Luke Grimes on Yellowstone Season 5 Finale
Luke Grimes, who portrays Kayce in the series “Yellowstone,” has described the conclusion of Season 5, Part 2 as “perfect.” After a prolonged mid-season break, Taylor Sheridan’s acclaimed series is preparing to air its final episodes. The narrative will pivot towards John Dutton III’s children, especially highlighting the escalating conflict between Beth and Jamie, now that Kevin Costner’s character is definitively absent. Kayce’s storyline, however, also promises to be captivating, following Grimes’ recent insights about his character’s future in the Montana setting.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly (EW), Grimes expressed his contentment with the upcoming episodes of the neo-Western drama. Although he refrained from revealing any spoilers, he praised Sheridan for crafting a conclusion that delivers a fitting resolution for all characters. Grimes shared:
“I read the last episode the day before we started filming. I couldn’t be happier. I think it’s a perfect ending for the show for every character. It’s just a testament to what a good writer Taylor is, and it’s a very, very profound, beautiful ending. I can’t wait to sit down and watch it one day.”
Anticipating the End of Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2
Storylines That Demand Closure
The long-standing tension between Beth and Jamie is expected to take center stage, especially after being set up in the mid-season finale. Initially, it was anticipated that Costner’s John would continue to play a role, potentially mediating between his feuding children. However, his absence now suggests a more intense confrontation between Beth and Jamie. By the conclusion of Season 5, Part 2, Sheridan will likely reveal the victor in the Dutton family conflict.
Despite the cast and Sheridan keeping quiet about how Costner’s character will be written out, Kayce’s role amidst his siblings’ rivalry will be pivotal. Additionally, his personal journey will be explored further. After the focus on Monica’s grief and their shared loss in the first half of the season, Kayce will have the opportunity to navigate his own emotions, potentially linking back to the unresolved mystery of his father’s fate.
Concluding Yellowstone Without Kevin Costner
Addressing John Dutton III’s Absence
Concluding a beloved series like “Yellowstone” poses significant challenges, compounded by the necessity to explain the absence of its leading figure in the final episodes. The most plausible narrative solution might be to address John Dutton’s fate directly, potentially through his death in Season 5, Part 2.
Yellowstone's Worst Possible Ending Is Also The Best Way To Set-Up Its Kevin Costner-Less Future
It is crucial for Sheridan to clarify John’s status early in the upcoming episodes. With rumors of a sixth season, leaving John’s situation ambiguous would likely frustrate fans. Addressing the issue promptly will help manage audience expectations and prevent speculation from overshadowing the series’ conclusion.
