It was announced in September that Kurt Russell was joining the drama alongside Michelle Pfiefer, Patrick J. Adams, and Matthew Fox. 

Now Will Arnett has been added to the call sheet. You may know him from his role as Gob in the beloved sitcom Arrested Development. He also co-hosts the podcast Smartless with Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes. 

There has also been Oscar talk surrounding Arnett's recent dramatic performance in the Bradley Cooper dramedy Is This Thing On?

Who Is Will Arnett Playing in "The Madison"?

It's been reported that Arnett will play Phil Yorn, a therapist based in New York City. 

As we've previously reportedThe Madison will follow the McIntosh family as they travel from New York City to the Madison River Valley in Montana after a tragedy. Pfeiffer's character, Stacy Clyburn, is working through her grief as she tries to rebuild her life. 

Russell will play Stacy's husband, Preston, and Fox plays Paul, an outdoorsman who hates the city. The cast also includes Danielle Vasinova, Ben Schnetzer, Patrick J. Adams, Beau Garrett, Amiah Miller, and Elle Chapman. 

The show has been described as a "heartfelt study of grief and human connection" and "profound love story channeled through a deeply personal family drama about resilience and transformation."

While The Madison has been billed as a Yellowstone spinoff, its connection to the original series remains unclear. It is not confirmed whether the show is a direct sequel, a prequel, or simply set in the same universe as Yellowstone

When Is "The Madison" Set to Premiere?

The six-episode first season will kick off on March 14. The second season has already filmed. Last month, film crews were spotted on Main Street in Dallas. The Texas metropolis was a stand-in for New York City. 

In addition to The Madison, fans of Taylor Sheridan's work have even more to look forward to. The second season of Landman just wrapped up on Paramount+. Another Yellowstone spinoff centered on Kayce Dutton, now titled Marshals, will debut on CBS on March 1. 

The Madison announced its premiere date in a teaser earlier this week. You can check it out below.
