Like other Taylor Sheridan shows before it, The Madison on Paramount+ filmed on location in Montana for much of Seasons 1 and 2, making for some gorgeous work days. There was one night shoot, in particular, however, that stands out in Ben Schnetzer‘s mind.
Schnetzer plays Van, a sheriff living in the Madison River Valley who struck up an unexpected romance with Abigail (Beau Garrett) during her week in Montana after her father Preston’s (Kurt Russell) death. Their chemistry was instant and unignorable, even though their lives were opposites.
