Kevin Costner | Actor, Producer, Writer
October 8, 2025 - He didn't work for nearly six years, while he waited for a proper break. That break came with The Big Chill (1983), even though his scenes ended up on the cutting room floor -- he was remembered by director Lawrence Kasdan when he decided to make Silverado (1985). Costner's career took off after that.
Kevin Costner On The Future Of His Ambitious Four-Part ‘Horizon: An American Saga’ Film Series: “I Will Figure Out A Way” – He said before that production for 'Chapter 3' is underway. He didn’t specify how far along, but promised, “I’m going to make 3.”
What ever happened to Chapter 2? That premiered in Venice in September, and there has been zero updates ever since. They simply said late 2024, but the year is almost over and we don't have a release date. More on reddit.com

November 24, 2024Though Kevin Costner‘s epic “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1″ only made $28.5 million in U.S./Canada after its fourth weekend in theaters, it's having its success upon release on streaming as it has become an immediate #1 on VOD top 10 lists.
I love Costner westerns, but no one, myself included, wants to spend 3 hours (3.5 with trailers) in a theater in 2024 watching 3 hours of a presumably 12 hour slow burner western. You want to watch that sort of thing at home where you watch it on your own couch, pause it, take 5, etc. I’ll watch it now that it’s available at home. More on reddit.com

November 17, 2024 - Bruh chapter one is my favorite western now and I want Kevin c to produce all four of these and go out with a bang but I guess the first one didn’t perform that well? Very sad very good movie Continue this thread ... I think it's both true that parts of part 3 have been filmed (in both 2023's shoot primarily about part 2 and a small shoot in 2024) and that some planned 2024 shoots were nearly all pushed to next year due to the initial film's poor release and Costner's need to work on the films.

I think Costner is hit or miss as a director, but I love him as an actor. I don't like Dances with Wolves but I love Open Range. I keep putting off watching Horizon after reading some of the critic reviews, but I think I'll check it out this week as I'm in a Western mood. Anyway, how do you guys feel about it?
