The Big Picture In 2018, Kevin Costner made his triumphant return to the Western with the Taylor Sheridan cable drama Yellowstone. After a rocky start, the show found its audience through reruns and streaming and has since spawned a franchise that includes more traditional horse operas, such as the acclaimed prequel miniseries 1883.
Since then, not only has cowboy-turned-actor-turned-filmmaker Taylor Sheridan generated 1883, 1923, and a host of other in-development projects, but audience interest has convinced other studios/networks to embrace their own ideas about what it means to bring gunslingers, horses, and six-shooters back to the small screen. Justified was revived for a brief miniseries in 2023, as was Deadwood for a 2019 movie continuation.
Now is certainly the perfect time for Kevin Costner to put himself back in the director's chair, and he's got a fully loaded barrel this time around. "When no one wanted to make the first one, I got the bright idea to make four," Costner told The Hollywood Reporter in February 2024. "I wanted it to step away from what we usually see in Westerns where there’s a town that’s already there. No one knows how came to be.
