EXCLUSIVE: Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman produced Civil War epic The Gray House has landed with Prime Video in the U.S. The streamer has snapped up the limited series, which is about a network of female spies who help turn the tide of the war. It will stream on Prime in early 2026.
The Gray House cast includes Mary-Louise Parker (The West Wing), Daisy Head (Harlots), Amethyst Davis (Kindred) and Ben Vereen (Roots). Roland Joffe directed the eight-part drama.
The drama focuses on the true story of a group of unsung women, a Virginia socialite, her mother, a formerly enslaved sister-in-arms, and the city’s most notorious courtesan. They operate deep inside the corridors of Confederate power and transform an underground railroad into an effective underground spy network, risking life and liberty.
As well as the news Prime Video has snagged the series, we have the first look at the poster for the series (below).

The ensemble cast also includes Paul Anderson, Ian Duff, Hannah James, Robert Knepper, Christopher McDonald, Colin Morgan, Rob Morrow, Colin O’Donoghue, Sam Trammell and Keith David.
The series comes from Paramount label Republic Pictures, which produces with Costner’s Territory Pictures, Freeman’s Revelations Entertainment and Leslie Greif’s Big Dreams Entertainment.
Greif, the man behind hit miniseries Hatfields & McCoys, wrote The Gray House with Darrell Fetty and John Sayles. He is also an EP alongside Freeman and his Revelations business partner Lori McCreary, Costner, Rod Lake and Howard Kaplan.
Paramount Global Content Distribution handles sales on The Gray House and cut the Prime Video deal.
The series will have a big-ticket soundtrack. Greif told Deadline last year that the show will feature an original song performed by Willie Nelson as well as numbers from Shania Twain, Killer Mike and Yolanda Adams among others. Jon Bon Jovi also co-wrote one of the songs on the soundtrack.
