‘Emotional’ Tom Selleck’s real feelings about the hotly-anticipated Blue Bloods spinoff have been revealed.
The screen icon, 80, played patriarch Frank Reagan on the CBS show from 2010-2024, alongside Donnie Wahlberg as Danny Reagan – who will lead the new series, Boston Blue.
A insider told Closer Selleck is open to the idea of coming back for a cameo on the new show, saying: ‘Tom’s been pretty vocal when it comes to his feelings about the network ending Blue Bloods. He did not want to say goodbye to that role, so naturally he’s very open to coming back and doing cameos on Donnie’s show.
The show will move from New York City to Boston.
Blue Bloods debuted in 2010, following the Reagan’s, a family of New York City cops, led by patriarch Frank Reagan (Selleck).
The law & order family also included his sons Danny (Wahlberg) and Jamie (Will Estes) and daughter Erin (Bridget Moynihan).
The series ran for 14 seasons spanning 293 episodes, coming to a close with the series finale in December 2024.
The new series will follow Wahlberg’s Danny, who takes a position with the Boston Police Department, the actor’s hometown, according to a CBS press release.
He will be teamed up in Beantown with Lena Peters, who is the eldest daughter in a prominent Boston law enforcement family.
The new series will be entitled Boston Blue and was given a straight-to-series order from CBS, bypassing the pilot phase completely.
The show is being eyed to debut on CBS at some point in the 2025-2026 TV season though no specific date was given.
