Ben Schnetzer talks about The Madison Seasons 2 and 3
In an interview with The Playlist, Ben Schnetzer teased The Madison season 2’s release timeline on Paramount+. The actor, who plays Sheriff Van Davis, revealed that season 3 could begin filming in early 2027. He told the outlet, “I think it’s going to be the top of ’27.”
Schnetzer also suggested the season 2 premiere could align with the start of season 3 production. He explained the connection between the two milestones in his response. “I think they’re kind of timing it with the rollout of when they drop season 2,” he said.
However, the actor cautioned that nothing has been officially confirmed by the network yet. He maintained a measured approach to the timeline, staying true to his practical mindset. “Until they tell me I’m… So, I’m just stoked we’re going to come back for season 3,” Schnetzer added.
The Madison debuted on Paramount+ in March 2026 with six episodes led by Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell. The Western drama drew over 1 billion minutes viewed in its first week alone. Paramount subsequently renewed the series for both a second and third season.
Schnetzer also shed light on the unique production schedule behind the first two seasons. The cast shot season 1 in fall 2024 and then wrapped season 2 in fall 2025. Russell and Matthew Fox filmed their scenes separately due to scheduling conflicts and Montana’s harsh winter conditions. Fox will not return for season 2 after deciding against a long-running television commitment.
Meanwhile, Schnetzer is preparing to shoot The White Lotus season 4 on the French Riviera. The Madison’s supporting cast includes Beau Garrett, Patrick J. Adams, Kevin Zegers, and Will Arnett.
The Madison is available to stream on Paramount+.
