Your Guide to the Cast of The Madison Season 1
3 min readTaylor Sheridan’s next drama will take us back to Montana—but, this time, we’re not hanging around the Dutton Ranch. Instead, Sheridan’s latest series centers around the Madison River from which it draws its title.
Sheridan, the creator of Yellowstone, 1883, Landman, and numerous other hit shows, returns this March with The Madison, a six-episode Paramount+ series premiering March 14. The show follows the Clyburns, a wealthy New York family whose lives shift dramatically after a tragedy sends them from Manhattan to Montana.
At the center of the story is Stacy Clyburn (Michelle Pfeiffer), the family’s matriarch, who guides her loved ones through grief and an unfamiliar environment far from the comforts of their city life.
As the drama unfolds across two worlds—and multiple generations—here’s who you’ll see bringing The Madison to life.
Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn
Pfeiffer leads the series as Stacy Clyburn, the matriarch of a prominent family who relocates to the Madison River valley after an unexpected loss. Stacy becomes the emotional anchor for her family as they attempt to navigate grief while adapting to life far outside their usual social circles.
In an interview with Town & Country, Pfeiffer described Stacy as someone trying to hold her family together during a difficult time. “She is really the anchor of her family and trying to be the moral compass when tragedy ensues,” the actress said. “They’re this New York socialite family traveling in all of the elite circles, and struggle is not something that they experience often.”
Pfeiffer, an Oscar-nominated actress, has appeared in films including Scarface (1983), Dangerous Liaisons (1988), The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989), Hairspray (2007), Ant-Man & the Wasp (2018), and may more, and will appear in the Apple TV series Margo’s Got Money Troubles later this spring.
Kurt Russell as Preston Clyburn
Russell plays Preston Clyburn, Stacy’s beloved husband and the patriarch of the Clyburn family. Unlike his city-oriented wife, daughters, and granddaughters, Preston feels deeply connected to the outdoors and frequently visits his brother Paul’s home along the Madison River in Montana.
When tragedy strikes, the family gathers at that property, forcing them to confront both the loss they’re experiencing and the unfamiliar world around them.
Russell told Town & Country that the series ultimately centers on Stacy’s narrative arc. “It’s a woman’s journey,” he said.
Russell is known for films including Escape From New York (1981), The Thing (1982), Silkwood (1983), Tequila Sunrise (1988), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), and many more.
Beau Garrett as Abigail Reese
Garrett plays Abigail Reese, the eldest daughter of Stacy and Preston. Recently divorced, Abigail is raising two daughters—Bridget and Macy—while navigating the family’s sudden relocation and the emotional upheaval that follows.
Garrett has appeared in films Turistas (2006), Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007), Tron: Legacy (2010), and Freelancers (2012), and is also known for her television work in the shows Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, The Good Doctor, and Firefly Lane.
Elle Chapman as Paige McIntosh
Chapman portrays Paige McIntosh, Stacy and Preston’s younger daughter. Paige lives a privileged life in New York with her husband, Russell, making the shift to Montana particularly jarring for them both.
Chapman previously appeared in the film A Man Called Otto.
Patrick J. Adams as Russell McIntosh
Adams plays Russell McIntosh, Paige’s husband and an investment banker accustomed to Manhattan’s elite social scene.
Adams is best known for starring as Mike Ross in the legal drama Suits.
Amiah Miller as Bridget Reese
Miller plays Bridget Reese, Abigail’s older daughter and the granddaughter of Stacy and Preston. As one of the younger members of the family, Bridget experiences the upheaval of their new life from a different generational perspective.
Miller is best known for her appearance in War for the Planet of the Apes (2017).
Alaina Pollack as Macy Reese
Pollack plays Macy Reese, Abigail’s younger daughter and Stacy and Preston’s granddaughter.
Pollack’s previous work includes the series On Call and the film The Surrender (2025).
Matthew Fox as Paul Clyburn
Fox appears as Paul Clyburn, Preston’s brother. Paul shares Preston’s appreciation for the outdoors, and he owns the Montana property that becomes central to the family’s story.
Fox is best known for his TV roles in Lost and Party of Five, as well as his performances in films We Are Marshall (2006), Alex Cross (2012), and Bone Tomahawk (2015).
