Tom Selleck is not ready to say goodbye to Blue Bloods just yet. In a recent interview with CBS News, Selleck expressed his hope that CBS would reverse its decision to cancel the hit series after 14 seasons. Despite being the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast and consistently winning its time slot, CBS announced that Blue Bloods would be ending its run this fall.
During a press conference announcing their fall schedule, CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach confirmed that Blue Bloods would indeed be coming to an end. While expressing gratitude to the cast and crew for their hard work, Reisenbach emphasized the importance of giving the show a proper sendoff. Despite the cast’s plea to reconsider, CBS remained firm in their decision to conclude the series in December.
Blue Bloods follows the Reagan family, a multigenerational family of law enforcement officers in New York City. Tom Selleck stars as Commissioner Frank Reagan, alongside a talented cast including Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, and Len Cariou. The show has garnered a loyal fanbase over the years, with viewers tuning in each week to see the Reagan family tackle crime and family drama in the Big Apple.
Despite CBS’s announcement, Tom Selleck remains hopeful that the network will reconsider its decision. With the entire cast eager to return for more seasons, Selleck believes that there is still more story to tell. He points to the show’s consistent ratings and high viewership as evidence that Blue Bloods still has a lot to offer audiences. Whether CBS will listen to Selleck’s plea and grant Blue Bloods a reprieve remains to be seen.
Tom Selleck’s impassioned plea to save Blue Bloods from cancellation highlights the importance of the show to its fans and cast. As the fight to keep the series alive continues, viewers can only hope that CBS will recognize the value of Blue Bloods and allow it to continue its successful run for seasons to come.
