The Madison is the seventh spinoff from the Kevin Costner-led series, which premiered in 2018 and will debut its final season in November – though Costner has confirmed he will not be part of the second half of season 5 following rumors of his exit.
The first spinoff, 1883, was a prequel series starring Faith Hill and Tim McGraw as the Dutton family's 19th-century ancestors, James and Margaret Dutton, on their journey from Texas to Montana through the Great Plains.
Lawmen: Bass Reeves is a limited series – with no set premiere date as of yet – that merged with 1883 and will star David Oyelowo as the titular iconic lawman.
