Is there a chance for a marvelous comeback?

Throughout the past year, the Internet has not let Kevin Costner 's name out of its sight for a single week, following every move the actor made as he officially left Taylor Sheridan 's Yellowstone in favor of producing his own western saga, Horizon. However, even this level of publicity could not save the first installment from a theatrical flop.

With one more movie in the Horizon franchise and two more to go, fans are eager to see what the star will do next. Will Kevin Costner return to Yellowstone, or will he continue his solo career in hopes of getting back on track? Here's everything you need to know about Kevin Costner's upcoming projects.

When Will Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 Come Out?

Though fans who followed Horizon's festival journey could see the theatrical flop coming a mile away, more casual viewers may be surprised to learn that one of the West's most prominent actors and writers has failed at the idea of a lifetime. Still, even after the staggering box office numbers, Horizon: An American Saga isn't finished yet.

According to representatives of New Line Cinema, it has been decided to postpone the theatrical release of the second part from August 16 to a date yet to be determined. For now, there is no talk of moving the series exclusively to digital, but the team believes that audiences need more time to become familiar with the first film on streaming platforms first.

Meanwhile, Costner is not ready to give up on two more movies in the series, determined to bring the whole story to life on the screens. According to the star, the scripts for all 4 installments of the saga are already complete, and in May 2024, the team began principal photography in Utah.

While Costner still has to consult with distributors and studio executives, there is no doubt that sooner or later all 4 parts of the Horizon will be available for all fans of the actor to watch and make up their own minds.

Will Kevin Costner Be Back to Yellowstone?

And what about Yellowstone? Well, that chapter is officially over. As the actor shared in an update on his Instagram account, there is no way for him to return to the set and give his beloved character, John Dutton, a proper send-off. As upsetting as it is for many fans of the show, it is time to move on.
