Scorchin' Summer Streamin' 26 - The Madison - Season One

The Madison has had one of the most random release schedules of recent times. The Taylor Sheridan/ Paramount+ series, gave us three episodes a week over two weeks, totalling six episodes.

The Madison follows the Clyburn family, originally from New York City, who relocate to the Madison River valley of southwest Montana for emotional recovery following a major life-changing tragedy that both shocks and permanently changes the family. 

Michelle Pfeiffer & Kurt Russell lead as the heads of the family, alongside Beau Garrett, Patrick J. Adams, Elle Chapman, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack, Ben Schnetzer, Kevin Zegers, Rebecca Spence, & Lost's Matthew Fox.

Last August, (way) ahead of the series premiere, The Madison was renewed for a second season.

So production on this Yellowstone style drama kicked off a while back. The first season began in August 2024, with recording set to take place in Montana, New York, and Texas. Over six weeks was spent shooting in Three Forks, Montana before moving to Boulder in early November.

Crews then moved to Dallas & Fort Worth, Texas later in the month, with with Downtown Fort Worth eventually standing-in for the New York City-set scenes. Filming there continued into December before wrapping that year.

The second season followed a similar filming schedule in 2025. To accommodate Russel's availability all of his scenes in the first season were shot alongside the season two.

Filming started in September in Montana and shifted to Dallas, Denton, and Fort Worth in December. In Texas, the second season held soundstages at new studios co-owned by Sheridan and Glasser in Alliance.Shooting then wrapped shortly before Christmas.


The Madison has had mixed reviews, the SMH weren't kind with a two star review today. However I liked this.

Paramount+ has some solid series right now. Weekly Y: Marshals, a Yellowstone story, NCIS Sydney, with Unspeakable: The Murder of JonBenĂ©t Ramsey coming.

Until next time. Peace out!
