I love the rich, heroic, and harrowing stories of the West. The people and their stories have always held a fascination for me, but there&#8217;s an urgency today to put those times and the men and women who we think we know in perspective, in the context of their times, without judgement,&#8221; said Costner. &#8220;This particular West project is significant for me as it marks a return to The HISTORY Channel, the home of my first foray into television with the &#8216;<em>Hatfields &amp; McCoys<\/em>&#8216;, and an opportunity to partner with the legendary biographer and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, who so artfully weaves together important stories that are at once expansive, intimate and true.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-1758886878\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Kevin Costner&#8217;s body of work on the American West has defined him as one of the finest storytellers of this genre and of our time,&#8221; said Goodwin. &#8220;What a privilege it is for my partner Beth Laski and I to collaborate with Kevin and his team and our trusted colleagues at The HISTORY Channel and RadicalMedia to portray with authenticity and accuracy a sweeping and nuanced portrait of the American West and its people, places, and movements at this pivotal time in American history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The stories of the American West are gripping and riveting narratives &#8211; some that are familiar and others that have yet to be told &#8211; yet all of them deserve to be shared on a large scale,&#8221; said Paul Buccieri, President and Chairman of A+E Networks Group. &#8220;It&#8217;s an incredible honor to reunite with Kevin and Doris &#8211; two truly powerhouse collaborators &#8211; who share our passion, vision, and commitment to create exceptional historically-based content that is the backbone of A+E Networks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Told through extraordinary characters, historical archive, and distinguished expert interviews, &#8220;<em>Kevin Costner&#8217;s The West<\/em>&#8221; (w.t.) will capture a multi-layered portrait of the American frontier from the literal trailblazers to the law enforcers and the bloody battles for both land and freedom.
