Where to Watch The Madison: Streaming Platform, Plans & International Access

The Quick Answer

Why Streaming-Only?

The move away from cable TV reflects Paramount's streaming-first strategy. While Yellowstone built its audience on the Paramount Network, 1923, 1883, and now The Madison are all Paramount+ exclusives. This shift:

• Gives subscribers a compelling reason to join the platform
• Allows for longer, more cinematic episodes without commercial breaks
• Reaches a global audience simultaneously
• Positions the franchise for the streaming era

What Else You Can Watch

With a Paramount+ subscription, you can also binge the entire Yellowstone universe:

• Yellowstone — All 5 seasons of the original series
• 1883 — The Duttons' journey west
• 1923 — The Prohibition-era saga with Harrison Ford
• Lawmen: Bass Reeves — Another Sheridan Western with David Oyelowo
• Tulsa King — Sylvester Stallone's crime drama by Sheridan
• Lioness — Zoe Saldaña's military thriller by Sheridan
