Tom Selleck’s Hope For ‘Blue Bloods’ Beyond Season 14: An Exclusive Interview

Despite CBS’s announcement that “Blue Bloods” will conclude after its 14th season, Tom Selleck, the show’s star and executive producer, remains steadfast in his belief that the series can continue beyond this final chapter.

Selleck’s Commitment to the Show

Selleck, who portrays police commissioner Frank Reagan, the patriarch of the procedural drama, expresses his reluctance to accept the end of “Blue Bloods” during an interview at his 65-acre ranch near Los Angeles. He is determined to keep producing episodes that have made the show a Friday-night staple for its dedicated older fan base.

A Friday-Night Staple

Since its premiere in 2010, “Blue Bloods” has become a ratings magnet, surprising even Selleck himself. The show’s success is attributed to producer Leonard Goldberg’s formula of intertwining family storylines, culminating in the Sunday Reagan family meal. Selleck credits this unique approach for the show’s longevity.

Reflecting on Past Success and Regrets

Selleck compares the current situation with “Blue Bloods” to his experience with “Magnum, P.I.,” which ended in 1988 after an eight-year run. Despite the success, Selleck occasionally regrets ending “Magnum,” but he acknowledges it was the right decision. He declined to be part of the 2018 reboot, expressing his disapproval of the show.

What Lies Ahead for ‘Blue Bloods’ Season 14

As Season 14 unfolds, executive producer Kevin Wade reveals that the writers haven’t mapped out the show’s conclusion. Selleck promises that the first two episodes are “phenomenal,” and Episode 3 will feature an unsentimental tribute to Treat Williams, who played Frank’s former partner.

Selleck’s Upcoming Memoir and Uncertain Future

As Selleck’s memoir, titled “You Never Know,” is set to release on May 7, he remains optimistic about the future of “Blue Bloods.” Despite CBS’s plans for an eight-episode wind-down, Selleck laughs it off, saying, “We’ll see,” indicating a level of uncertainty about the show’s ultimate fate.
