Story summary

Luke Grimes, who played Kayce Dutton in "Yellowstone," revealed that he has not spoken to co-star Kevin Costner since 2024 when Costner left the show. Grimes told USA Today there is no bad blood but noted they are both busy and life moves on. When asked if Costner might appear on "Marshals," a CBS spinoff starring Grimes, he said it's unlikely. "If there was a flashback, I would want it to be with [Kayce’s wife] Monica rather than John,” Grimes stated, referring to actress Kelsey Asbille as more poignant for the character. Costner originally agreed to appear in "Yellowstone" for only three seasons but stayed longer due to its success; he exited after four seasons in 2024.
