Tom Selleck Shares Mixed Feelings About ‘Blue Bloods’ Ending Amid Spinoff’s Success

Tom Selleck has spoken candidly about his mixed emotions following the end of Blue Bloods, acknowledging that while he understands the natural evolution of a long-running franchise, the conclusion of the original series was not easy for him personally.

After more than a decade portraying NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan, Selleck developed a deep connection to both the character and the show’s loyal audience. He has shared that saying goodbye carried an emotional weight, especially given how strongly Blue Bloods resonated with viewers and remained consistently popular throughout its run.

Those feelings have been further complicated by the success of the show’s spinoff, which continues to expand the Blue Bloods universe. While Selleck has expressed support for the cast and creative team involved, he has also admitted that watching the franchise move forward without the original series can be bittersweet.

Despite the mixed emotions, Selleck has emphasized gratitude—for the long run of the show, the relationships built over the years, and the fans who supported Blue Bloods from beginning to end. As the spinoff finds its footing, he appears focused on appreciating the legacy of the series rather than dwelling solely on its ending.
