The Yellowstone sequel has a new title and its first star. Michelle Pfeiffer has been signed to star in the spin-off series The Madison, which was previously titled 2024. Matthew McConaughey was initially in talks to star in the Paramount Network project, but a deal was never officially announced. It’s unclear how many, if any, characters from Yellowstone will appear on the new show.
