When Does ‘The Madison’ Season 2 Premiere? Returning Stars Give Update
Taylor Sheridan‘s The Madison filmed its first two seasons back-to-back, but fans are still waiting for a Season 2 premiere date. Returning stars Kevin Zegers and Danielle Vasinova, who play married couple Cade and Kestrel Harris in the series, shared an update on Seasons 2 and 3, including when Season 3 is expected to start filming.
The Madison is a profound love story channeled through a deeply personal family drama about resilience and transformation. Paramount+ calls it Sheridan’s most intimate work to date. It unfolds across two distinct worlds — the beautiful landscape of Montana and the vibrant energy of Manhattan — as it examines the ties that bind families together after an unexpected tragedy.
The Madison was the most-watched debut season on Paramount+ when it premiered in March of 2026, with 8 million viewers in its first 10 days on the streaming platform following its three-episode debut. Paramount was confident enough in the Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell-led series to renew it early and let Season 2 be filmed soon after Season 1, and it renewed the show for Season 3 right after the Season 1 finale came out.
Here, we’ve compiled all the details that are currently available about the drama’s future.

Vasinova told Us Weekly that The Madison Season 2 is expected to come out at the “top of 2027,” around the same time that Season 3 filming will start.
“I got cast in the show back in 2024, and our first season came out in 2026, and then season 2 is going to come out top of 2027,” Vasinova said. “And we’ll be back shooting season 3 for top of 2027 as well, so stay tuned.”
“It was mostly nice to shoot a second season before anyone had seen the first season, just because I think sometimes the show comes out and the vibes change on set because everyone’s kind of like the thing you’re making has been consumed,” Zegers told Us Weekly. “So, having made the second now, we’re going back to make the third at the beginning of next year.”
What is The Madison Season 2 about?

Russell and Pfeiffer play Preston and Stacy Clyburn, a wealthy couple who have been together since they were teens. Their family consists of daughters Abby (Beau Garrett) and Paige (Elle Chapman), granddaughters Bridgett (Amiah Miller) and Macy (Alaina Pollack), and son-in-law Russell (Patrick J. Adams). The Manhattan-based Preston frequently visits his younger brother, Paul (Matthew Fox), at his home in the Madison River Valley in Montana. Preston owns the land where Paul lives, and there are three cabins for their family that his wife and daughters have never visited.
The brothers died in a plane crash in The Madison Episode 1 while trying to make it out of a storm. The first season takes place over six days as the surviving Clyburns travel to Montana to attend to Preston and Paul’s remains. Season 1’s second half premiered on March 21 and concluded that first week of grieving the loss. Stacey ended up back in Montana in the end, indicating that the Clyburns will go back to Montana in Season 2 (get more Season 2 details in our interview with Beau Garrett and Ben Schnetzer).
Pfeiffer told TV Insider that Stacey’s Season 1 ending is a rebirth of sorts. Season 2, she said, “is the messy and profound building of having lost everything that you know. Are you going to survive?”
“[Stacy], it becomes questionable whether she’s going to survive,” Russell added.
Is Kurt Russell in The Madison Season 2?
TV Insider was first to report that Fox won’t return in Season 2. Given that, there won’t be any more Preston and Paul flashbacks. But Season 2 was filmed early to accommodate Russell’s schedule. He filmed his Season 1 scenes during Season 2 production, so viewers can expect to see him again in Season 2 unless Paramount+ reveals otherwise.

I loved Season 1 of the Madison. So full of emotion and superb story and acting. What’s not to love with the beautiful western scenery. Loving the contrast between big city and Montana open spaces. Please, please tell when Season 2 will show!

I think if you title an article, when is the season two premiere you should say when it is! If you don’t know, then, don’t write the article!

I have been a big fan of Taylor Sheridan series but have always been a bit annoyed with his use of flashbacks. I understand why he uses the technique but think he overdoes it. This annoyance hit it's peak with The Madison.
I watched the entire first "season" of 6 episodes and came away feeling it could easily be reduced to 2 episodes without losing any meaning. And to put off releasing the already filmed second season for more than is almost criminal 😉 It should be released now as Season One - Part Two.
