“Kevin Costner’s Western With Morgan Freeman Lands at Amazon for 2026 Release”
Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman Reunite for Civil War Drama ‘The Gray House,’ Premiering in 2026 on Amazon
Former Yellowstone star Kevin Costner is teaming up once again with longtime friend and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves co-star Morgan Freeman for a powerful new television project titled The Gray House. Set during the American Civil War, the limited series is expected to debut on Amazon Prime in early 2026.
What Is The Gray House About?
Based on true events, The Gray House tells the remarkable and little-known story of a group of courageous women who created an all-female spy ring during the Civil War. Operating in close proximity to the Confederate High Command, a Richmond socialite and her daughter, a formerly enslaved Black woman, and a courtesan risk everything—freedom, safety, and even their lives—to gather and pass on critical intelligence to the Union.
General Ulysses S. Grant is said to have credited their bravery and strategic efforts as a key factor in helping the Union win the war.
Who Stars in The Gray House?
Mary-Louise Parker headlines the cast, joined by Daisy Head, Amethyst Davis, and Ben Vereen. The ensemble also includes Paul Anderson, Ian Duff, Hannah James, Robert Knepper, Christopher McDonald, Colin Morgan, Rob Morrow, Colin O’Donoghue, Sam Trammell, Ewan Miller, and Keith David.
Where and When Can I Watch It?
The Gray House will be available to stream on Amazon Prime. While a specific release date hasn’t been announced, the series is slated to premiere in early 2026.
Is Kevin Costner Directing The Gray House?
No, the series is directed by Roland Joffé. The eight-part limited series fits perfectly with Costner’s love of historical storytelling, especially given his work on Dances With Wolves, another Civil War-era project that earned him multiple Oscars.
What Has Kevin Costner Said About the Project?
Speaking about the series, Costner shared:
“The Gray House is an untold true story of three amazingly brave abolitionist heroes of the Civil War, who just happened to be women. Having a passion for history, it’s always personally fulfilling to share richly layered stories about America’s unsung heroes. I’m delighted to join forces with my friends Leslie Greif and Morgan Freeman with whom I’ve had great success to produce this important, epic saga.”
Costner also took to Instagram to post a nostalgic photo of himself and Freeman from the set of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991), expressing his excitement to work alongside Freeman again—this time behind the scenes.
Do Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman Appear in the Show?
While they don’t appear on screen, both Costner and Freeman are executive producers on the series, bringing their star power and storytelling experience to this ambitious historical drama.
