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.

7 shows like The Sopranos for your next binge
These series all learned from HBO's best drama
The cast of The Sopranos

The Sopranos finds itself in a rare pop culture place right now. Most people know what the show is, whether you're a younger TV fan just getting into the HBO series or a veteran who is on their ninth rewatch in the last 25 years. It's a pioneering classic that is fresh and a relic of its time simultaneously. David Chase's crime drama about a mobster who goes to therapy during the day and kills capos at night brought an entirely new dimension to television that didn't exist before. The show broke barriers that other programs have tried to imitate, but very few have ever accomplished. On the other hand, the shows that have gone shot-for-shot with The Sopranos have improved upon some of the older, more outdated parts of the series.

Because The Sopranos was the original crime drama of the Golden Age of Television, it's not hard to compile a list of copycats. Simply boiling these successors down to their similarities to The Sopranos would be disrespectful, though. These shows like The Sopranos are some of the best TV series of all time and have won Emmys for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and more. Time to wake up this morning and get yourself a Sopranos-adjecent binge-watch.

8 high-stakes shows like Squid Game you can’t miss
Death, drama, and game shows are quite a mix in these Squid Game-like series
The cast of season 3 of Squid Game.

Squid Game surely superseded any expectations the creators had when the South Korean drama series premiered in 2021. Now the most popular show in the history of Netflix, the series follows a group of desperate contestants who will sacrifice anything to win a massive cash prize in a long line of lethal games and activities. The concept seems more like something that would be on reality TV than scripted, but the creators more than make everything work. Squid Game is able to grapple with a lot of thought-provoking issues while never shying away from addicting devices and unique episodes that beg to keep viewers hooked to the screen all night long.

There's nothing exactly like Squid Game, or at least nothing that has equaled it in popularity. We've dove into the deepest parts of the TV landscape to find series that resemble the South Korean phenomenon in the way they create drama, the setting they take place in, or the genre elements they imitate. These are shows like Squid Game that you need to watch right away.
