Renowned actor Kevin Costner is once again partnering with Fox Nation for a new limited series. Titled "Yellowstone to Yosemite," this series serves as a sequel to his successful "Yellowstone: One-Fifty" program.
Fox Nation President Lauren Petterson praised Costner's storytelling abilities during the announcement, highlighting his knack for capturing the American spirit and engaging audiences.
This 3-part series, hosted and produced by the acclaimed star of "Dances with Wolves" and "Field of Dreams," will retrace the 1903 Yosemite expedition of President Theodore Roosevelt and environmentalist John Muir. The journey will explore the history of America's indigenous peoples, the arrival of newcomers, and Muir's transformation into a champion for wilderness preservation.
These historical threads weave together to form the narrative of the American frontier and the eventual establishment of the National Park System, which now encompasses 150 National Forests, five National Parks, and 230 million acres of protected land.
Costner expressed his enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing the unique blend of historical fact and impactful consequences that make this story so compelling. He's eager to explore this significant chapter in the preservation of America's wild spaces.
"Yellowstone to Yosemite" will launch Fox Nation's "America 250" campaign, a year-long initiative commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. The first episode premieres on Saturday, February 8th, with new episodes released weekly. Petterson emphasized Costner's embodiment of the "America 250" spirit, given the success of their prior collaboration.
