This clicked for me while watchingYellowstoneseason 5, episode 10, The Apocalypse of Change.
The chapter was muddled with flashbacks to before Johns death.
Im relieved its happening, because Kayce will be great in his show.
It would have been unthinkable to delegate Kayce to the background as Beth and Rip took the spotlight.
Especially after the events ofYellowstoneseason 5, part 2, Kayce deserves to be a main character.
Johns son rose to the challenge of protecting his legacy, despite selling the familys heirloom ranch.
It has expanded into a franchise with spin-offs such as1883and1923, and an upcoming sequel series is in development.
