In August, Paramount announced that Pfeiffer would take on the lead role in “The Madison.”
“Michelle Pfeiffer is an extraordinary talent who imbues each role with emotional depth, authenticity and grace. She is the perfect anchor in the latest chapter of the ‘Yellowstone’ universe, ‘The Madison,’ from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan,” Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President and chief executive officer of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios, he said in a statement to Variety at the time.
