Nevertheless, Costner leaving the present — a sequence Grimes surprisingly turned out to not be all that keen on — may need been greatest not just for the sake of some slightly compelling storytelling, however for his former costar, too. Grimes stated in an interview with Esquire:
“I wish to just like the present, and I guess sooner or later I’ll, but it surely was form of onerous to as a result of I used to be nonetheless in it. I wish to give it a pair years, and simply to cleanse the palate. Then I am going to undergo all of it […] Hopefully, everybody can see that it was time. To be actually sincere, there was part of Kevin being gone that meant a few of the battle was gone. Clearly, it did not make it tremendous enjoyable to be round. Not pointing any fingers, but it surely was really the simplest season we have filmed.”
Regardless of Costner controversially exiting Taylor Sheridan and John Linson’s immensely fashionable neo-Western sequence to work on the much-maligned film Horizon, 11.4 million viewers tuned in to witness the Yellowstone Season 5 finale on the Paramount Community (per Selection).

The latter returned his household’s extremely coveted Montana lands to the reservation, minus East Camp, which is the place Kayce, his spouse Monica (Kelsey Asbille), and son, Tate (Brecken Merrill), will reside shifting ahead.
Of his “dumb cowboy” character determining the way to save the Dutton ranch’s valuable acreage from being commercially developed, Grimes had this to say in the identical sit-down:
“It was a operating joke on set that the dumb cowboy figured it out. Kayce’s form of the silent killer, and it is nice every time he will get to make use of that vitality for one thing good. He is a personality who’s below his father’s thumb — simply sinking into the background as a result of he would slightly be not observed than must do the sh*t his dad wished him to do. Now he will get to step up and determine all the things out. So, it was a pleasant payoff for me.”
