March 14, 2026 is the premiere date for The Madison, which pairs Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell on screen for the first time in 38 years.
Taylor Sheridan secured both actors under his standing rule that cast members commit before reading scripts, then shapes the material around the performers he has.
Pfeiffer plays a New York mother facing profound loss, while Russell appears as her late husband, with director Christina Alexandra Voros saying their shared history gave scenes immediate ease.
The series will stream exclusively on Canal+ and myCANAL, while U.S. release details are still being finalized.
The project extends Sheridan's write-after-casting approach, already used on 1923, betting that trust and actor-specific writing produce stronger chemistry on screen.
