Actor Luke Grimes talks final chapter of ‘Yellowstone’: ‘It starts high and ends higher’

The popular series “Yellowstone” is coming to an end, with the final episodes beginning November 10 on Paramount Network.

“All I’m saying is don’t look away, buckle up. It’s really quick, it’s only six episodes and a lot happens. It starts high and ends higher,” said the actor Luke Grimeswho plays Kayce Dutton, the youngest child of patriarch John Dutton, played by Kevin Costner.

Grimes called the show’s ending powerful and profound in an interview with “CBS Morning.”

“I think you know, whenever you’ve spent a lot of time on a show, you want the ending to wrap everything up in a way that satisfies you and makes you feel like you didn’t waste your time. I feel like that’s what this finale does.”

The show films in Montana, where Grimes and his wife have been living and creating their new home for over four years.

“My wife is from Brazil. I’m from Ohio. There was no place we lived that felt like home to both of us at the same time, so we had to find that, and we found that in Montana,” he said.

As the show neared its finale, Grimes said he would describe his experience as “epic.”

“In the beginning it was just a great group. It’s a great project,” Grimes said. “It ended up being a big cultural thing that we were all involved in, and we filmed it for seven years in a beautiful location. It was just that all the elements were there.”

In addition to “Yellowstone,” the actor is a new father.

“Sleepless, but amazing,” Grimes said of his love for fatherhood with a 6-week-old baby. “He changed our lives a lot.”

Grimes also released his first country album and said his love of singing goes hand in hand with his desire to act.

“I think it’s the same reason I like movies and TV, which is stories. I think songs are kind of mini stories, and especially country music, the lyrics really mean something and they’ve always helped me kind of get through my own life.”

Paramount Network is a subsidiary of Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS News.
