Yellowstone Gets a Michelle Pfeiffer Upgrade

Hollywood News: Michelle Pfeiffer is set to star in the Yellowstone sequel series. The show starring Pfeiffer will be titled The Madison. It's described as a heartfelt study of grief and human connection. 

Following a New York City family in the Madison River Valley of central Montana, Pfeiffer will also executive produce the new series from franchise boss Taylor Sheridan.

It will be the next show to roll out in the Yellowstone universe. Chris McCarthy, paramount global co-CEO and president and CEO of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios, said Michelle Pfeiffer is a remarkable talent who imbues every role with emotional depth, authenticity, and grace.

She is the perfect anchor to the newest chapter of the Yellowstone universe, Madison, from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan.

The Oscar-nominated actress is the latest star to join the Yellowstoneverse, following Harrison Ford and Helen Miran leading the Yellowstone prequel series in 1923. Another Yellowstone spin-off set in 1944 is also in the works, and we'll follow in the footsteps of 1883 and 1923. Meanwhile, the Yellowstone flagship series launches its highly anticipated, long-delayed final episodes beginning November 10th.

Now we need Chris Pine to join her, as the Yellowstone creator was the same guy behind "Hell or High Water, because he wrote the script for that excellent movie. One of my favorite things. That's been on television for the last bunch of years. Some people call it Godfather on horseback. Some people call it sons of anarchy on horseback. Whatever your comparison of choice is, the show has been absolutely phenomenal. Now. Obviously, there's a lot of change going on.

We got a new kind of continuation of the series coming. But they're going to give it a new name. Even though a lot of the same characters are coming over. Matthew McCon is going to be leading that; we also have an entire Yellowstone universe.
