Tom Selleck Gives Surprising Answer When Asked If He’d Ever Join “Boston Blue” After “Blue Bloods” Cancellation
Tom Selleck is offering his thoughts on the possibility of stepping back into the role Frank Reagan
The Blue Bloods alum played the family patriarch on the CBS hit for 14 seasons from 2010-2024
Selleck weighed in on if he’d appear in spinoff Boston Blue in a new interview
Boston Blue fans may not want to get their hopes up for a Frank Reagan appearance, at least for now.
Tom Selleck offered a candid response when asked if he’d ever reprise his Blue Bloods character in CBS’ new spinoff during an interview with Hour Detroit on Tuesday, Nov. 11.

The actor, 80, previously played the role of the Reagan family patriarch for 14 seasons on the network, from 2010 to 2024. CBS first announced its decision to cancel Blue Bloods in November 2023, over a year before announcing Boston Blue — the Boston-centered spinoff starring Donnie Wahlberg — would arrive in 2025. The show officially debuted in October.
“I don’t know if I would do Boston Blue. That’s another show,” Selleck said.
He added, “I think it’s partly my lot in life to make sure Blue Bloods has its place in television history, but I don’t think it’s my lot in life to keep playing Frank Reagan.”
