According to a report from TVLine, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt Russell, and Patrick J. Adams are nearing deals to join the spinoff. Beau Garett is also expected to join the spinoff. Casting remains ongoing for the supporting ensemble.

At one point, the title of the spinoff was 2024. However, the tentative title is now The Madison. TVLine’s report states the spinoff is rumored to follow wealthy matriarch Stacy Clyburn and her family as they leave New York City and head to Montana in the wake of her husband and brother-in-law’s tragic deaths in a plane crash.

The spinoff stems from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. Production is expected to begin later this month in Montana, New York, and Texas. The spinoff will likely air in 2025 after the conclusion of Yellowstone season 5, part 2, which marks the final run for the landmark cable series. Yellowstone season 5, part 2, premieres on Sunday, November 10, 2024.

Yellowstone Returns Nov. 10 | Paramount Network

In February 2023, Deadline reported that Yellowstone would end in its current form after the upcoming season. Sheridan planned to extend the Yellowstone universe in a sequel series starring Matthew McConaughey. Several stars of Yellowstone, including Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Luke Grimes, were in discussions to join the sequel. It is unclear if Russell replaced McConaughey or if the trio of Yellowstone stars will appear in the spinoff.

Yellowstone season 5, part 2, is currently in production. Kevin Costner will not return as John Dutton due to his work on Horizon: An American Saga. Season 5, part 2, is rumored to have six episodes, though that number could change.

Another Taylor Sheridan show is heading to Paramount Network. 1923 season 1 will air on Paramount Network on Sunday, December 8, following a new episode of Yellowstone season 5, part 2.

1923 is a prequel to Yellowstone, set in Montana during the Great Depression. Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford star as Cara and Jacob Dutton. Jacob is the older brother of James Dutton, Tim McGraw's character in 1883. Like Yellowstone, 1923 pits the Duttons against rival parties looking to infringe on their land and disrupt their power. "The series will explore the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west," the synopsis reads.

After a nearly two-year hiatus, Yellowstone season 5, part 2 finally returns this November. A lot of drama has transpired since the series last aired in January 2023. Avoiding spoilers, adding another season, and Kevin Costner's departure are at the center of the Yellowstone drama.

Ahead of the season 5, part 2 premiere, Yellowstone director Christina Voros spoke with The Hollywood Reporter and revealed what she could about the show's hot-button topics. Because of the show's popularity, Voros stressed that series creator Taylor Sheridan wanted to reduce leaks as much as possible. Voros joked that not even Marvel worked as hard as Yellowstone did to keep everything a secret.

In the new footage, the Dutton family battles to keep their ranch and reestablish their power over the valley. However, this will take sacrifice as opposing forces attempt to end the Duttons' reign. The 84-second teaser features Rip (Cole Hauser) setting a car on fire, Kayce (Luke Grimes) making a blood deal with Chief Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), Beth (Kelly Reilly) fighting with Sarah (Dawn Olivieri), and Jamie (Wes Bentley) experiencing an emotional breakdown.
