What Happened to Taylor Sheridan's Michelle Pfeiffer-Led Drama ‘The Madison'?
While Yellowstone might be gone, the Yellowstone universe and its creator, Taylor Sheridan, are thriving. Y: Marshals, a CBS series centered on Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes), is currently in production with a planned 2025–26 midseason premiere. A new Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) show (rumored to be titled Dutton Ranch), is also in the works, while 6666 was announced as another spinoff. Meanwhile, series such as Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown continue to keep Sheridan's name at the forefront of the television landscape. But one show that doesn't seem to have much traction is The Madison(originally titled 2024). The last update on Sheridan's Montana-centered drama came in October 2024, when Y: The Last Man alum Ben Schnetzer was cast as 'a rancher,' sparking speculation about whether he might be playing The Madison's very own version of Rip Wheeler. Prior to that announcement, the high-profile series from Sheridan boasted a big name cast, including star Michelle Pfeiffer, Lost alum Matthew Fox, Patrick J. Adams of Suits, Firefly Lane alum Beau Garrett, Amiah Miller, and newcomer Elle Chapman. Kurt Russell was also been rumored to be attached to the series, though that casting appears to have halted. So, what has happened to The Madison? Why has there been no meaningful news since October 2024? Unfortunately, until there's an official announcement from Paramount or Sheridan's camp, fans will have to settle for speculation and keep waiting for any sign that the project is moving forward. Until then, here what we know about the series. What is Yellowstone's The Madison about? Paramount describes The Madison as a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana. 'Michelle Pfeiffer is a remarkable talent who imbues every role with emotional depth, authenticity and grace,' said Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO, Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios when her casting was announced. 'She is the perfect anchor to the newest chapter of the Yellowstone universe, Madison, from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan.' The Madison is executive produced by Sheridan, David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Christina Voros, Michael Friedman, Pfeiffer, and Keith Cox. Yellowstone's The Madison Cast The Madison centers on Pfeiffer as far Stacy Clyburn, a wealthy matriarch who moves her family from New York City to Montana in the wake of a life-changing event. Chapman and Garrett play Pfeiffer's two daughters, Paige McIntosh and Abigail Reese. Adams plays Russell McIntosh, Paige's husband. Fox will star opposite Pfeiffer as Paul, 'a self-reliant bachelor who loves the outdoors,' according to Deadline. Here are the official character descriptions provided by Paramount: Adams will play Russell McIntosh, a young investment banker who has followed the life path set before him from the start. Chapman will play Paige McIntosh, a somewhat self-centered woman who indulges in a luxurious New York lifestyle provided by her parents and investment banker husband. Garrett will play Abigail Reese, a resilient and sardonic New Yorker, who is a recently divorced mother of two. Miller will play Bridgette, Abigail's eldest daughter. The Madison is Chapman's TV debut. Her film debut was in a scene in A Man Called Otto opposite Tom Hanks. Miller recently starred in War for the Planet of the Apes. Schnetzer joins the cast as Van, 'a salt-of-the-earth and neighborly Montana rancher,' per Variety. Van is the first character announced for the series who seems to be from Montana and not a transplant like the other main characters. While we wouldn't describe Cole Hauser's Rip in Yellowstone as neighborly, Van's description most resembles the archetypes viewers already know from the flagship series. Schnetzer is known for starring in Y: The Last Man and was recently seen in Netflix's 3 Body Problem. Yellowstone's The Madison Premiere Date Production on The Madison is reportedly began in August 2024 in Montana, NYC, and Texas. It is unknown when the series with premiere. Will Yellowstone's Original Cast Be in The Madison? When it was known as 2024, The Madison got a series order in Fall 2023 from Paramount and was reportedly going to feature appearances from original Yellowstone cast members Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Luke Grimes. Matthew McConaughey was attached to star. There is no update on whether or not Reilly, Hauser, and Grimes will appear in The Madison.

Is ‘Yellowstone' Spinoff ‘6666' Still Happening?
