While it’s still unclear whether the Dances With Wolves star will continue on with Yellowstone, he’s not staying silent about his latest project. Kevin first spoke to Variety about the project in June 2022, which will follow a 15-year period during America’s Western frontier and “focus on both the settlers as well as the Indigenous groups that first occupied the land.” He also explained his process of filming the four movies, which are currently being made over the course of eight months.

“It’s a really beautiful story; it’s a hard story,” he explained. “It really involves a lot of women, to be honest. There are a lot of men in it, too, but the women are really strong in Horizon. It’s just them trying to get by every day in a world that was impossibly tough … They didn’t ask to be in these territories that were unsettled and dangerous, and life wasn’t easy. I’ve chosen to make sure that was really obvious.”

What’s more, the Hatfields and McCoys alum noted the significance of the project to People in November 2022. “Horizon is incredibly meaningful to me. It’s really been the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it’s exactly what I want to do,” he told the outlet. “I wrapped this first one, and it took everything I had, but I’m holding on to the rope and not letting go.”
