Michelle Pfeiffer’s new Taylor Sheridan series, ‘The Madison,’ has already sparked curiosity, but the actor has now revealed that filming ‘The Madison’ came with a few unexpected challenges behind the scenes.
While the location looked stunning on camera, Pfeiffer said the cast had to work through some very basic missing comforts while shooting the Paramount+ drama.
Michelle Pfeiffer Reveals Tough Conditions On ‘The Madison’ Set
Michelle Pfeiffer recently opened up about her experience filming Taylor Sheridan’s ‘The Madison‘ during an appearance on the ‘In Conversation‘ podcast. The actor, who plays Stacy Clyburn in the Paramount+ series, shared that the production did not have some of the usual on-set arrangements ready while filming.
She explained that the shoot felt rushed for everyone involved, and as a result, the cast did not have access to certain basic accommodations. Pfeiffer said, “It was all a little bit rushed for everyone, and so there weren’t certain accommodations set up.”
She then revealed just how limited things were on location. Pfeiffer added, “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 location may have looked beautiful and cinematic, but the cast had to cope with the absence of everyday necessities while filming the series.
The Stunning Location Came With A Big Behind-The-Scenes Problem
Pfeiffer did not deny the beauty of the filming location. In fact, she called it “breathtakingly glorious,” which makes the situation even more striking. The set clearly offered the kind of natural scale and visual atmosphere that Sheridan’s shows often rely on, but that same setup also created practical problems for the cast.

She added, “We didn’t really have trailers there, because they were shooting 360, so they couldn’t have a bunch of trailers around. So there’s really no place for us to sit. There was no bathroom nearby. There was no food. 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?’”
Since they were shooting 360 degrees, the production could not place trailers around the location, leaving the actors without a normal resting area between takes. Pfeiffer also revealed that the weather made the shoot even harder. During winter, the cast dealt with the cold and asked for heaters. During the summer, the sun became so intense that she asked for an umbrella.
