Page Six • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Taylor Sheridan’s series “The Madison,” starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, was initially intended to be connected to his hit show “Yellowstone” but now stands as a separate story with its own unique identity and tone.
- The show follows the wealthy Clyburn family grieving the sudden death of Preston (Russell) in a plane crash, with Russell appearing in flashbacks despite his character’s early death.
- This series marks the first collaboration between Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer since 1988’s “Tequila Sunrise,” with their on-screen chemistry central to the narrative’s emotional depth.
- Director Christina Alexandra Voros praises Pfeiffer’s emotionally intense performance and describes Sheridan as a hands-on yet trusting collaborator involved in casting and editorial decisions
