Michelle Pfeiffer Joined The Madison Cast Despite Not Reading a Script

The family drama follows the Clyburns relocating from NYC to Montana for healing after a tragedy, starring Michelle Pfeiffer with Taylor Sheridan as creator and executive producer.

  • Michelle Pfeiffer headlines Taylor Sheridan's Paramount+ series The Madison as family matriarch Stacy Clyburn, who relocates from Manhattan to the Madison River valley of southwest Montana after a tragedy.
  • Michelle Pfeiffer accepted the role without reading a script, citing Sheridan's track record, and Sheridan and Pfeiffer, both executive producers, delayed shooting Kurt Russell's season 1 scenes to fit schedules.
  • A veteran ensemble including Kurt Russell, Patrick J. Adams, Matthew Fox, Beau Garrett, Amiah Miller, Ben Schnetzer and Kevin Zegers anchors the cast, and The Madison marks Michelle Pfeiffer's first of two major TV shows this year.
  • Early episodes dwell on Stacy's grief, which Pfeiffer says persisted through the six-day arc, while Abigail, a divorced mother of two, struggles to hold the family together.
  • Russell's remarks have stoked awards buzz, with talk that attention could fall on Pfeiffer, whose casting adds prestige as The Madison filmed two seasons, Russell said in January.
