Taylor Sheridan’s new 6-episode series is expected to improve over the next few years, continuing his expansion of the popular TV universe. Even though the original series, Yellowstone, concluded in 2024 with some issues surrounding Kevin Costner’s departure, Sheridan has already launched four additional shows and plans for more.
The series Landman has been picked up for a third season. The Road is a new reality singing competition overseen by Taylor Sheridan. Marshals debuted in 2026 and has already been renewed for another season. Dutton Ranch is set to premiere in mid-May 2026, and Frisco King is currently being developed.
The six-part drama The Madison debuted on March 14, 2026, with Taylor Sheridan as its showrunner – a role he doesn’t have with the show Marshals. The Madison features Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn, the head of a prominent New York City family who moves to a ranch in Bozeman, Montana, following a sudden loss.
Even though The Madison isn’t connected to the world of Yellowstone, any show created by Taylor Sheridan is bound to draw viewers. The first season didn’t make as big of an impact as the first season of Yellowstone, and it currently has a 63% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Despite some issues, The Madison has been picked up for two more seasons. This gives the show a chance to improve and become one of the stronger entries in Taylor Sheridan’s interconnected TV world.
Why Reviews For The Madison Have Been Muted
While not poorly received, reviews for The Madison have been rather unenthusiastic. It hasn’t resonated with audiences in the same way Landman and Lioness recently did. This could be because viewers are starting to feel a bit tired of Taylor Sheridan’s signature style – it’s hard for any creator to consistently deliver hits. People eventually want something new.
While The Madison has some flaws, as many readers have pointed out, the contrast between Sheridan’s depiction of gritty New York City and the idyllic Montana landscape feels overly dramatic. It’s clear he favors rural settings, and the theme of finding solace in nature after loss is understandable, but the way these settings are presented is somewhat cartoonish.
As a film buff, I found the New Yorkers in this show to be pretty stereotypical – almost cartoonish, really. The show really hammers home the idea that NYC is all danger and greed, while the Great Plains are this peaceful, soul-searching escape. Honestly, after the initial drama in the first episode of The Madison, things just…slowed down. It felt less like a complete first season and more like they were still trying to establish the premise, stretching out what could have been a single, strong pilot.
How The Madison Can Improve Next Season
The first season of The Madison feels more like an introduction than a full story, but the upcoming seasons have the potential to make the show feel complete. While season one didn’t offer much character development or plot progression, seasons two and three have a lot of room to expand the story and allow the show to truly come into its own.
Michelle Pfeiffer has hinted that season 2 of The Madison will be even stronger than the first. Interestingly, season 2 was filmed before season 1 was released, suggesting the creators, led by Sheridan, may have intentionally paced the show to build towards bigger developments in later seasons.
