<p id=”par-3_39″>During an appearance at PaleyFest NY on October 10, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/yellowstone-star-luke-grimes-praises-beauty-taylor-sheridans-writing-ahead-season-5-every-year-has-felt-very-different-from-the-last.html/”>Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce</a>, weighed in on how difficult it was for him to reprise his <em>Yellowstone </em>role in <em>Marshals, </em>which recently began its season 2 run on CBS. </p>
<p id=”par-4_29″>“The thought of doing the show without Monica or Kelsey… it was very daunting at first,” Grimes said. “I couldn’t wrap my head around what that would be like.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_38″>However, Grimes acknowledged that while he might have wanted a positive ending for his <em>Yellowstone </em>character, that wouldn’t have made for a compelling show. “Watching people live a happy life is not super dramatic or entertaining,” he said. </p>
<p id=”par-6_21″><em>Marshals </em>showrunner and executive producer Spencer Hudnut also commented on the decision to kill off Monica ahead of the series premiere. </p>
<p id=”par-7_17″>“We had to put Kayce at rock bottom to get to wear the badge again,” he said. </p>
<p id=”par-8_20″>Grimes added that Hudnut’s enthusiasm for exploring what was next for Kayce made him agree to return for the spinoff. </p>
<p id=”par-9_38″>“I just remember I really liked Spencer I could tell he was a really intelligent guy and he was passionate about the project,” he said. “That was a really big reason why I decided to do the show.” </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-kayce-wrestles-with-his-feelings-about-his-late-father-in-marshals-season-2″>Kayce wrestles with his feelings about his late father in ‘Marshals’ Season 2 </h2>
<p id=”par-10_26″>Season 2 of <em>Marshals </em>will dive deeper into Kayce’s complicated feelings about his late father, which resurface now that Tate is close to becoming an adult. </p>
<p id=”par-11_73″>“A big part of Kayce’s arc in season 2 is this father-son relationship dynamic with his own father and dealing with that,” Grimes told <a href=”https://www.tvinsider.com/1296469/marshals-season-2-episode-2-kayce-john-dutton-tate-luke-grimes-interview/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TV Insider</a>. “[He’s] dealing with the fact that Tate’s about to turn 18, and who he’s gonna become, and what he’s gonna wanna do, which we find out through the season. There’s a lot of butting heads with those two, kind of how you saw with Kayce and John.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_25″>Kayce is “wrestling with the father-son dynamic,” the actor added. “And what kind of father he wants to be versus the father that he had.”</p>
<p id=”par-13_46″><em>Marshals </em>airs Sunday, October 18 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on CBS; it returns to its regular 8 p.m. timeslot on October 25.
