In 1995, Robert Schenkkan sold the film rights to The Kentucky Cycle to Kevin Costner and his HBO production partners. While Schenkkan was hired to rework the plays as a film or mini-series script, Costner has postponed production indefinitely. He does claim that he wants to do a film version of The Kentucky Cycle, but not until he can devote the proper attention to it.

The Kentucky Cycle has been performed at various theaters all over the country between 1992-1996, particularly at college drama departments and civic theater groups.
