Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes and more say goodbye to ‘Yellowstone’

Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes and more say goodbye to “Yellowstone.”

Several cast members took to social media to mark the end of the series — co-created, written and often directed by Taylor Sheridan — when it aired its final episode on Sunday, December 15.

Reilly, who played Beth Dutton, shared one posts on Instagramwrites in the caption, “Whatever the future holds, this is the end of the show we’ve made for the past 7 years. Words can’t convey how I feel about the people I got to work and create with over the seasons . I’ve made real lifelong friends.”

“The support of the crew and the trust and dedication of the cast. The words I got to say and the woman I got to inhabit. It changed me. It turned me on. It challenged me in every possible way, and for that I will forever be grateful that,” she added. “For Taylor Sheridan who took a chance on me and continued to write her in ways that made me feel on fire as an actor. Thank you Taylor.”

Reilly ended with a message to the show’s fans, writing, “Thank you, the audience we made it for, for being on this journey with us. We were really interested in making something special for all of you….”

Grimes kept his message short and sweet as he said goodbye to his character Kayce Dutton and the show.

“The end of an era,” he wrote in one Instagram posts. “Goodbye Kayce. You are a better man than me. To my yellowstone family, thank you for the experience of a lifetime.”

Kelsey Asbille, who played Kayce’s wife Monica, reflected on her on-screen partnership with Grimes.

“Sharing the screen with Luke over the last 7 years was such a dream,” she captioned one Instagram posts.

One of the youngest “Yellowstone” cast members, Brecken Merrill, who played Kayce and Monica’s son Tate, went to Instagram looking back at the show he grew up with.

“I keep seeing farewell posts and I think it’s time. Goodbye, Tate. It was an honor and a privilege to grow up with you,” he shared. “I am forever grateful to Taylor and my entire Yellowstone family.”

He added, “You are all magical creators and I am proud to know you.”

“Yellowstone” aired for five seasons between 2018 and 2024 and has spawned numerous spinoffs and spawned a television universe.

Paramount Network referred to Season 5 of “Yellowstone” as the “final installment” and “final cycle” in May 2023.
