Though it was originally pegged as a sequel series toYellowstone, director Christina Alexandra Voros toldVarietyin November 2024 thatThe Madisonis "such a different story."
"The common ground is the landscape," she explained. "We are in Montana, but it is seen through a completely different lens, so it feels like another facet of this cut stone that has been polished."
She continued, "There are parallels in the scope of landscape and a human being's place in that space, but it's coming at it from a completely different point of view."
How doesTheMadisonrelate toYellowstone?
PerThe Hollywood Reporter, whenTheMadisonwas first announced, it was set to take place after the events ofYellowstone.
The show was meant to continue the Dutton family story with the introduction of new characters as well as retaining some old ones. However, it now appears to be a standalone story focusing on an entirely new family within theYellowstoneuniverse.
