"The Madison" was originally billed as a spinoff of Sheridan's most famous series, "Yellowstone," but he later made it a standalone. It shares similar sensibilities - only, with less violence, Kurt Russell instead of Kevin Costner, and it's more of a tearjerker.
The Madison features a new family, The Clyburns, who move from New York City to the Madison River valley in central Montana following the death of the family patriarch, Preston Clyburn (Russell). It remains unclear why Preston's widow, Stacy (Pfeiffer), relocates, but the character states in the trailer that she's on a journey to heal following his passing. Arnett plays Stacy's therapist, Deadline reports, while Matthew Fox plays Stacy's brother-in-law, Paul Clyburn.
The Paramount+ series stars Thornton as Tommy Norris, with Thornton's exact voice and wit embedded into the show's drama of a landman making deals for drilling rights. But after Tommy is fired near the end of season 2 and forced to start his own oil company, many fans seemed to take the late-season twist to mean that Thornton was leaving the show as well. He's not, of coursebut don't just take it from me. You can hear the confirmation from Thornton himself. I'm signed up for like five years or something, the actor told Esquire ahead of the finale.
Oil and masculinity: both are oftentimes crude, both are considered toxic in the twenty-first century. So it only makes sense that the two are as tightly bound as a bolt on a rig in "Landman," the latest hit series from the neo-Western television auteur Taylor Sheridan, on Paramount+. At the center of the show is Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), a grizzled and cynical but ultimately good-hearted consigliere to a reckless oil-field billionaire, Monty Miller (Jon Hamm).
We're the largest user of beef from the Four Sixes Ranch probably in the United States. Cattlemen's also uses beef from the Four Sixes, and it's honestly some of the best beef I've had in my life.
"Taylor Sheridan is like this once in a generation writer that redefined contemporary westerns and this Americana aesthetic. He reinvigorated that kind of world," showrunner April Blair told The Post.
