Finished Yellowstone? Kevin Costner’s Next Big Projects, From Horizon to New Thriller Headhunters
After five seasons, Yellowstone has officially closed the book on the Dutton family saga. But Kevin Costner isn’t slowing down. The Oscar-winning actor and director has lined up several ambitious projects that will keep him firmly on Hollywood’s radar — and not all of them are Westerns.
Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 3
Costner’s magnum opus, the Horizon series, continues. The sweeping Western epic explores the violent, uncertain expansion of the American West through multiple generations. Costner stars as Hayes Ellison while also directing, proving his passion for the project runs deep. With Chapter 3 on the horizon, fans of Yellowstone will find plenty of familiar grit and grandeur here.
Headhunters (2026)
In a dramatic shift from frontier life, Costner dives into a dark new thriller. Headhunters follows Lazer, an expatriate surfer who leads a crew to a remote island in search of perfect waves. But paradise quickly turns deadly as they encounter territorial locals who will do anything to protect their land. Directed by Ariel Vromen (Criminal), the film is already being touted as a nail-biting survival story with Costner at its core.
Untitled Passion Project
For years, Costner has nurtured a personal script — one he both wrote and hopes to bring to the screen under his own direction. While details remain under wraps, insiders say this project blends Costner’s classic storytelling style with intimate, character-driven drama. Production is rumored to begin by the end of the year, making it one of his most anticipated creative ventures.
Honeymoon with Harry
Showing his versatility, Costner also steps into dramedy territory with Honeymoon with Harry, co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Based on Bart Baker’s novel, the story follows a grieving groom-to-be who embarks on his canceled honeymoon alongside his late fiancée’s father — played by Costner. Expect humor, heartbreak, and unexpected healing in this emotional two-hander.
Final Thoughts
Kevin Costner may have said goodbye to Yellowstone, but his career is blazing ahead. From sprawling Western sagas to chilling thrillers and heartfelt dramas, his slate proves he’s still one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood. Whether you crave the rugged landscapes of Horizon or the intense suspense of Headhunters, Costner’s next chapter is shaping up to be just as compelling as the last.
