‘The Madison’ cast shares what to expect in season 2 of North Texas-filmed show
“The Madison” cast is opening up about what to expect in season 2.
The Michelle Pfeiffer-led Paramount+ series premiered its six-episode first season in March. The show, created by Taylor Sheridan, splits filming between Montana and North Texas, where the region stands in for New York City.
Paramount+ has yet to set a release date for season 2, although series star Ben Schnetzer, who plays deputy sheriff Van Davis, recently said that he believes it will premiere early next year.
In the meantime, members of “The Madison” cast were asked about the second go-around during a recent event with Deadline.
Here’s what they said.
‘The Madison’ cast on season 2 storylines
Beau Garrett, who plays eldest daughter Abigail, teased that the family will spend more time in Montana.
“The first season was a lot of grief and upheaval,” Garrett said. “Now, it’s like we’re settling into Montana in season 2. I think that there’s a lot that comes with that.”
Amiah Miller, who plays Abigail’s niece Bridgett, said a lot is in store for her character in season 2.
“She meets a lot of new people. She finds her footing. I think Montana really forces her to reconnect and rebuild,” Miller said. “Bond with her family and also be open to new connections. I’m excited for people to see it.”
Garrett and Miller’s comments echo what Pfeiffer has said in the past about season 2 and the family’s extended stay in the Treasure State.
“I will say that the reality of really what it means to be there, without the skill sets to be there, it starts to sink in more and more as season 2 goes on,” Pfeiffer told the Los Angeles Times. “It becomes harder and more dangerous and begins to unravel.”
More on ‘The Madison’
“The Madison” is described as a “heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family (the Clyburns) in the Madison River valley of central Montana.”
Before premiering this spring, “The Madison” filmed its first season in 2024 and second in 2025. This was done to accommodate Kurt Russell’s schedule as he was filming “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” in 2024, and joined “The Madison” cast a year later to film scenes for both seasons.
Several Fort Worth locations appeared in season 1, including restaurants like Emilia’s, Clay Pigeon and Wicked Butcher. The Modern Art Museum also makes an appearance. The Star-Telegram put together a map of all the Fort Worth locations, which can be viewed here.
In addition to the previously mentioned cast, “The Madison” stars Patrick J. Adams, Matthew Fox, Elle Chapman, Alaina Pollack, Rebecca Spence, Danielle Vasinova, Kevin Zegers and Will Arnett. Production on season 2 wrapped late last year.
“The Madison” season 1 is streaming on Paramount+.
