Michelle Pfeiffer 'looking forward' to having most of 2026 off to focus on being a grandmother: ‘It's an embarrassment of riches’
‘Oh. What. Fun.’ star Michelle Pfeiffer plans to take most of 2026 off after daughter Claudia Rose Pfeiffer welcomed a baby.
Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell star in the upcoming series "The Madison" in a first-look reveal.
Prior to taking most of 2026 off, Pfeiffer filmed the "Yellowstone" spinoff, which is a "heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana," according to a synopsis of the show.
Aside from Pfeiffer and Russell, "The Madison" stars Beau Garrett, Elle Chapman, Patrick J. Adams, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack, Ben Schnetzer, Kevin Zegers, Rebecca Spence, Danielle Vasinova and Matthew Fox.

Pfeiffer told Fox News Digital in November that her priorities have shifted now that she's a grandmother, and she plans on not working as much in 2026.
"Well, I mean, look, I am feeling very blessed for the opportunities that are presenting themselves to me and loving the work. I've been like working with incredible cast members in all three things that I've done recently. Great directors, great material. However, little did I know my daughter was planning on getting pregnant, which she did successfully," Pfeiffer said.

"And, lo and behold, here I am working a lot. So, I think I'm going to have probably most of next year off, which I'm really looking forward to. Look, it's an embarrassment of riches, honestly. It's like, ‘Wah.’ I'm just really wanting my choices and the way I spend my time — whatever time I have left — to spend it meaningfully is what I'm focusing on."
