Yellowstoneseason 5 may have unveiled how Michelle Pfeiffer’sYellowstonespinoff,The Madison,connects to Kevin Costner’s series.Yellowstoneseason 1 introduced theDutton family treein 2018, with Costner leading the show as John Dutton III with his children, Beth (Kelly Reilly), Jamie (Wes Bentley), and Kayce (Luke Grimes). WhileYellowstonewas one of the most popular television shows of the last decade, it concluded with season 5 amidKevin Costner’s controversial departure.Still, theYellowstoneuniverse will continue to expand with a few upcoming spinoffs, including one with newlyweds Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser).
TheYellowstonefranchise has released two spinoffs thus far,1883and1923,although both series were prequels about the Duttons. Most of executive producer Taylor Sheridan’s newYellowstoneshows will take place in modern-day, including Michelle Pfeiffer’s upcoming spinoff. However, few details aboutThe Madison’s storyhave been released, leaving many to wonder how Pfeiffer’s saga will connect toYellowstone.That said,Yellowstonemay have given us a massive clue about Pfeiffer’s Stacy Clyburnand how she could potentially connect to the rest of John Dutton’s family.
Beth & Rip’s Yellowstone Spinoff Could Connect To Michelle Pfeiffer’s The Madison
Beth And Rip Move To Dillon In Yellowstone Season 5
Taylor Sheridan may have left a clue about how Stacy fits into the folds of theYellowstoneuniverse inYellowstoneseason 5’s finale, when Beth and Rip relocate to a ranch situated 40 miles west of Dillon, Montana. While the town that the Dutton-Wheelers move to may seem insignificant on first mention, Dillon, Montana’s location on a map is worth noting.Dillon, Montana, is located southwest of the Madison River Valley, with the journey between them spanning approximately 50 to 100 miles.
The Madison River valley is whereThe Madisongets its name, and it could also be a hint about how Stacy Clyburn and her family factor intoYellowstone’s tapestry.MichellePfeiffer’s spinoffwill take place in the Madison River valley, where Stacy Clyburn and her family will move after the death of their patriarch, and it’s close to Beth and Rip. While I don’t expect an abundant crossover betweenThe MadisonandBeth and Rip’sYellowstonespinoff, Sheridan could use the latter to draw attention to Michelle Pfeiffer’s series when Beth and Rip’s show premieres alongsideLandmanseason 2 in November.
Taylor Sheridan’s shows, especially within theYellowstonefranchise, inform each other, with small but significant connections betweenYellowstone,1883,and1923.The shows are also known for their ability to stand alone, with oneYellowstoneshow not needed to inform the next. That said, viewers who watch all ofYellowstone’s shows develop a deeper appreciation for the Dutton family and how different eras and clans contributed to the story. Similarly,Beth and Rip’s spinoff could informThe Madison,connecting to it without requiring the shows to depend on one another.

Beth And Rip’s Spinoff Could Be Yellowstone’s New Beacon
With Beth and Rip’s spinoff potentially anchoringThe Madison,it’s another possibility supporting the momentum behind the idea thatthe spinoff will replace Kevin Costner’s originalYellowstoneshow. Although it’s now in production, few details about its production are known, including its title. Still, it’s guaranteed that Beth and Rip’sYellowstonespinoff will keep essential elements of the original. Beth and Rip’s offshoot will feature two ofYellowstone’smost likable Duttons, returning Reilly and Hauser as their fan-favorite characters.
Therefore, likeYellowstone,Beth and Rip’s spinoff could potentially be used to launch newYellowstoneshows in the future, which was a key role of its predecessor. What’s certain is that with three modern-dayYellowstoneshows on the horizon, includingKayce’sY: Marshalsspinoff for CBS, Taylor Sheridan’s franchise shows no signs of slowing down. It would be exciting if Beth did cross over with Stacy Clyburn and the rest of her brood, since Taylor Sheridan’sThe Madisoncharacters represent what John Dutton was wary of, as New York City transplants.
