The Dutton saga continues! Luke Grimes, beloved for his portrayal of Kayce Dutton in the hit series Yellowstone, is returning to the screen in a brand-new spinoff, Y: Marshals. In an exclusive interview, Grimes shared his thoughts on the upcoming series, hinting at a poignant farewell to the world of Yellowstone while embracing a new chapter for his character.
