"THE MADISON" MARKS TAYLOR SHERIDAN'S BIGGEST DEBUT SEASON LAUNCH WITH 8 MILLION VIEWS GLOBALLY FOR PARAMOUNT+

SHERIDAN'S MOST WATCHED SERIES DEBUT AMONG WOMEN 35+

· It is the #1 original season by views among streaming originals for its first week of release (3/13-3/19) according to Luminate.

· The Madison, which has already been renewed for a second season, is Sheridan's most intimate work to date, unfolding across two distinct worlds - the beautiful landscape of Montana and the vibrant energy of Manhattan - as it examines the ties that bind families together.

· 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?).
