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.

Kate Winslet’s next TV show will be a relationship drama for Hulu
Winslet is coming off of the relative failure that was The Regime for HBO.

For most of her career, Kate Winslet has been a movie star. Thanks to her roles in Titanic and Avatar: The Way of Water, she's actually one of the most bankable movie stars of all time. More recently, though, Winslet moved over to TV for a starring role in Mare of Easttown (one of the best shows on Max) and, before that, for Mildred Pierce in 2011. Winslet's performance in that series, where she played a small-town Pennsylvania cop, earned her plenty of acclaim and accolades, including an Emmy.

Now, Winslet is set to return to the world of TV for a new show called The Spot, according to reporting in Variety. The series was written by Ed Solomon and is being produced by A24 for Hulu. According to the show's official logline: "When a successful surgeon (Winslet) and her schoolteacher husband begin to suspect that she may be responsible for a child’s hit-and-run death, their quest for truth spirals into a web of mounting suspicion and dark secrets, testing their resolve and their relationship as they confront the possibility of hidden guilt and betrayal.”

Few shows have had a stranger and more arduous journey to their current status than True Detective. The show has gone through multiple directors and has seen to be on the verge of total extinction at several different points over the course of its run. True Detective: Night Country signaled the show's revival, though, and it actually earned the best ratings for any season of the show.

Following the success of Night Country, many wanted to know whether True Detective would get another season at HBO. The show was renewed almost immediately, which has only fueled further speculation about the season and what it might contain.
