PREVIEW

Luke Grimes sits down to discuss Marshals Season 1, the highly anticipated Yellowstone spin-off centred on Kayce Dutton. Grimes reflects on initially doubting the concept before being won over by the show’s evolved direction under its new showrunner, and how the series finally allows fans to see Kayce’s Navy SEAL skillset in action.

He also opens up about avoiding fan reactions online, the deeper meaning behind Kayce’s black hat, and the emotional weight the character carries following years of trauma. Grimes shares how playing Kayce has impacted his own life — even leading him to relocate to Montana — and how his growing connection to the Western lifestyle has informed his performance.

The actor discusses collaboration on the series, stepping into a producer role, and what fans can expect as Season 2 gears up for production. Plus, he touches on why Kayce has become such a beloved character, blending moral integrity with rugged cowboy and military appeal.
