The ‘Yellowstone’ sequel is putting together a pretty excellent cast

The series, which is titled The Madison, will follow a New York family in Montana.

Yellowstone has been such a massive show that it only made sense for us to get as many spin-offs of it as possible. The series, which tells the story of a ranching family in Montana and their struggles to maintain control over their land, became one of the biggest shows on TV and then sort of imploded after star Kevin Costner said he would not be returning.

Now, plans are in place for a sequel series to Yellowstone called The Madison. Now, we’re learning about all of the big names that have been attached to this new project from Yellowstone mastermind Taylor Sheridan. Michelle Pfeiffer joined the cast in early August, and Suits star Patrick J. Adams is now set to join her. Adams is best known for playing Mike Ross on the legal drama, and here, he’ll play Russell McIntosh. The description of his character suggests that McIntosh simply followed the life path that was set before him.

The final episodes of Yellowstone are set to premiere on Nov. 10, and The Madison seems like it will attempt to ride the wave of its predecessor’s success. The show will follow a New York City family as they contend with Montana’s Madison River Family, as well as the problem they brought there with them.

Elle Chapman and Beau Garrett are also set to join the cast, playing Paige McIntosh and Abigail Reese, respectively. Paige is a woman accustomed to the finer things in life, and Reese is a recently divorced mother of two. The exact details of The Madison‘s plot have not been unveiled yet, but given the cast they’ve assembled, it looks like it might be a worthy successor to Yellowstone.

8 must-see shows like The Righteous Gemstones
This dark comedy is hard to copy, but we have some similar hits
Arden Myrin, Walton Goggins, and Valyn Hall

The Righteous Gemstones just launched its fourth and final season on HBO and Max, and fans are buzzing about the series' potential to have a historically great final run. With a score of 91 on Metacritic, analysts are rejoicing at the return of television's most famous current evangelical family. Starring and created by Danny McBride, this show is a tragically humorous look into the darkness of cults as the Gemstone family fights one another while trying to stay relevant as a religious entity. Other great actors include John Goodman, Walton Goggins, and Adam DeVine.

There aren't many shows on TV that have ever been quite like The Righteous Gemstones. The show understands the hypocrisies of organized religion while also playing into the family drama that's included in staying devoted to a deity. Over-the-top humor and a huge courage to not shy away from controversial humor make the series a completely unique story. Even if there's no perfect parallel, there are similar shows to indulge in between episodes. These are the best shows like The Righteous Gemstones you need to watch right away.

‘Tulsa King’ is coming back for a third season with another new showrunner
The series is one of the most successful shows in the history of Paramount+
Sylvester Stallone in Tulsa King

The executives at Paramount have been pretty open about how much Tulsa King has meant for the company's TV success, so it's perhaps no surprise that the show is set to return for a third season. The show is already filming its third season in Atlanta and Oklahoma, and The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Dave Erickson will take over as the show's sole showrunner for the third season.

Erickson is also serving as showrunner on Mayor of Kingstown, another Taylor Sheridan series, and recently signed a multiyear overall deal with MTV Entertainment Studios. Terence Winter and Craig Zisk, who essentially split showrunning duties on the second season, with Winter serving as the writer and Zisk as the producer, don't seem to be returning for the next season.

Paradise season 2: Everything we know so far
The Hulu political thriller has already been renewed for a second season
James Marsden in Paradise

Paradise looked like it could be something special from the jump. It stars Sterling K. Brown as a secret service agent who forms a bond with the President of the United States across a several-year stretch by his side. One day, the Commander in Chief is found dead in his room and Brown's character becomes the immediate number-one suspect because of his strained relationship with the President and his proximity to the investigation. The show isn't just a race to identify the murderer, though. The plot is also set against a dystopian backdrop as the main characters live under an experimental dome in Colorado under a new type of governmental regime.

The series became a hit and one of the best original series on Hulu shortly after its premiere in January 2025. Released on a weekly basis and with the conclusion to season one not even final yet, the streamer renewed Paradise for season 2. While we've already covered the shows you can watch that are just like Paradise, sometimes you don't want a replica. We've got you covered there, too. This is everything we know about Paradise season 2 so far, from the potential release schedule to the actors who will be returning for the sophomore effort on Hulu.
