Story summary

Luke Grimes, who played Kayce Dutton on "Yellowstone", revealed that he hasn't spoken to his co-star Kevin Costner since Costner's exit from the series two years ago. Despite this silence, Grimes insists there is no bad blood between them and attributes the lack of communication simply to their busy schedules. When asked about the possibility of Costner reprising his role as John Dutton on "Marshals", a CBS spinoff focusing on Kayce's life after leaving Yellowstone, Grimes expressed doubt, suggesting that any future appearances should involve Kayce’s wife Monica rather than John Dutton himself. The show, now in its second season, continues to explore Kayce’s journey as part of an elite U.S. Marshals unit based in Montana.
