‘The Madison’ Wraps Season 1 on Paramount+ With Season 2 Already Filmed

Early viewing is strong despite a cooling critics’ score, with a filmed second season awaiting a date.

Overview

  • Paramount+ released Episodes 4–6 on March 21 after a two‑week split rollout that began with three episodes on March 14.
  • The series stands apart from the Yellowstone universe and centers on a quieter, character‑driven study of family and grief set between Manhattan and Montana.
  • Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell lead the cast, with all six Season 1 episodes directed by Christina Alexandra Voros.
  • Production shot two seasons back‑to‑back to accommodate schedules, with many of Russell’s Season 1 scenes filmed later during the Season 2 shoot.
  • Reviews have leveled to mixed—Forbes cites a Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score near 60% with stronger audience marks—while stars and creatives say Season 2 explores rebuilding after loss and hints at higher real‑world stakes.
