Yellowstone Star Luke Grimes Drops New Music and Embraces Rom-Com Role

Luke Grimes, known for his brooding portrayal of Kayce Dutton on the hit show Yellowstone, is making waves both on and off-screen. While fans eagerly await the return of Yellowstone’s fifth season, Grimes has been busy pursuing his musical passion and exploring a lighter side in his acting career.

Grimes recently unveiled a fresh rendition of his song “Hold On,” generating excitement among his fans. The track follows the success of his previous releases, and his collaboration with fellow musician Foy Vance has been met with praise.

Yellowstone’s hiatus due to a writers’ strike has provided Grimes with an unexpected opportunity to delve into his music. In an interview with People Magazine, Grimes revealed that filming for the second half of season five has been postponed. He expressed his eagerness to get back to work once the strike is resolved.

The strike’s impact extends beyond Yellowstone, delaying production on the prequel series “1923” and the Matthew McConaughey-led Yellowstone spinoff. There’s also uncertainty surrounding Kevin Costner’s return for the show’s final episodes.

Prior to the strike, Grimes discussed his desire to explore lighter roles. “I’ve been in Yellowstone for a while, dealing with intense and emotional material,” he told USA Today. “I wanted to experience something different, maybe a rom-com.”

Grimes’ wish has come true with his recent film, “Happiness for Beginners,” now streaming on Netflix. The movie features Grimes alongside Ellie Kemper from “The Office.” The story follows a newly divorced woman who embarks on a transformative backcountry adventure, encountering a cast of quirky characters along the way.

Grimes’ dedication to his music and willingness to embrace new acting challenges demonstrate his versatility as an artist. Fans can enjoy his musical talents while they patiently await Yellowstone’s return and his comedic turn in “Happiness for Beginners.”
