Tom Selleck Shares Disappointment Over Blue Bloods Cancellation as Final Episodes Approach
As Blue Bloods gears up for its final eight episodes, set to air in December 2024, star Tom Selleck has openly expressed his disappointment over the cancellation of the beloved series. The police procedural drama, which has captivated audiences for 14 seasons, will conclude following CBS’s announcement last year that Season 14 would be its last.
Frustration Over the Decision
In a recent interview with TV Insider, the 79-year-old actor, who has portrayed the steadfast Commissioner Frank Reagan, shared his feelings about the show’s ending. “I’m kind of frustrated,” Selleck admitted, highlighting his belief that Blue Bloods still had plenty of life left in it. He pointed out that the show had consistently performed well, even ranking high among television programs this season.
Selleck noted, “In a Top 100 Shows of 2023-2024, we were number nine out of 100. If you discount the three football shows, we’re number six!” His pride in the show’s success is evident, as he feels it has remained a strong contender in the competitive landscape of television.
A Legacy of Success
The cancellation has left Selleck and the cast reflecting on the legacy of Blue Bloods. He expressed that the show was often taken for granted, despite its strong viewership and dedicated fan base. “It’s frustrating because it’s always been successful from the start,” he explained, indicating that the show’s longevity and popularity should have been recognized more prominently.
Alongside Selleck, the series features talented actors like Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, and Will Estes, all of whom have contributed to the rich storytelling and family dynamics that Blue Bloods is known for. As the final episodes draw near, the cast and crew are preparing to honor the journey they’ve shared with fans over the years.
Looking Forward
Though Selleck has voiced his frustrations, he does not believe in holding grudges. Instead, he remains focused on delivering the best possible conclusion for the series. As fans gear up for the finale, there is anticipation surrounding how the show will wrap up its storylines and provide closure for the Reagan family.
As Blue Bloods prepares to sign off, Selleck’s reflections serve as a reminder of the show’s impact on both its cast and its audience. The final eight episodes promise to be a heartfelt farewell to a series that has carved out a special place in the hearts of viewers.
With the end in sight, fans are left to cherish the memories and moments that have defined Blue Bloods, eagerly awaiting the conclusion of this iconic series.
