Legendary Actor Joins 'Yellowstone' Universe For Star-Packed New Show: DETAILS

The "Yellowstone" universe is adding some insane star power.

Creator Taylor Sheridan currently has the following spinoffs in the works that are expected to premiere across the coming next 12 months or so:

• "1944" - The third prequel series. Takes place after the events of "1923."
• "Dutton Ranch" (working title) - A spinoff focused on Beth and Rip.
• "The Madison" - Connection to the "Yellowstone" universe not known at this time.
• "Marshals" - A spinoff focused on Kayce (Luke Grimes).

There's no question Sheridan continues to cook up a lot of magic, and "The Madison" has now added one of the best actors in the game.

Kurt Russell joins upcoming "Yellowstone" spinoff.

Deadline reported Thursday that legendary "Miracle" star Kurt Russell is joining the upcoming spinoff "The Madison" in a major role. It was previously speculated more than a year ago that this was a possibility. Michelle Pfeiffer is also one of the faces of the series.

Plot details around "The Madison" remain closely guarded, and essentially nothing is known at all. Deadline reports the series is "a heartfelt exploration of grief and human connection, following a New York City family in the Madison River Valley of central Montana."

Seems a little bit outside the norm for Sheridan, but given his track record, I have no doubt he will make it work.

Russell is one of the most talented men in Hollywood, and he has crushed some major roles over the years. Obviously, playing Herb Brooks in "Miracle" is by far and away his best role, but it's far from his only outstanding one.

He was also exceptional in "The Hateful Eight" and "Escape From New York."

Now, he's joining forces with the most powerful visionary in Hollywood for a new "Yellowstone" spinoff. It's just the latest sign that Sheridan attracts legitimate A-list talent for his shows.

That includes Kevin Costner, Jeremy Renner, Sylvester Stallone, Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Sam Eliott, Michelle Pfeiffer and now Russell.

The man is absolutely crushing it.
