Tom Selleck isn’t ready to bid farewell to “Blue Bloods” yet.
In an interview with CBS News, Selleck said he still believes that “CBS will come to their senses” and reverse its decision to end the police procedural with Season 14.
“We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast. We’re winning the night,” Selleck said. “All the cast wants to come back. And I can tell you this: we aren’t sliding off down a cliff. We’re doing good shows, and still holding our place. So, I don’t know. You tell me!”
Selleck has played Commissioner Frank Reag an in “Blue Bloods” since the series premiere in 2010. Last November, CBS announced that the show would end in the fall of this year with a two-part season.
“For the past 13 years it has been an honor and a privilege to work on a show that not only celebrates the men and women who protect and serve in New York City, but also displayed the importance of family,” Selleck said in a statement at the time. “Working alongside these incredible actors, writers, producers, directors and crew has been a dream come true and I’m grateful to have been a part of this extraordinary group for over 275 episodes. Thank you to CBS Studios and CBS Network for their steadfast support and we offer heartfelt gratitude to the fans who gathered with us for dinner every Friday night.”
The Season 14 mid-season finale of “Blue Bloods” will air May 17 on CBS and Paramount+. The second half of the season, consisting of eight episodes, will debut in fall 2024.
