'Madison' director talks Taylor Sheridan show with emotional 'fireworks'

Taylor Sheridan's \

There's a crisis in the first trailer for Taylor Sheridan's "The Madison," which dropped on Tuesday. But the disaster doesn't detonate as in Sheridan's past projects, like "Yellowstone," or really anything from "Lioness" to "Landman."

Indeed, there are no explosions or action in the drama centered around modern-day Western sojourner Stacy Clyburn (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Montana-loving husband Preston (Kurt Russell).

But Stacy is clearly dealing with devastating loss in what is billed, in the trailer, as the "unexpected series" from Paramount hitmaker Sheridan, who writes and executive produces (coming to Paramount+ March 14).

"The action is coming from an emotional place. The fireworks are more internal than external," Sheridan-veteran director Christina Alexandra Voros ("Yellowstone," "1883," "Lawmen: Bass Reeves") tells USA TODAY. "The fireworks are not coming from exploding a meth house. They're coming from people having to come to terms and feelings of love and loss in an explosive way."

"The Madison" marks a TV departure for Sheridan, who is also executive producing the "Yellowstone" spin-off "Marshals", with Luke Grimes as Dutton-clan member Kacey in a primetime CBS procedural (starting March 1).
