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.

Chadwick Boseman is the latest actor to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The late Black Panther actor received a posthumous star on Hollywood Boulevard on Thursday and was honored by his widow, Simone Ledward Boseman, as well as director Ryan Coogler and Oscar winner Viola Davis.
Boseman died in August 2020 from colon cancer.
The actor was best known for portraying T’Challa/Black Panther in the 2018 Marvel film Black Panther. He also earned accolades and critical acclaim for his roles in 21 Bridges, Spike Lee‘s Da 5 Bloods and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
In her tribute to Boseman on Thursday, Davis, Boseman’s co-star in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, called her late co-star a “castle.”
“Chadwick was a mighty, mighty elixir that sort of stirred up that alchemy that we’re all in search of, which is meaning,” she said. “I celebrate him today, and I say to him, I hoped all the angels in heaven just sang him to a beautiful rest. And I thank him for what he left behind in me, which is a burning ember that always guides me to a higher meaning of my work and my purpose.”
She added, “This star, as beautiful as it is on the Walk of Fame, shines a whole lot less brighter than Chadwick is in heaven.”
Coogler, who directed Boseman in Black Panther in 2018, recalled the actor’s “fearless and firm yet gentle” leadership.
He also called Boseman “ageless,” saying that he “never really knew how old he was until I went to one of his birthday parties.”
“Chad felt thousands of years old,” Coogler continued. “He was that calm and that wise. It was a very unnerving feeling to be around him.”
Ledward Boseman, who accepted the star on behalf of her late husband, took the stage last to share a few words.
“Chad taught all of us a great deal,” she said. “His heart was so vast he could give each and every person a specific part of him and still have so much left to share with the world.”
Also in attendance at Thursday’s ceremony were Boseman’s Black Panther co-stars Michael B. Jordan and Letitia Wright. In addition, Boseman’s brothers Derrick L. Boseman and Kevin Boseman attended the Walk of Fame ceremony to honor their late sibling.

Going into Sunday night’s Golden Globes, Apple TV+’s new series Pluribus — about a woman who is unaffected by an alien virus that causes nearly everyone on earth to be joined to a hive mind — is up for two awards.
The show, from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, is nominated for best television series, drama and best performance by an actress in a television series, drama for star RheaSeehorn. Pluribus star KarolinaWydra, who plays Zosia, says she’s thrilled for Gilligan and Seehorn, telling ABC Audio, “I’m glad that they’re being celebrated for their greatness.”
Pluribus marks the first leading role for Seehorn, who previously appeared in Gilligan’s Better Call Saul. Wydra says she hopes Seehorn receives long-overdue recognition.
“I want her to be celebrated for the incredible artist that she is, and not only incredible artist, but also an incredible woman and an incredible leader,” she says. “I am shocked that she hasn’t been a leading lady. She’s made to be that. She’s just phenomenal.”
Wydra is also happy that Gilligan’s vision is being recognized by the Globes.
“He is a master of his craft and he is a brilliant storyteller, brilliant filmmaker, and more than anything, he’s an incredible human being,” she tells ABC Audio. “And I am in awe of him as a person.”
“It starts from the top down and the way he runs the set and the ways he hires people. He really cares about making sure that people are there because they want to and they’re really good humans.”
The Golden Globes will air live on CBS Sunday night and stream live on Paramount Plus.

Mr. Diabaté returns in this week’s episode of Pluribus.
The character, played by Samba Schutte and first introduced in episode two, is one of 12 humans who are immune to an alien virus that connects everyone in the world to an exceedingly cheerful hive mind. In episode six, out Friday, Rhea Seehorn’s Carol Sturka makes a disturbing discovery and travels to Las Vegas to find Diabaté.
Schutte promises we’ll see a “whole new side” to his character, who we first saw making a flamboyant entrance on Air Force One surrounded by models.
“With episode two, people felt, oh, what a hedonist and what a, you know, abuser or whatever it is,” he tells ABC Audio. “And I think with episode six, you kind of see a gentle side to him, a side where he actually cares for Carol, clocks her loneliness and wants her to understand what’s going on. … And he’s becoming a kind of ally to her.”
That’s not to say Diabaté agrees with Carol’s outlook on the world’s situation — she wants to reverse the virus and he doesn’t — but Schutte calls him “the ultimate diplomat.”
“He’s a very rational character,” he says. “If you notice, like he’s always coming up with rational counterarguments to Carol’s point of view, which drives her nuts.”
One thing’s for sure, Diabaté isn’t purposely malicious — even though some fans of Pluribus creator Vince Gilligan’s other show, Breaking Bad, were quick to speculate otherwise.
“I think as soon as episode two aired, everyone was like, ‘This guy is gonna be the new Gus Fring. Mr. Koumba Diabaté is the new villain of the show,’” Schutte says. “And I’m like, ‘Really? I thought he was such a sweet guy!’”
New episodes of Pluribus drop Fridays on Apple TV.
