Luke Grimes, known for his role as Kayce Dutton in the acclaimed series Yellowstone, elaborates on his thoughts about the much-anticipated season 5 ending. The show, created by

Taylor Sheridan, chronicles the Dutton family’s efforts to maintain their ranch amid increasing external pressures, often intertwining personal conflict with socio-political

themes. Yellowstone season 5, which will air its second part on November 10 and conclude the series, has seen the Duttons face rival land developers and government officials eager to

encroach on their territory.

There has been plenty of speculation over how Yellowstone will end, particularly since Kevin Costner will not be returning as patriarch John Dutton. During an interview with Newsweek, Grimes suggests that the finale will not only provide closure for ongoing storylines but will also introduce surprises that challenge viewers’ expectations. He also hinted that the conclusion will embody Sheridan’s signature unpredictability and intricate storytelling. He said:

I think true to Yellowstone’s, form, [viewers] won’t be able to see it coming. I feel like that’s the kind of beauty of Taylor’s [Sheridan] writing, and it’s always so surprising. It’s never what you thought it was going to be. But I think everyone will be really satisfied with, you know, if I would have tried to come up with an ending, I never would have come up with this one, but it’s the perfect one. Because I’m clearly not a writer and even if I was, it would not be as good as Taylor. But yeah, I think it’ll just be very satisfying because it’s, I mean, that’s what you want. That’s what you want. And the ending of a great show is something unpredictable and satisfying.

What This Means For Yellowstone’s Ending

Yellowstone Is Headed For A Dramatic Conclusion

The upcoming series finale will be pivotal, as it promises to encapsulate the dramatic tension that has characterized Yellowstone throughout its run. Grimes’ remarks reiterate that the series’ typical twists will be maintained while ensuring that the ending ties together various storylines that have built throughout the series. The Dutton family’s struggles, both internal and external, are set to come to a head, making the final season crucial for not only character development but also for larger thematic questions at play.

Sheridan’s ability to weave personal and political stakes into the fabric of Yellowstone has been one of the series’ defining aspects. From land disputes to questions of legacy, the show has remained consistent in exploring the cost of power and survival. Still, with John, a major Yellowstone character, off the board, it is clear the ending won’t be what anyone might have envisioned in previous seasons. With Grimes hinting that even those familiar with the show’s twists will be caught off-guard, the finale will hopefully deliver an ending that both satisfies and surprises.

Our Take On Grimes’ Yellowstone Tease

Expectations Are High

Grimes’ comments add to the growing anticipation surrounding the Yellowstone series finale. The extended hiatus between the start of season 5 and the back half has only increased interest in what is to come, and Grimes’ perspective on the finale raises expectations significantly. It can be difficult to pull off a satisfying conclusion, but the Kayce actor seems convinced Sheridan has done so. While many questions remain unanswered, hopefully the conclusion will remain true to Yellowstone‘s intricate narrative style, offering a fitting ending to the Dutton family’s ongoing legacy.
