My Biggest Tom Selleck Hope After Blue Bloods’ Ending Looks Like Coming True

It looks like my biggest hope for Tom Selleck after Blue Bloods ends will become a reality. Selleck has starred in CBS’ top-rated cop and family drama for fourteen years. However, the series was canceled despite its high ratings. Now, Blue Bloods only has a few episodes left before it goes off the air permanently. Thus, Selleck and other cast members are open to new projects after playing the same characters for over a decade. I have followed Selleck’s career since before beginning my own, and I’m confident that he will eventually return on the screen.

Selleck is an accomplished and talented actor who has been a household name since the 1980s, when his role in Magnum, PI shot him to stardom. Despite that, I can’t imagine anyone else playing Blue Bloods’ Frank Reagan. Additionally, Selleck is a writer and producer who helped co-write all the scripts for the Jesse Stone movie franchise. Jesse Stone is particularly interesting because Selleck’s character is so different from the Blue Bloods Reagan family patriarch he plays on that show.

Tom Selleck May Make More Jesse Stone Movies After Blue Bloods Ending

When Selleck first began starring in Blue Bloods, he wanted to continue doing the Jesse Stone films. However, this plan did not pan out, as Selleck has not made another one after 2015’s Jesse Stone: Lost In Paradise. I had given up hope of getting another such movie after Blue Bloods became popular, as it didn’t seem like the police procedural would end for many years. Now that Selleck no longer has another commitment, however, he could write and produce another Jesse Stone movie and is open to doing so (via TV Insider).

I’m especially excited that Selleck says the next Jesse Stone movie “wouldn’t be the final one.” It would be bittersweet news if Selleck only wanted to do one more film to wrap the series up, especially if the news came so soon after Blue Bloods ended. However, knowing there might be more Jesse Stone movies for years to come gives me something tangible to look forward to that offsets the loss of one of my favorite television shows.

Another Jesse Stone Movie Is Something I’ve Wanted For Years

Lost In Paradise was not intended to be the final movie in the Jesse Stone series, and that was obvious after watching it. The movie does not end on a note that feels like a satisfying ending; instead, Jesse and his dog are sitting together, making it seem like Jesse’s next mystery will fall into his lap at any second. Even though it has been almost ten years, I think of that ending often and wonder what Jesse’s next movie will be about. For this reason, the idea that Selleck might resume the series after Blue Bloods ends is exciting news.

It’s admirable that Selleck had the integrity to realize he couldn’t do the next Jesse Stone film justice while his attention was divided.
