Luke Grimes is opening up about Yellowstone without Kevin Costner! The 40-year-old actor has been starring as Kayce Dutton, one of the sons of the 69-year-old actor’s character John Dutton, since the beginning. In a new interview ahead of the Paramount Network television show’s return this weekend, Luke dished on what it was like filming the second half of season five without Kevin. Keep reading to find out more… “Him not coming back felt like, ‘Okay, we’re going to have to land this plane now for real,’” he told People. “I think the patriarch leaving was always going to be part of the story. That’s always where it was headed is like, what do these kids do? What does this family do when their rock is gone?” “Whatever the circumstances may be, [it] definitely felt like, ‘Okay, we’re coming in for a landing,’” he added, acknowledging the drama around Kevin‘s exit. “It definitely felt different.” “He’s a big presence, man, guy’s an icon,” Luke shared. “So not having him around to set felt a little different. But as always, I mean, we’re a big family now. It was just as special and hopefully, the fans will be able to connect with the story just as much … I think they will be able to.” Luke also spoke to the possibility of the show continuing after the end of the season. There are rumors it could get another season! “I think when anything is this successful, there’s a pressure to keep it going because they know they have an audience and that’s what they’re looking for,” he said. “But it all comes down to Taylor [Sheridan's] vision. He has to see it to be able to write it, and I don’t think he’s going to write something that he doesn’t want to. Basically we’re just going to see if Taylor has an idea that he gets excited about, and that’s going to make all the difference here.” If you missed it, check out the season five part two trailer and tune in for the return on Sunday (November 10)!
