Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell discuss The Madison season two
Actors Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell discussed plot twists for the second season of Paramount+ drama The Madison at a screening in Los Angeles on November 5.
Stars reveal upcoming story changes
Michelle Pfeiffer stated she was grateful Taylor Sheridan did not provide a full script before filming began. She explained that lacking the complete story helped her avoid feeling daunted by daily plot directions. Kurt Russell joined her on set nearly forty years after their 1988 film Tequila Sunrise. The pair now portrays a widowed matriarch and her late husband in this new series.
Production challenges in Montana landscape
The first episode features a plane crash killing Russell's character along with his brother played by Matthew Fox. Pfeiffer described the rugged western location as extraordinarily beautiful but brutally hot during the summer months. She noted that dust storms and dirt in her hair added a gritty reality to the scenes. Shooting without typical comforts made the environment difficult for the cast working in big sky country.
Actors build chemistry on set
Russell used a monitor to watch Pfeiffer while they filmed their shared scenes together. He felt it was clear how she would play her character from the first reading of the script. Pfeiffer admitted feeling nervous on their first day but found Russell to be a supportive ally throughout the shoot. The series reunites the two stars who previously co-starred in a film released decades ago.
