· About Season One of The Madison: Introducing the Clyburns, The Madison is a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana. In addition to Oscar nominee Michelle Pfeiffer and Golden Globe(R) Award nominee Kurt Russell, the series stars Beau Garrett (Firefly Lane), Elle Chapman (A Man Called Otto), Patrick J. Adams (Suits), Amiah Miller (War for the Planet of the Apes), Alaina Pollack (The Surrender), Ben Schnetzer (3 Body Problem), Kevin Zegers (Power), Rebecca Spence (Lady in the Lake), Danielle Vasinova (1923), Matthew Fox (Lost) and Will Arnett (Is This Thing On?).
