Deep Dive: The Complete Cast Breakdown

Lead Cast

Michelle Pfeiffer plays Stacy Clyburn, the matriarch of the Clyburn family. A Manhattan socialite who must rebuild her life after a devastating tragedy strikes her family. Pfeiffer also serves as Executive Producer on the series. This marks her first-ever major TV series lead role — a remarkable fact for an actress with a career spanning four decades, three Oscar nominations (Dangerous Liaisons, The Fabulous Baker Boys, Love Field), and iconic roles in Scarface, Batman Returns, and The Age of Innocence.

Kurt Russell plays Preston Clyburn, Stacy's husband and the Clyburn family patriarch. A rugged outdoorsman whose tragic death is the catalyst for the family's migration to Montana. Russell, best known for Tombstone, The Hateful Eight, and Escape from New York, joined the cast in September 2025 and also serves as Executive Producer. His involvement marks his first collaboration with Taylor Sheridan.

Patrick J. Adams plays Russell McIntosh, Paige's husband and Stacy and Preston's son-in-law. A young investment banker who has followed the path set for him from the start. Adams is best known for playing Mike Ross in the long-running legal drama Suits.

Matthew Fox plays Paul Clyburn, Preston's brother and Stacy's brother-in-law. A self-reliant outdoorsman and bachelor who loves the solitude of the outdoors and becomes the family's unexpected rock. This is Fox's most significant TV role since playing Jack Shephard in Lost, one of the most iconic characters in television history.

Beau Garrett plays Abigail Reese, Stacy and Preston's eldest daughter. A resilient and sarcastic New Yorker who is recently divorced and a mother of two daughters (Bridget and Macy). Garrett is known for her roles in The Good Doctor and Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior.

Elle Chapman plays Paige McIntosh, Stacy and Preston's youngest daughter, married to Russell. A somewhat self-centered young woman who has grown accustomed to the lavish lifestyle her parents provided. Chapman is a rising talent making her major series debut.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Michelle Pfeiffer's first TV show?

It's her first major lead role in a TV series. She's appeared in limited TV roles and cameos before, but The Madison marks her first commitment as a series lead — and she's also serving as Executive Producer, showing her deep investment in the project.

Why did Kurt Russell join The Madison?

Russell joined the cast in September 2025, during Season 2 filming. His involvement marks his first collaboration with Taylor Sheridan. As a Western icon (Tombstone, The Hateful Eight), Russell brings authentic frontier energy to the Clyburn patriarch role.

Will any Yellowstone cast members appear?

While not officially confirmed, the present-day setting and shared Montana location leave the door open for cameos from Yellowstone fan-favorites like Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) or Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser).

How does this cast compare to other Yellowstone series?

With Oscar nominees, Emmy favorites, and pop culture icons, The Madison arguably has the most star-powered cast in the franchise. 1883 featured Tim McGraw and Faith Hill; 1923 had Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren; now The Madison brings Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt Russell, and Matthew Fox together under Taylor Sheridan's direction.
