Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Kevin Costner's highly-anticipated new Western movie Horizon: An American Saga appears to take great influence from the wildly popular series Yellowstone. Costner will appear in the final six episodes of the acclaimed Paramount+ show that is set to conclude earlier than it would have initially liked to as a result of Costner's surprising departure.
Costner's decision to leave Yellowstone after season 5 is due to a number of behind-the-scenes issues in conjunction with Costner's devotion to his passion project, Horizon: An American Saga. Costner returned to the director's chair on Horizon for the first time since 2004's Open Range, marking a clear distinction between his association with Yellowstone, which he stars in but does not direct, and his eventual Horizon franchise.
Horizon will also cover several historical eras just as the Yellowstone franchise successfully did with its prequel series 1883 and 1923. This narrative structure will allow Horizon to essentially become a movie version of Yellowstone in some ways with the potential for further developments in television and streaming series.
Will Horizon Be Worth Kevin Costner Leaving Yellowstone For? Costner is certainly taking a risk by leaving Yellowstone behind and essentially betting on himself that he can create a comparable if not better Western franchise. While it will be no easy feat for Costner to achieve a similar level of success with his Horizon movies, the weight and appeal of his name alone should at least attract a wide audience from the start.
