\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tThe next stop in the Yellowstone universe is a spinoff starring Luke Grimes\u2019 character, Kayce Dutton. Yellowstone, which premiered in 2018, introduced viewers to the fictional Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in Montana. After finding success on Paramount, creator Taylor Sheridan grew the Yellowstone world with prequels 1883 and 1923. CBS ordered Y: [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Grimes didn\u2019t expect to be so affected by his time as Kayce Dutton coming to an end.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201c[It was] a lot bigger of a life moment than I thought it would be,\u201d he noted. \u201cTo try to put that show away, it was hard. It was really hard, and I know this is going to sound weird, but it was sort of emotional. It was like losing a family in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was even harder to say goodbye to the rest of the cast and crew. \u201cNobody wanted it to be over,\u201d Grimes said. \u201cI don\u2019t think the fans wanted it to be over. A lot of us actors kind of didn\u2019t want it to be over, and the studio and network certainly didn\u2019t want it to be over.\u201d<\/p>\n
Later that year, Kayce got a second chance to continue his story when CBS<\/a> ordered a spinoff titled Y: Marshals<\/em>.