Jefferson White returned to Yellowstone in the final season (Season 5 Part 2) in fall 2024, bringing with him renewed questions about what's going on with the reported Yellowstone spinoff, 6666 (pronounced four sixes). Based on the ranch that White's Yellowstone character, Jimmy Hurdstrom, moved to in Yellowstone Season 4, 6666 is said to be on the horizon for Taylor Sheridan's TV universe. It's been a long time since there have been any meaningful updates about the series since it was announced by Paramount in February 2021. Two prequels and three present-day spinoffs have been released and announced in the time since — 1883, 1923, Y: Marshals, the Beth and Rip series, and The Madison — and there's reportedly another prequel, 1944, in the works. So, what's up with 6666? Here's everything we could find about the show's movements. Is the 6666 spinoff still happening? As of the time of publication, there's no official word from Paramount about whether 6666 is still in development. The lack of updates could mean that the show has not progressed since it was announced, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not moving forward. The last update was in 2022, when it was announced that 6666 would air on Paramount Network instead of Paramount+ as previously shared. Sheridan is known for writing all of the Yellowstone shows alone. Christina Voros previously told TV Insider that working with Sheridan means understanding that there will sometimes be long stretches of time between updates on a project. 'We don't know until we get the scripts what the story is. And when the time to tell the story is upon us, there will be a script in my inbox,' she said in an interview about the Yellowstone series finale. 'And I will be really happy to saddle up.' 'I honestly don't know how Taylor chooses to tell which stories he chooses to tell when,' she added about 6666 and 1944 specifically. 'I think he has closed a lot of doors on Yellowstone this season. There are obviously characters that we will not see again because they have been dispatched. But I think he has left some doors open, and there's some doors that I can't tell if they're locked or not yet. But we will know when we cross through them.' What is the Yellowstone spinoff 6666 about? 'Founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666,' Paramount's series description said upon its announcement. 'Still operating as it did two centuries before, and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 is where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge in a place where the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing… The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavor to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately where world class cowboys are born and made.' Who is in the 6666 cast? A cast list has not been revealed, but it's been presumed that White would anchor the spinoff given that his fan-favorite Yellowstone character is how the ranch got introduced in the first place. There was a Jimmy-in-Texas-focused episode in Yellowstone Season 4 that felt like a backdoor pilot for 6666, and his improvements as a cowboy and updates on his life in general were a notable part of his return in Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2. The Dutton ranch cowboys also spent a large chunk of months living on the Four Sixes ranch while keeping their cattle safe from the Montana winter in the final season, further laying the groundwork for more Yellowstone characters to appear in this reported spinoff. Jen Landon's Teeter took a job at the Four Sixes in Yellowstone's final episode, opening up the door for her to be a character in this new series, should it be set in the present day. Sheridan's own Yellowstone character, Travis Wheatly, also has ties to that ranch, further implying his interest in expanding his western universe's drama down south. Jimmy's wife, Emily (Kathryn Kelly), could be a main character as well, if Jimmy is a lead of this series. White confirmed his Yellowstone return in November 2024, one week before Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 premiered on Paramount Network and CBS. The actor shared photos on Instagram taken while filming down at the real-life Four Sixes Ranch in Texas in summer 2024. He ended up appearing in several episodes of the final season, which came to a close in December. Jimmy went from being completely unskilled on a ranch to holding his own as a cowboy thanks to his difficult but formative years at the Dutton Yellowstone Ranch, which included an awful rodeo accident that left him seriously injured. His relationship with Kevin Costner's John Dutton improved so much that he sent the young cowboy to the ranch in Texas to further improve his skills in Season 4. Jimmy didn't appreciate it at first, but he eventually realized how it could change his life. When the time came for him to go back to Montana, Jimmy realized his place was in Texas — and with the woman he had fallen in love with. John saw such a marked change in Jimmy, he happily let him break his vow to the Dutton ranch and move to Texas. Yellowstone, All Episodes Streaming on Peacock Solve the daily Crossword

Colin Kaepernick docuseries produced by Spike Lee no longer moving forward at ESPN amid 'creative differences'
An ESPN docuseries on quarterback Colin Kaepernick that was being produced by acclaimed director Spike Lee and Jemele Hill is no longer moving forward. The six-time Academy Award nominee revealed to Reuters during a red carpet entrance at a fundraising dinner for the Harold and Carole Pump Foundation dinner on Friday that the multi-part documentary will not be released. "I can't. I signed a nondisclosure," he said. "I can't talk about it." Asked why the series — tentatively titled "Da Saga of Colin Kaepernick" — won't be seen, Lee cited a nondisclosure agreement in talking about the development. "I can't. I signed a nondisclosure," he added. "I can't talk about it." ESPN issued a statement to Reuters on Saturday in response to an inquiry about the docuseries' status. "ESPN, Colin Kaepernick and Spike Lee have collectively decided to no longer proceed with this project as a result of certain creative differences," the statement said. "Despite not reaching finality, we appreciate all the hard work and collaboration that went into this film." Kaepernick played in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers for six seasons from 2011-16. He quarterbacked the 49ers to the 2013 NFC championship game, where they lost to the Seattle Seahawks. However, he is most known for protesting the U.S. national anthem before games by taking a knee as a gesture to protest systemic racism in the culture and police brutality. That made him a nationally controversial figure, drawing criticism from many including President Donald Trump, and presumably led to no NFL teams signing him after he became a free agent. He never played in the NFL again after the 2016 season. Last September, Puck's Matthew Belloni reported that creative differences between Kaepernick and Lee stalled the docuseries' development. Kaepernick preferred for the series to focus more on his career and personal experience. Yet Lee wanted the scope of the project to cover wider cultural issues, including the history of Black athletes in professional sports, social justice and police brutality. Though the series was reportedly completed, Kaepernick held ultimate approval over the project and wanted material added to Lee's final cut. The project stalling over creative differences between Kaepernick and Lee was confirmed to The Athletic, though specifics beyond what Belloni originally reported were not provided. Yet as Richard Deitsch and Andrew Marchand point out, ESPN's relationship with the NFL is different now than when the project was initially being developed in 2022. In an agreement worth billions of dollars, ESPN will acquire NFL RedZone and other NFL Media properies with the NFL taking a 10% equity stake in the network. A docuseries that potentially casts the NFL, commissioner Roger Goodell and the league's 32 teams in a bad light likely wouldn't be viewed favorably under those circumstances. Kaepernick filed a collusion grievance against NFL team owners with teammate Eric Reid. That lawsuit was eventually settled in 2019. The Kaepernick docuseries is reportedly finished or close enough to where it could air on another network or streaming platform. According to Belloni's report, Kaepernick and Lee largely worked out their differences. Yet based on the finality of Lee's remarks to Reuters, it appears that the project will not be shopped around to other outlets.
