“Michelle Pfeiffer is a remarkable talent who imbues every role with emotional depth, authenticity and grace. She is the perfect anchor to the newest chapter of the ‘Yellowstone’ universe, ‘The Madison,’ from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan,” Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global co-CEO and the president and CEO of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios, said in a statement on Thursday.
Michelle Pfeiffer will lead the next “Yellowstone” show as Kevin Costner exits. Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP “It’s time to move on,” Kevin Costner said about “Yellowstone.”
“Yellowstone” follows wealthy rancher John Dutton (Kevin Costner) and his adult children, including Kayce (Luke Grimes), Jamie (Wes Bentley), Beth (Kelly Reilly) and his son-in-law, Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) .
Previously, it was reported that McConaughey would likely star in the sequel series, but a deal was never officially announced. McConaughey’s future in the “Yellowstone” world is unclear. The Post reached out to his rep for comment.
There was also a chance that “Yellowstone” stars Reilly, Hauser and Grimes would reprise their roles and join him in that series, although that was never officially confirmed, either.

“Yellowstone” has numerous other spinoff shows, including “1883” starring Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Sam Elliott, and “1923” starring Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford.
“I have taken a beating from those f–king guys, and I know a lot of times where it’s coming from,” Costner said in May , referring to the “Yellowstone” producers and Sheridan.

Sheridan told the Hollywood Reporter in June 2023 about his feud with Costner, “He and the network were arguing about when he could be done with ‘Yellowstone.’ I said, ‘We can certainly work a schedule toward [his preferred exit date],’ which we did.”
Sheridan added, “Once lawyers get involved, then people don’t get to talk to each other and start saying things that aren’t true and attempt to shift blame based on how the press or public seem to be reacting.”
“It was a necessary decision to say, ‘Hey, OK, I don’t want to really talk about this anymore. It’s time to move on,’” Costner told the Hollywood Reporter at the time, referring to “Yellowstone.”
“I just want to reach out and let you know that after this long year and a half of working on Horizon and doing all the things that that’s required,” Costner said at the time.
Kevin Costner had some harsh words for the “Yellowstone” producers after he left.
“Thinking about Yellowstone, that beloved series that I love, that I know you love. I just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue, season five or into the future.”
He added, “I loved it and I know you loved it. I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning. I love the relationships that I’ve been able to develop. And I’ll see you at the movies.”
