The Western genre has seen fluctuating popularity throughout cinema history. Despite a decline in the 21st century, notable entries like “Yellowstone” revived interest. Kevin Costner’s exit from the show led to its end, possibly paving the way for his long-awaited passion project, “Horizon.” Fans eagerly await this major Western release and its planned sequels. Here we know about the Horizon: An American Saga Cast, Plot, and Everything We Know so far.
Horizon: An American Saga Release date
The first two chapters of Horizon: An American Saga will be released less than two months apart. Chapter One premieres on June 28, 2024, competing with the horror spin-off A Quiet Place: Day One. Chapter Two follows on August 16, 2024, facing off against the horror franchise film Alien: Romulus. Despite a lengthy wait since its 1988 commission, Horizon is finally nearing its release, after even being rejected by Disney following Costner’s 2003 film Open Range.

The plot
The official synopsis for Horizon: An American Saga from Warner Bros. reads:
Academy Award-winning visionary filmmaker Kevin Costner directs New Line Cinema’s vast “Horizon: An American Saga” Chapters One and Two, a multi-faceted chronicle covering the Civil War expansion and settlement of the American West. A story of America too big for one film, this true cinematic event also stars Costner, who co-writes with Jon Baird (“The Explorers Guild”) and produces through his Territory Pictures. In the great tradition of Warner Bros. Pictures’ iconic Westerns, “Horizon: An American Saga” explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won—and lost—through the blood, sweat and tears of many. Spanning the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, Costner’s ambitious cinematic adventure will take audiences on an emotional journey across a country at war with itself, experienced through the lens of families, friends and foes all attempting to discover what it truly means to be the United States of America.
