Kevin Costner as Hayes Ellison in Horizon against a wagon chase scene.
Summary It may seem like a setback, but Kevin Costner delaying the release of Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 might save his franchise plans. Costner may not have as many Westerns to his name as Clint Eastwood or John Wayne, but he's still very closely tied to the genre. Kevin Costner Westerns like Dances with Wolves or Open Range are some of the best to come out of the genre following its Golden Age, and even Yellowstone is a Western of sorts.

The movies were always more likely to find an audience at home regardless, which is why some are baffled Costner didn't mount it as a limited series. In an ideal world, Chapter 1 would have been a comfortable success and eager fans would have rushed to Chapter 2 soon after, but as the box office shows, the audience just isn't there for it yet.
A Bigger Gap Between Horizon Movies Makes Costner's Two-Part Story Accessible Audiences need some time to absorb Horizon's first chapter Close Costner obviously envisioned Horizon: An American Saga to be a major event in the summer of 2024, but this approach again suggests the story was a better fit for television. Releasing Chapter 1 in June and expecting audiences to return for Chapter 2 in August was the very definition of optimism, and was simply too tight oa window.
