Get ready to meet the Clyburns. The new Taylor Sheridan series The Madison has an official premiere date on Paramount+.
The series, directed by Christina Alexandra Voros and starring Michelle Pfeiffer, will debut March 14. It’s described as “a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.”
The network also released first-look images from the show, including Pfeiffer as “the heart of the family” Stacy Clyburn, and Kurt Russell and Matthew Fox as brothers Preston Clyburn and Paul Clyburn.
The Madison is one of several Taylor Sheridan projects in the works, including Yellowstone spinoff Marshals and a spinoff with the working title Dutton Ranch. Yellowstone ended its five-season run on Paramount Network in December 2024.

Another day, another gig for Snoop Dogg. Deadline reports he is set to star in God of the Rodeo, a true crime thriller from filmmaker Rosalind Ross.
Snoop will also produce the film with his Death Row Pictures partner Sara Ramaker, Giannina Scott for Cara Films and Ridley Scott for Scott Free Productions, while Ross writes and directs.
“Linking up with Scott Free Productions and working with Ridley Scott and Giannina Scott on God of the Rodeo is life changing and an honor,” Snoop said in a statement. “Rosalind Ross brought a story with heart and grit, and that’s what I’m about. Me and the team at Death Row Pictures stepping in as producers, I’m acting in it, and Death Row Records is building the soundtrack—and this one got soul. … We’re bringing an important story and something special to the screen.”
Giannina Scott said she is “excited and blessed to have Snoop join the cast,” calling him “one of the most gifted and influential artists alive.”
Ross added, “It’s a thrill and an honor as a filmmaker to bring the legendary swagger, soul and eccentricity of Snoop to this story in what will be a completely transformative role for him.”
While Snoop’s exact role has not yet been revealed, God of the Rodeo — based on reporting by Daniel Bergner— is set against the brutal backdrop of Louisiana’s Angola Prison in 1967.
It follows Buckkey, an inmate serving a life sentence “who finds a glimmer of redemption” in Angola’s first inmate rodeo, according to Deadline. He later learns the rodeo is less of an opportunity and more of “a grueling fight for survival designed to satiate the public’s” desire for bloodshed and the warden’s sense of power.
Harry will host and be the musical guest on the March 14 installment of the show. In the promo, Marcello dons Harry’s outfit from the BRIT Awards and apes his dance moves as he makes his way to the stage of Studio 8H, while Harry’s song “American Girls” plays. He steps to the mic, only to be interrupted by the real Harry, standing in the back of the studio with Kenan Thompson.
“What are you doing, Marcello?”
“Nothing, Harry Styles,” says Marcello, knocking the mic to the floor.
“Are those my clothes?” Harry asks.
“Yeah, sorry. I thought you weren’t coming,” Marcello replies. “I thought I would just go on as your understudy.”
“Understudy? I’m 15 minutes late because Kenan and I went out for pain au chocolat,” Harry responds, as he and Kenan hold up the French pastries. “It’s a tradition when I host.” To be clear, Harry has only hosted the show once before.
“Tsk tsk, Marcello. You forgot the pain au chocolat,” Kenan scolds.
“I’m sorry, I just wanted to help,” Marcello says. “If you want to help, hold my pain au chocolat,” says Harry.
Marcello quickly exits the stage, while Harry gets behind the mic and says, “See you on Saturday.”
Rose Byrne stars in ‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.’ (Logan White/A24)
The 98th annual Oscars are less than a week away. Rose Byrne received her first-ever Oscar nomination for her performance in the film If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. She’s up for best actress at the ceremony, and Byrne’s nomination is the only recognition the film received this year.
Byrne spoke to ABC Audio about what it means to represent director Mary Bronstein’s film at this year’s ceremony.
“We premiered [If I Had] Legs [I’d Kick You] a year ago at Sundance. So, it’s been a year of shepherding this film. And it’s an indie film,” Byrne said, adding, “So it was a smaller budget for advertising stuff.”
Despite all of that, Byrne said the film has connected and made an impact.
“It’s been truly an extraordinary experience,” Byrne said. “I just couldn’t anticipate how people have received it. It’s been really varied. What people’s takeaway from the film is [that] it’s very interpretive and it is a real expression of feeling. And I think that’s just been a highlight to be part of something that’s very compelling, and polarizing and moving.”
All of that has been “really, really cool,” she said, but even better is that she gets to represent the film as its only nomination.
“To have this recognition, it’s really recognition for the film, because the character is the film and the film is the character,” Byrne said, before speaking on what she’s enjoyed most about this awards season.
“It’s been fun to meet people I love, meet people I admire,” Byrne said. “It’s incredible, obviously, I’m the fan.”
The Oscars will take place Sunday at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. The show will air live on ABC and will also stream live on Hulu.
