After the disappointing box office performance of the first film — a particular blow to Kevin Costner, who had personally invested $38 million (£28 million) — plans for a theatrical release of the sequel were scrapped.
Amid this setback, serious allegations of sexual discrimination and harassment have surfaced from the production. Stuntwoman Devyn LaBella has filed a lawsuit, claiming she was involved in a “violent, unscripted, and unscheduled rape scene.”Costner’s legal team has firmly denied the allegations, stating they are “entirely without merit.”Despite its myriad of challenges — most recently allegations of sexual discrimination, sexual harassment and creation of a hostile work environment based on sex on set — production on Horizon appears to be continuing, though not without ongoing challenges. While the first film is available on Netflix, the second has yet to be made available on streaming after it failed to have a theatrical release. When asked if he's heard an update about the second chapter's release, Glynn Turman, who appeared in the second film and is meant to also feature in the third installment, confessed: "Not a thing."

Although filming for Part 3 reportedly kicked off, Turman revealed to ScreenRant: "I don't know if they've continued it."
Speaking to ScreenRant, he elaborated: "I think there was a temporary shutdown and I don't know if they went back, but Part 2, I can't wait to see."
While the first installment is already streaming on Netflix, there’s still no official word on when Horizon: Chapter 2 will be released.
Turman admitted he's completely in the dark about the timeline.
“It’s a bit frustrating—not just for me, but for everyone involved,” he said. “That said, I really love Part 1. It reminds us of classic filmmaking—story-driven, immersive—and Kevin is one of the best at delivering that. I truly admire the bold move he made.”

Speculation around the project's rocky production and Kevin Costner’s split from Christine Baumgartner has fueled rumors about why he exited Yellowstone just as it was building toward its finale.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the veteran actor reflected on his career trajectory:
“I don’t mind going along with the crowd, but if they’re not heading where I want to go, I have no problem taking my own path.
“I’m just hoping to find that rare creative partner—man or woman—who wants to make meaningful films with me for the next decade. “Someone who believes in telling stories that might actually stand the test of time.”
