‘The Madison’ Ratings: How Did They Compare to ‘Yellowstone’ & Other Taylor Sheridan Shows?

Taylor Sheridan’s series drew 8 million global views in 10 days, marking his biggest debut among women 35+ and securing an early renewal for season two.

  • On Thursday, March 26, Paramount announced that The Madison garnered 8 million global views within 10 days of its March 14 premiere, marking the most-watched first-season launch for any series created by Taylor Sheridan.
  • The six-episode drama follows the Clyburn family as they relocate to the Madison River Valley in Montana following a tragedy, marking a tonal departure for Sheridan by focusing on grief rather than crime.
  • Response to the series remains mixed, with The Madison scoring 60 percent among critics on Rotten Tomatoes and 74 percent among viewers; Paramount noted it achieved Sheridan's most popular series launch among women ages 35 and older.
  • Paramount has already renewed the series for a second season, with production reportedly complete and ready to continue the story following the Season 1 finale cliffhanger.
  • Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell teased that Season 2 explores the "messy and profound rebuilding of everything that you knew," while Sheridan signed a deal last year to join Universal starting in 2029.
