Contrary to this previous assumption, a new report from Puck reportedly reveals that McConaughey will likely not be involved in the Yellowstone spinoff series. Matthew Belloni wrote that “at this point [he’s] told that he’s [McConaughey] probably out.”
The journalist and Hollywood insider mentioned that Kurt Russell might take over for McConaughey in a spinoff series called The Madison. He also confirmed that Michelle Pfeiffer was indeed nearing the “end of a deal” to star The Madison.
Belloni also suggested that The Madison is only “likely” but “not for sure” connected to Yellowstone.
The Confusion with The Madison Explained
Will Russell Replace McConaughey?
Belloni’s report on the subject indicates that the rumors may be true, meaning that the former True Detective star would not be involved. While his involvement in the project was announced over a year ago, more recent reports revealed that McConaughey was still in negotiations for his part in the Yellowstone spinoff, meaning that nothing was yet finalized.
Because of this, it is still possible that the actor had to bow out for one reason or another, and Russell could be his replacement.
