Taylor Sheridan has assembled a star-studded cast in his newest hit The Madison — but who does each actor play after numerous shocking onscreen deaths?
According to the official synopsis, The Madison follows the Clyburn family from New York City, who “relocate to the Madison River valley of southwest Montana for emotional recovery following a tragedy that shattered the family.”
Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell make up the cast in addition to stars Patrick J. Adams, Elle Chapman, Matthew Fox, Beau Garrett, Alaina Pollack, Amiah Miller as members of the Clyburn family. Ben Schnetzer, Kevin Zegers. Rebecca Spence and Danielle Vasinova are also featured in the hit Paramount+ series.
“Taylor has a wonderful knack of putting what he wants to be known from the script into the script. There is always a specificity to what locations are — to what moment of the scene is the most resonant to character descriptions,” executive producer and director Christina Alexandra Voros exclusively told Us Weekly about collaborating with Sheridan. “There’s so much DNA in the scripts themselves that there are fewer conversations than you would think [between us]. We’ve been working together for a very long time. I feel lucky enough to have been trusted with interpreting his writing for screen for a very long time.”
Voros also weighed in on Russell calling The Madison “a very female-gaze-oriented show,” adding, “I agree with Kurt. It is through a feminine gaze. But Taylor has always written strong women. He has always imbued his female characters with ferociousness and complexity that is really exciting to play with as an actress and also as a director.”
She continued: “In some ways, The Madison feels like a more feminine gaze — perhaps because you have all of these female protagonists — but I think he has had that element in his writing all along.”
