After Leaving Yellowstone, Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman Team Up for Gripping Civil War Drama The Gray House
A Powerful New Chapter for Costner
Following his dramatic exit from Yellowstone, Oscar-winning actor and director Kevin Costner has wasted no time diving into new territory — this time, with fellow Hollywood legend Morgan Freeman by his side. Their latest project, The Gray House, is a tense and emotional Civil War drama inspired by true events and produced for Prime Video.
Inside The Gray House
Directed by Roland Joffé, the series tells the astonishing real-life story of a group of courageous women who built a spy network deep within Confederate lines during the American Civil War.
At its heart are three extraordinary figures — a Virginia socialite, her mother, and a formerly enslaved ally — who risked everything to turn the Underground Railroad into a powerful intelligence operation. Their bravery and ingenuity helped change the tide of the war, making The Gray House both an intimate human drama and a sweeping historical epic.
With Costner and Freeman behind the scenes, audiences can expect a production that blends gripping storytelling with the authenticity and emotional weight both actors are known for.
What Has Kevin Costner Been Doing Since Yellowstone?
After parting ways with Yellowstone midway through Season 5 — amid reported scheduling conflicts — Costner poured his focus into his long-gestating Western film saga, Horizon: An American Saga.
The first chapter premiered in June 2024 but struggled at the box office, leaving the sequel, Horizon: Chapter 2, currently on hold while Costner seeks new financing for the remaining films. Despite the setback, Costner hasn’t slowed down.
He’s set to appear in Honeymoon with Harry, opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, and the psychological thriller Headhunters, directed by Steven Holleran. He also fronted the History Channel series Kevin Costner’s The West, reaffirming his love for stories that explore America’s past.
Returning to His Roots
While Horizon may be in limbo, The Gray House keeps Costner firmly within his comfort zone — storytelling grounded in history, heroism, and moral complexity. The addition of Morgan Freeman ensures the series will have both gravitas and heart, offering audiences an emotional yet thrilling take on a forgotten chapter of American history.
When and Where to Watch
The Gray House will stream exclusively on Prime Video in the coming months, marking one of the platform’s most anticipated prestige dramas of 2025.
For fans of Yellowstone and historical thrillers alike, this new collaboration between Costner and Freeman promises an unmissable blend of courage, espionage, and powerful storytelling.
