Grimes told PEOPLE earlier this year that he was "ready to tell the end of the story."

"For seven years, we've been doing this, and we started in 2017. That's crazy," he said. "It's changed my life in every way possible. Nothing will ever be the same because of this show in all sorts of ways, good and bad. I will miss it terribly."

The actor and his wife relocated to Montana to Yellowstone, and the two intend to stick around after it ends. "My wife and I love it out there," Grimes told PEOPLE. "I think it'd be a great place to raise a family."
