The Blue Bloods cast are booked and busy lining up new projects after the hit CBS series came to a surprising end.
Blue Bloods, which premiered in 2010, followed the lives of the Reagan family, many of whom worked for the NYPD under the leadership of NYC police commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck). Frank’s father, Henry Reagan (Len Cariou), have been central to the show alongside Frank’s children: daughter Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan) and sons Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Jamie Reagan (Will Estes).
After news broke about Blue Bloods coming to an end, Selleck explained why he thought the show should have remained on the air.
“I’m kind of frustrated,” he told TV Insider in October 2024. “During those last eight shows, I haven’t wanted to talk about an ending for Blue Bloods but about it still being wildly successful.”

He continued: “I’m not going to turn into a bitter old guy saying, ‘Get off my lawn.’ I don’t believe in holding grudges, but if you were to say to the television network, ‘Here’s a show you can program in the worst time slot you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the next 15 years,’ it would be almost impossible to believe.”
Selleck admitted that his “frustration” came from the show always being “taken for granted because it performed from the get-go.”
“So, how do I feel?” he added. “It’s going to take a long time to sort all of this out. I remember after the weekend [of the final episode’s shoot], I said, ‘I’ve got to get to bed early tonight because I have to do my dialogue for Monday.’ Well, there was no Monday. It’s just going to take a while.”
Two months after Blue Bloods’ series finale in December 2024, CBS announced that the Boston Blue spinoff was ordered straight to series and would expand the police procedural as Donnie Wahlberg‘s character “takes on a position” with the Boston P.D.
