Yellowstone is set to air its final episode this week, and barring a surprise renewal for season six, fans are beginning to look to the next show to join Taylor Sheridan’s ranching universe. In August, TVLine revealed that there was a Yellowstone spinoff, tentatively titled The Madison, in the works. Shortly thereafter, casting announcements helped to flesh out a clearer idea of what Yellowstone‘s successor will look like.
Since then, the pace of news has calmed a bit, but in a new interview, Yellowstone executive producer Christina Voros, who directed four of the six episodes in the show’s most recent season, did confirm that much of the flagship series’s team has moved on to The Madison. Speaking to THR about rumors of Sheridan’s ever-expanding catalogue of shows, Voros said, “The team that I’ve been working with has moved from Yellowstone into The Madison, so I know that new show is happening and Taylor is excited about writing it.”
The news ignited some mixed feelings among fans. On the one hand, the new spinoff gaining the expertise of the team behind the beloved original show surely bodes well for the quality of the new series. On the other, the fact that many of the behind-the-scenes pros from Yellowstone have a new gig would seem to be another nail in the coffin for the Dutton drama, which has been rumored to be in contention for a sixth season pick-up.
Even the stars themselves seem to be in the dark about what’s ahead for the larger Sheridan-verse. When asked by TVLine in October about The Madison‘s impressive cast, Patrick J. Adams, merely responded, “Yes—and I have no idea what I’m allowed to say about that show, so I’m going to say absolutely nothing except ‘yes’ to what you just said.”
