In an unexpected development, Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga: Chapter 1 can now be streamed on Netflix.
“The Western, which came out in June 2024, is currently available for viewing.” The decision is unexpected, as earlier reports suggested that the film would be exclusive to Max. Nevertheless, it appears that this is no longer true.
The initial chapter of Kevin Costner’s intended saga debuted to largely mixed reviews, earning only $38 million globally against a $50 million budget. After its disappointing launch, New Line Cinema took the sequel — shot concurrently with Chapter 1 — off its initial release date of August 2024. The movie has yet to be released but did have its premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September 2024.
What information do we have regarding the sequels to Horizon: An American Saga?
Horizon: An American Saga was originally conceived by Costner as a four-part Western epic. It remains uncertain whether Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 will be released, although Costner has continued to express his dedication to producing the films in some form. In a recent chat with Deadline, he mentioned he would be producing the films in some manner or another.
“I’m unsure how I’ll manage it, but I’m planning to create [Chapter 3], and then I’ll work on the fourth one.” “And if you wish to declare ‘the end’ at that moment, then that signifies the conclusion.”
Horizon: An American Saga takes place across a span of 15 years during the Civil War in the United States. Currently, plot specifics are mostly being kept secret; nonetheless, as reported by Deadline, the film will feature Costner confronting natural challenges and engaging with the native communities impacted by the colonization of the American West.
In addition to directing, Costner appears in Horizon: An America Saga alongside Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, Abbey Lee, Michael Rooker, Danny Huston, Luke Wilson, Isabelle Fuhrman, Jeff Fahey, Will Patton, Tatanka Means, Owen Crow Shoe, Ella Hunt, and Jamie Campbell Bower. Costner is also acknowledged as a producer with Howard Kaplan and Mark Gillard.
