was working on this show.”

— Kurt Russell

“any time you get a show together with a cast like this, you kind of want it to go forever. And I think having completed the second season, you just fall more and more in love with them as a family. What's interesting about it is that it's very much going to resonate with people who have been watching shows in the Yellowstone-verse for a very long time, but it's also going to draw in people who would not necessarily gravitate to the more muscular and masculine action-driven content of some of Taylor's bigger shows like Yellowstone or Lioness.”

— Christina Voros, Executive Producer

What’s next

Paramount+ has not yet announced a release date for the second season of The Madison, but fans can expect the new episodes to premiere sometime in 2027.

The takeaway

The renewal of The Madison for a second season demonstrates the show's growing popularity and Paramount+'s commitment to expanding Taylor Sheridan's storytelling universe beyond the Yellowstone franchise. The addition of Kurt Russell to the cast for the new season is an exciting development that should help draw in even more viewers.
