Filming for “The Madison” has been beautiful but brutal, Michelle Pfeiffer has admitted. The actress said shooting for the show in Montana was a test of endurance.
The Golden Globe-winning actor revealed that the crew behind Taylor Sheridan's new Paramount+ series had to endure harsh outdoor conditions, managing the entire on-location shoot without access to basic everyday comforts.
In a recent interview, Pfeiffer said the production setup was "all a little bit rushed for everyone, and so there weren't certain accommodations set up. There is no bathroom, even the outhouse is not real. So there's no AC, there's no plumbing, there isn't anything. But it is breathtakingly glorious."
The actor explained that filming in remote outdoor locations also meant the production could not keep traditional trailers nearby because scenes were being shot in full 360-degree environments. "So there's really no place for us to sit. There was no bathroom nearby. There was no food," she said.

Pfeiffer also shared the weather challenges faced during production across different seasons. "And in the winter, it was cold. It was like, 'Could we have a heater?' And in the summer, it was like, 'Could I get an umbrella because the sun's really intense?'" she added.
In “The Madison”, Pfeiffer plays Stacy Clyburn, whose family relocates to rural Montana while grieving the death of family patriarch Preston Clyburn, played by Kurt Russell.
The series continues to expand on Paramount+, with the platform granting it an early season 3 renewal in April, shortly after the season 1 finale aired in March.
Although not officially announced by the studio, season 2 reportedly completed filming last fall.
