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.

The talks are part of a wave of interest Netflix has had in launching live programming.

One of the core innovations of Netflix when the streaming service first launched was the notion that you could watch whatever you wanted on demand. More recently, though, the streaming service has moved towards hosting at least some things live on its streaming service. Those kinds of live events ensure that more people are eagerly anticipating and watching at the same time, and you can always catch up later if you miss it.

According to reporting in Variety, one of Netflix's newest live gambits could be live episodes of the interview show Hot Ones. The show, which is hosted by Sean Evans, involves celebrities eating increasingly spicy wings while they answer a series of interesting question from Evans, who is eating the wings right alongside them.

George R. R. Martin has been making all sorts of news lately because of his opinions on the second season of House of the Dragon. Now, though, the Game of Thrones author is apparently turning his attention to the other spin-off of his franchise that is currently in development. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms won't hit TV screens until 2025, but during a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Martin said that he was happy with the way the show was developing.

"I visited the set in Northern Ireland in July and loved what I saw. Great cast. [The lead characters] Dunk and Egg look as if they walked out of the pages of my book. My readers are going to love them. I certainly do. [Showrunner Ira Parker] is doing a great job," he said.
