Fans of the ever-expandingTaylor SheridanTV universe can finally treat themselves to the first teaser trailer for the prolific filmmaker's latest series,The Madison.
Michelle PfeifferandKurt Russellstar as Stacy and Preston Clyburn, members of a moving and shaking New York City family that relocates to the windswept plains of Montana after suffering a profound tragedy.
"My center, my soul, is gone," Pfeiffer proclaims at the beginning of the new teaser. A shot of the Williamsburg Bridge fades to a grief-stricken Pfeiffer falling to her knees in the titular Madison River, a tributary of the Missouri River that forks through much of the Big Sky state.
Pfeiffer and Russell are two of the biggest stars to step into the dust-caked shoes of characters in Sheridan's rugged part of the world. Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and Zoe Saldaña have also appeared on various other Sheridan shows, which teem with greater star power with each successive iteration.
While the casting of the stars ofThe Age of InnocenceandThe Thingwas previously known, Sunday's new teaser reveals a new character: Dr. Phil Yorn, a New York City therapist played by Will Arnett.
"You will heal, if you let yourself," he tells a client in the teaser.

"What do I have? Before I'm too old to do anything more than just remember," Russell ponders over a majestic orchestral score.
Pfeiffer, made flinty and raw by heartbreak, tells an unseen companion on the porch of her new little house on the prairie, "I've decided to feed this," as she points to her heart, and, pointing to her brain, adds, "and never factor this into the equation."
