Kevin Costner facing $400,000 lawsuit after Horizon 2 delay
Following a successful first season run, one of Taylor Sheridan’s best series is back to continue its winning ways on streaming following the
premiere of Season 2 earlier this month. Released in November 2024, the neo-Western that some critics say “makes Yellowstone look like PBS” became an instant hit on Paramount+, and even earned itself a Golden Globe nomination.
Starring Billy Bob Thornton, Landman made its triumphant return to Paramount+ on November 16, 2025, with its Season 2 premiere that picked things up a few weeks after the explosive Season 1 finale. The new season is already proving to be just as successful as the first, especially when you consider that the series is currently…
The Bodyguard star, 70, is being sued by Western Costume Leasing Company, who had agreed to provide costumes for the film, for breach of contract. They are seeking over $400,000 in damages and fees.
As Us Magazine reported, the complaint was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court and claimed that Costner and his codefendants hired Western Costume and “agreed to pay for the costumes and return them undamaged.”
They alleged that the production ran up an unpaid bill of $134,256.82. They are seeking for that bill to be settled, which, along with other “associated fees and costs,” they estimate to total “in excess of $200,000.” They are also asking for another $200,000 in attorneys’ fees.
The first film in the proposed Horizon series was released in June 2024. and failed to make back its $50 million budget. It was also panned by critics, with The Independent’s Clarisse Loughrey awarding it two out of five stars.
“The first chapter in Kevin Costner’s four or possibly even five-part cowboy epic is the movie equivalent of a three-hour ride around a western theme park,” wrote Loughrey.
“If you’re a fan of Stetsons, stirrups and six-shooters – and if you have plenty of patience – you may enjoy the experience. But there’s a hell of a lot of waiting around before you get properly in the saddle.”
The second film in the series was originally set to be released in August 2024. However, following the first film’s box office performance the theatrical release was scrapped and the film was indefinitely postponed.
LaBella, 34, also claimed that she was hired on the condition that an intimacy coordinator would be present for all nude or intimate scenes. This condition reportedly fell through the cracks when, on May 2, 2023, LaBella was called to set to fill in for Hunt, who allegedly refused to participate in the scene, according to the suit.
Costner denied all allegations related to that suit. His attorney, Marty Singer, said in a statement to The Independent that the director “always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously.”
