Will The Madison Recapture Yellowstone’s Success?
Why Things Are Already Looking Promising
With Kevin Costner having very publicly departedYellowstoneseason 5 part 2, the show could be said to be ending under less than ideal circumstances. Costner’s John Dutton, after all, was a key figure in the show throughout its run, and it will now be concluding without a proper sendoff for that character. Despite this,Yellowstonestill remains a massive hit, and its two existing spinoffs,1883and1923, also experienced success.
Yellowstoneseason 5, part 2, will consist of six episodes and will premiere on November 10 at 8 p.m. ET.
One key ingredient to the success ofYellowstone,1883, and1923is undoubtedly Sheridan himself. The creator also writes the scripts for all three shows, and it’s his voice and storytelling that viewers evidently enjoy. With Sheridan occupying this same role forThe Madisonand the show returning toYellowstone’s Montana roots, the series is already in good hands. Plus, Pfeiffer’s strong resume as an actor makes her a great choice as series lead.
