Grimes: No Contact with Costner Since Yellowstone Exit

Luke Grimes recently shared that he has had no contact with Kevin Costner since they last worked together on Yellowstone. Grimes clarified that this lack of communication isn't due to any animosity, but rather their busy schedules. He noted that Costner's exit from the series, which occurred amid reports of behind-the-scenes conflict, made filming the fifth and final season surprisingly straightforward.

Grimes admitted that Costner's absence removed some of the dramatic tension from the set, contributing to a less stressful filming experience for the final episodes. He fondly recalled the camaraderie of the earlier seasons but accepted that it was time for the show to conclude. Grimes also commented on the possibility of Costner returning for a Yellowstone spinoff, such as Marshals, suggesting it would be 'cool' but is unlikely at this point.
