FOX Nation has signed its second deal with Academy Award-winning actor and filmmaker Kevin Costner for a three-part limited series entitled “Yellowstone to Yosemite with Kevin Costner,” announced Lauren Petterson, president of the streaming platform.
Hosted and executive produced by Costner, the release follows the breakout success of Costner’s “Yellowstone: One-Fifty,” which premiered on FOX Nation in 2022. Episode one will debut on Saturday, February 8th, kicking off the steaming platform’s year-long “America 250” campaign, commemorating the country’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
In making the announcement, Petterson said, “Kevin Costner has a unique ability to capture the American experience and captivate an audience through his extraordinary storytelling. With the enormous success of our first project together, there is no filmmaker that better embodies the spirit of America 250 than Costner.”
Costner added, “Once in a while, you come across a story that has that truly special mix of elements; it's stranger than fiction and happens against all odds. It results in something that legitimately changes the world for the good and, most importantly, it all really happened. The story of President Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir's camping trip through Yosemite is one of those truly special ones, and I'm excited to dig into the next chapter of the preservation of the American frontier.”
“Yellowstone to Yosemite with Kevin Costner” will consist of three episodes featuring Costner as he traces the footsteps of the pivotal 1903 Yosemite expedition of 26th President Teddy Roosevelt and environmental advocate John Muir. Through spectacular visuals of the geology, flora, and fauna of Glacier Point to El Capitan, Yosemite Falls and more, Costner brings the fascinating journey and long battles to preserve the American frontier to life. Juxtaposed with Costner’s active exploration of the park, each episode delves into the history behind the journey that changed America.
