Tom Selleck is not ready to ride off into the sunset just yet. The Hollywood icon, who recently turned 80, is itching to make his grand return after CBS pulled the plug on Blue Bloods while approving a Donnie Wahlberg-led spinoff, Boston Blue. Insiders reveal the veteran actor is livid about being left out and is determined to fight for a spot back in front of the camera.

Selleck Feels Blindsided by CBS’ Bold Move

For 14 seasons, Selleck captivated audiences as New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. However, despite his longstanding contribution, he was noticeably absent from the network’s plans for the future. CBS instead gave Wahlberg, his former co-star, the lead in Boston Blue, a spinoff that continues the Blue Bloods legacy without the Reagan patriarch.

“Tom doesn’t blame Donnie,” an insider shares. “They’ve been like family for years. But he does feel betrayed by the network for shutting him out.”

The news reportedly hit Selleck hard, as he had not anticipated being phased out so soon. Rather than settling into retirement on his 63-acre California ranch, he is aggressively pursuing new projects to prove Hollywood still has a place for him.

Determined to Keep Acting Despite Industry Pushback

Sources say Selleck has instructed his agents to find him roles in television, film, and even commercials—anything that will keep his face on-screen. One of his biggest aspirations is to revive his Jesse Stone franchise, a series of TV movies about a small-town police chief.
