In a compelling new series, Paramount+ unveils The Madison, created by Taylor Sheridan, renowned for his work on Yellowstone. The show features Beau Garrett and Elle Chapman as sisters navigating the tumultuous waters of family dynamics, set against the contrasting backdrops of New York City and Montana.
While the series delves into the profound emotional intricacies of sisterhood, Garrett and Chapman recently shared their experiences filming an intense fight scene in the third episode. Chapman, who portrays the younger sister, Paige, revealed that preparing for the sequence required considerable rehearsal. “We have an amazing stunt team, which made the process easier,” the 26-year-old actress noted. However, she admitted that executing the scene was slightly chaotic, particularly as she had to shove Garrett’s character against a bookcase.

Chapman expressed the emotional challenge of maintaining composure during the confrontational moments. “It felt a bit absurd at times,” she remarked, reflecting on the awkwardness of the situation. Still, she feels proud of what they accomplished. “We really had to commit to it, but I think we nailed it,” she added, revealing her relief at getting the scene just right.
Garrett, 43, described the experience from her perspective as the older sister, Abby. She found it surprisingly enjoyable, stating, “There’s a lot of emotions flowing in this show, and being able to channel that physically was a unique experience.” The actress explained how the sisters’ inability to process their trauma led to the explosive altercation. “This is a way for them to express their deep-rooted conflicts,” she articulated.
The dynamics between the two sisters are marked by their significant age gap and lack of connection prior to the fight. Garrett relished the chance to convey raw emotion through their differences, stating, “Abigail tries hard to maintain her composure throughout the series, but in that moment, she really lets go.” This exploration of anger serves as a vessel for the sisters to confront their feelings.
Interestingly, Garrett highlighted the distinction between her real-life relationship with her own sister and the one depicted in The Madison. “We’re nine years apart, but our relationship is very different; there’s no fighting involved,” she said, contrasting the intensity of her on-screen persona with her actual familial ties.
The Madison tells a broader story of the Clyburn family, portraying their lives as they navigate the vibrant energy of New York City alongside the serene landscape of Montana. Through its storytelling, the series promises to showcase the resilience and evolution of family relationships in the face of adversity.
In addition to Garrett and Chapman, the series boasts an impressive cast, including names like Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell. With a narrative steeped in personal and emotional depth, Paramount+ describes The Madison as “a profound love story channeled through a deeply personal family drama about resilience and transformation.”
The interplay between the mountainous backdrop of Montana and the bustling streets of Manhattan provides a visually striking contrast, setting the stage for an exploration of the ties that unite families despite their differences.
Currently, the first three episodes of The Madison are available for streaming on Paramount+, with the final episodes slated for release on March 21. The anticipation surrounding the series continues to grow as viewers eagerly await the unfolding of the Clyburn family’s story. Those interested in the complexities of sibling relationships and emotional conflicts are bound to find a rich tapestry of narratives to engage with in this new offering from Sheridan.
