Monica & Kayce Spinoff CONFIRMED?! Kelsey Asbille Spills the Tea! đ±
In a stirring turn of events, Yellowstone star Kelsey Asbille has dropped tantalizing hints about an âepicâ conclusion to the saga of Kayce and Monica Duttonâand fans are reading every line for clues. In recent interviews, Asbille has been refreshingly candid about the emotional crescendo of the series, the possibility of alternate endings, and a spinoff that just might carry forward the legacy of one of the showâs most beloved couples.
A Final Day to Remember: Smoke, Horses & Tears
Asbille recently recounted the unforgettable final day of filming Yellowstone, painting it as cinematic poetry in motion. According to her, the set was tenseânot just emotionally, but literally. The crew contended with creeping wildfires and thick smoke as they shot what would become the last time viewers would see Monica and Kayce in their storied world
They were perched on horseback, surrounded by cattle, and in that quiet, smoke-tinged dusk, nature itself seemed to yield: âthe clouds just part and the sun goes over the hill and itâs just gorgeous,â Asbille recalled. It was a moment of pure visual poetryâand a symbolic farewell to characters who had lived through blood, betrayal, love, and loss.
Asbille admitted sheâs terrified of horsesâbut by seasonâs end, Monica had fully embraced the cowboy life. âMy first day of cowboy camp ⊠they threw me in right with all the cattle, and Iâm just a mess,â she confessed. But trust in the wranglers and in the story carried herâand usâthrough.
âI Saw the End of Usâ â What Did Kayce Really See?
One of Yellowstoneâs most talked-about moments came at the end of Season 4, when Kayce returns from a vision quest, haunted and haunted, and whispers to Monica: âI saw the end of us.â The ambiguity of that line has fueled speculation ever since: was Kayce forecasting the demise of their marriage? Or foreshadowing a far greater collapseâof family, legacy, or land?
Asbille told TV Insider that she and Luke Grimes (Kayce) demanded clarity from creator Taylor Sheridanâand Sheridan obliged, granting them âa pretty good ideaâ of what that moment meant (though sheâs obliged to remain tight-lipped about specifics). To Asbille, that line wasnât just suspenseâit became a narrative seed. She hinted that Season 5 would transform that chilling prophecy into emotional power, making it a crucible through which Kayce and Monica emerge strongerâor forever changed
At the same time, Asbille suggested the relationshipâs journey would echo the broader Yellowstone themes: fighting for legacy, negotiating land and identity, and placing love at the crossroads of violence and family obligation.

Multiple Endings? Sheridanâs Secret Moves
One of the most tantalizing nuggets Asbille minced no words about: she believes Taylor Sheridan filmed multiple endings for key story arcsâincluding Kayce and Monicaâs. While she wouldnât reveal which version won out, she described the creative choice as âfittingâ and indicative of how much care went into mapping the charactersâ final stepson, and audience feeling. And for the actors, it means the final day was more than symbolic: it was the culmination of narrative threads stretched over years. Asbille called that final filming a day sheâll never forget
She also admitted that the cast was profoundly emotional, with âugly cryingâ and raw farewells dominating the wrap. What makes that even more compelling: Sheridan directed the final episode himself, meaning the farewell was not just a production necessity but a personal act of closure.
Spinoff Ambitions: Monica & Kayce Beyond Yellowstone
Perhaps the most electrifying possibility Asbille teased: a Kayce and Monica spinoff. Asked whether sheâd be âin,â her answer was unequivocal: yes. She described her love for the Dutton family and their world, and said sheâd follow Sheridan anywhere. She added that while she generally resists stretching a show past its organic end, she believes the Yellowstone universe could still tell rich stories.
Asbille remarked that the relationship between Kayce and Monica is defined by legacy and survival: Monica is devoted to the future, to family, and to preserving something meaningful beyond violence.Developing that over a spinoff would allow the story to explore quieter conflictsâparenthood, identity, and reconciliationâthat didnât always get full room amid Yellowstoneâs sprawling drama.
Of course, spinoffs are already in motion: following the finale, Yellowstone has spawned projects like The Madison, and Taylor Sheridan appears committed to expanding this Western tapestry. In that landscape, a show focusing on Kayce and Monica could slot perfectly as the bridge between epic saga and personal intimacy.
What This Means for Kayce & Monicaâs Legacy
Asbille insists that Kayce and Monicaâs ending is not a tragedy masquerading as closure. Though she refuses to spoil the outcome, she described it as satisfying, emotionally true, and resonant with how their journey began. She especially emphasized that she and Grimes had time to explore every facet of their characters: the doubts, the divides, the reconciliation.
That said, Asbille hasn’t shied from the idea that their road may not conclude in domestic idyll. Sheâs spoken before about Monicaâs struggle to accept the dangers that come with being Dutton, and how, at her edge, sheâs sometimes âdone.â The spinoff, if it happens, could hinge on how those fractures healâor donât.
Meanwhile, Yellowstoneâs finale dared a sweeping resolution: Kayce sells the ranch back to Rainwater and invites a new stewardship over the historic land.Monica and their son Tate retain residencyâsetting up a conditional return rather than abandonment. That delicate balanceâinheritance without ownershipâis the perfect soil for Kayce and Monicaâs next chapter, wherever it lies.
What to Watch For in Asbilleâs Interview
If you’re craving more direct insight, watch the full interview, where Asbille teases:
- The emotional weight of Sheridanâs multiple endings
- Anecdotes from the final day (smoke, horses, and heartbreak)
- Her readiness for a spinoff and how committed she is to Monicaâs future
Her take is not retrospectiveâit’s a bridge to whatâs next.
In short, Yellowstone may have come to rest, but Kayce and Monicaâs story might just be waking. And if Asbilleâs lips so much as twitch at hope, fans have reason to believe the legend is far from over.
Let me know if you want a breakdown of what those multiple endings might have entailedâor which version fans hope Sheridan chose.
