How Does Tom Selleck Feel About Blue Bloods Going Away And Donnie Wahlberg Making His ‘Cheap’ Spinoff? An Insider Speaks Out

by

Even though Blue Bloods finished airing over a year ago, the world of the show continues with the new series Boston Blue. Boston Blue debuted in October and is scheduled to return next month, with Season 2 already confirmed. Some beloved characters from Blue Bloods have even made appearances! While it’s unclear if Tom Selleck will reprise his role as Frank Reagan, sources are sharing what he thinks about the new show.

After Blue Bloods ended, Tom Selleck publicly expressed his disappointment. He admitted he wasn’t prepared to leave his role as Frank Reagan and even suggested possibilities for the character’s return. Therefore, it’s understandable that he might find it difficult to watch a new show featuring his Blue Bloods co-star, who played his on-screen son, according to a source who spoke with Globe Magazine.

Look, as a longtime viewer, it really stung to see Blue Bloods end before Tom Selleck’s character felt truly ready. And honestly, it’s a bit painful watching his former colleagues find success on Boston Blue, the spinoff CBS quickly threw together after the original show wrapped. It just feels…off, seeing them do well on a show that doesn’t quite capture the same magic.

Given how openly Tom Selleck discussed the end of Blue Bloods, it’s understandable if he’s disappointed about the potential Boston Blue reboot. He previously expressed his sadness over the original show’s cancellation, highlighting its long-running success on CBS. Regarding a role in the new series, he admitted he can’t play Frank Reagan indefinitely, suggesting he’s accepting that his time with the character may be finished.

Even if Frank Reagan isn’t reprising his role in Boston Blue, Tom Selleck isn’t retiring from acting. The Magnum P.I. star has stated he’s still eager to work, even at 80 years old. He’s recently changed talent agencies, moving from CAA to UTA, suggesting a new opportunity might be on the horizon.

Tom isn’t simply switching agencies; he’s making a major life change to prove he’s still committed to his career.

Paramount+ offers plans starting at $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year. You can choose between the basic Essential plan at $7.99/month and the ad-free Premium plan for $12.99/month.

With Boston Blue renewed for another season, there’s still hope Tom Selleck might make an appearance, if he ever decides to reconsider. Donnie Wahlberg mentioned they’ve been trying to work something out. Plus, Selleck doesn’t seem to be retiring from acting anytime soon, so he may have other projects in the works, even if it’s not on Boston Blue.

Rumors about Tom Selleck potentially returning to a new show, Boston Blue, will probably keep circulating until there’s an official announcement. In the meantime, fans can re-watch all 14 seasons of Blue Bloods on Paramount+. Boston Blue is scheduled to premiere on CBS on Friday, February 27th, at 10 p.m. Eastern Time.
