WIth Kevin Costner’s exit bringing Yellowstone to an end, the franchise has plenty of time to work on sequels, prequels, and much desired spinoffs.
Now, TVLine reports that the spinoff, formerly known as 2024, will be titled The Madison. Russell, Pfeiffer, and Adams are all nearing deals to star in the series, which will follow the matriarch of the Clyburn clan, Stacy, as she moves her family to Montana after her husband and brother-in-law die in a plane crash.

New Report Claims The Madison Is Distinct From The Yellowstone Sequel Show
After TVLine broke the story about The Madison, a new report from Puck's Matt Belloni claims that the spinoff was inaccurately conflated with the previously announced Yellowstone sequel show. Michelle Pfeiffer was once considered for the female lead in the latter series, which Belloni identifies as the likely source of confusion. He also claims that, while The Madison is likely to be part of the Yellowstone universe, that is not yet guaranteed.
His report confirms that Yellowstone stars Cole Ha, Kelly Reilly, and Luke Grimes will return for the sequel show, but Matthew McConaughey, who was originally reported to be in talks for the lead role, is now unlikely to be involved.
The Madison Could Keep Yellowstone Alive
A Contemporary Spinoff Is Exactly What The Franchise Needs
Though Yellowstone has found success in spinoffs like 1883 and 1923, the inherent appeal of the flagship show is its modern setting mixed with its cowboy attitude. Continuing that in the modern day will be key to the future success of the franchise, which has been mired in drama due to Kevin Costner's exit from the flagship series. Despite Costner's exit, though, there are reports that certain Yellowstone cast will return in a future spinoff, though it's unclear if that will be in The Madison or another series.
Now, it sounds like the Clyburn clan will embody the fish-out-of-water dynamic that the series cites so often.
What is clear is that The Madison will add a new dynamic to the show's formula. Yellowstone has poked fun at city slickers attempting to wrangle the cowboy ethos, but the show has always been about the Duttons protecting their land from those very people, among others. Now, it sounds like the Clyburn clan will embody the fish-out-of-water dynamic that the series cites so often. How they might be connected to the Duttons remains unclear, but it will be interesting to see how The Madison will bridge the gap between itself and Yellowstone.

With TVLine reporting that filming is set to begin this year and a 2025 release being eyed, it seems that Paramount is intent on maintaining momentum for the franchise after Yellowstone ends. Other series, like 1944 and 6666, are currently in development, too, but it seems like the network may be fast-tracking The Madison to ensure that interest remains high. It was already clear that the Yellowstone franchise wasn't going anywhere, but with stars like Russell, Pfeiffer, and Adams at the forefront of a new series, the series could once again find itself back on top despite a tumultuous ending for the original show.
