Yellowstone’s Like Grimes Breaks Silence on Loss of Kevin Costner from Season 5

Yellowstone's Like Grimes Breaks Silence on Loss of Kevin Costner from Season 5

As a seasoned movie reviewer with a penchant for gritty western dramas and a soft spot for iconic performances, I must admit that the impending farewell of Yellowstone feels more like a bittersweet goodbye than an outright ending. The series has been a veritable goldmine of gripping storylines and complex characters, and the departure of Kevin Costner, who embodies the indomitable spirit of John Dutton, will undoubtedly leave a noticeable void.


As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be tuning into Paramount Network this weekend for the long-awaited comeback of my favorite series – the iconic Yellowstone. This is said to be its swan song, and while I can hardly contain my excitement, I know the final episodes will have a noticeable void due to the unexpected departure of a key cast member before filming the second half of Season 5. Luke Grimes, who brings Kayce Dutton to life on screen, has recently spoken about this gaping hole in an interview with People.

Talking about the effect of Costner’s absence on the film set, Grimes shared that at one point, the reality of the situation truly sank in. In his own words:

His absence was like realizing that it’s crunch time – we’ve got to steer this ship now, for real. I’d always sensed that the patriarch leaving would be a crucial part of the narrative. The question became: what next for these kids? What does this family do without their rock? Kevin Costner is such an imposing figure, truly an icon. His absence left a noticeable void. But as we’ve grown accustomed to, we’re still one big family here. It was just as captivating, and I hope the audience will find the story just as compelling… I believe they will.

The Yellowstone Franchise Has More to Give – But Maybe Not Season 6

Taylor Sheridan has truly become Paramount’s prolific creator in recent years, with hit series like Yellowstone, its various spin-offs, Tulsa King starring Sylvester Stallone, and Lioness featuring Zoe Saldaña. Even more projects are on the horizon for him, but it appears that a direct Season 6 of his most successful work, Yellowstone, may not be among them, a notion hinted at by Grimes.

In my perspective, everything hinges on Taylor’s creative vision. He needs to visualize it before he can put it into words, and I believe he won’t compose something unless he feels genuinely passionate about it. Essentially, we’re waiting to see if Taylor comes up with an idea that excites him, and that could be the game-changer for us.

Essentially, “Yellowstone” is set to conclude with its fifth season’s second part. However, if a vision inspires Sheridan to return to the current Duttons in the future, there might be more stories to tell. There are indications that other shows are being prepared to fill the void left by the flagship series, such as “The Madison.” Additionally, a new season of “1923” is planned, along with two spin-offs: prequels titled “1944,” and a new series called “Landman,” which features Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore. This upcoming series will be released on Paramount+ starting from November 16th.
