Luke Grimes Weighs In On “Very Profound, Beautiful Ending” Of ‘Yellowstone’

As the highly anticipated final chapter of Yellowstone approaches, a few of the show’s stars sat down with Entertainment Weekly to share their experience with finally bringing the juggernaut series to a close.

Kelly Reilly, who plays sharp-tongued Beth Dutton and the Taylor Sheridan hit, told the publication that in the end, the lengthy delay in production and Kevin Costner’s premature exit worked out for the best.

“It was always going to be five seasons in [Sheridan’s] head, but because the show became so successful, the network and everyone wanted more,” Reilly said. “So, in a way, fate took it and we ended this part of Yellowstone in a way that he always envisioned it to end.”

The British actress previously shared that while cast and crew weren’t privy to the exact details, they knew how the Dutton saga would end when they signed on to the project more than six years ago.

While he might have had the broad strokes, Luke Grimes (Kayce Dutton) said he waited until the last possible moment to find out how the show would end. 

“I read the last episode the day before we started filming,” he admitted to EW. “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.”

Get ready, y’all. Yellowstone makes its triumphant return to Paramount Network on Sunday, November 10.
