Straight to the Point: Tom Selleck’s Bold Reaction to ‘Boston Blue’ Cameo Buzz
Tom Selleck has spoken.
The “Magnum, P.I.” alum has finally addressed whether he might make a cameo in the new “Blue Bloods” spinoff, “Boston Blue,” following the original series’ surprising cancellation.
“I don’t know if I would do ‘Boston Blue,’” Selleck, 80, told Hour Detroit during a recent interview. “That’s another show.”
Selleck portrayed Frank Reagan, an NYPD officer and later police commissioner, on the hit CBS show from its 2010 premiere until its finale last year.
The series also starred Donnie Wahlberg (Danny Reagan), Bridget Moynahan (Erin Reagan) and Will Estes (Jamie Reagan).
Despite being one of CBS’ best-performing programs for its entire 14-season run, the network announced its cancellation in November 2023.
The final season concluded last December, and “Boston Blue” kicked off this past October.
“It was a huge disappointment, and I still don’t know why CBS did it,” Selleck said regarding the “Blue Bloods” cancellation. “If you get rid of the football, we were the sixth most popular series in all of television.”
Selleck previously shared his career plans after “Blue Bloods” during a chat with Parade shortly before the show’s series finale.
“I don’t know where my next job will take me,” he said last year. “A good Western is always on my list. I miss that. I want to sit on a horse again.”
“I would love to do another comedy. The right kind of comedy,” the “Three Men and a Baby” star continued. “‘Friends’ made people laugh and cry at times. That’s the kind of comedy I enjoy doing.”
At the time, Selleck expressed an interest in returning as Frank Reagan in “Boston Blue.”
