The Truth About Blue Bloods’ Ending, According to Tom Selleck
As Blue Bloods comes to a close after more than a decade on the air, longtime fans have been left with questions about how and why the series ended the way it did. Now, Tom Selleck is setting the record straight.
Selleck, who portrayed NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan since the show’s debut, has emphasized that the ending was not the result of creative burnout or a loss of passion from the cast. Instead, he has made it clear that the decision came down to network and scheduling realities rather than a desire from the actors or producers to wrap things up. According to Selleck, the cast remained deeply committed to the show and its audience until the very end.
He has also pushed back against the idea that the finale was rushed or careless, noting that everyone involved worked hard to give Blue Bloods a respectful and emotionally grounded conclusion. For Selleck, honoring the characters, the Reagan family dynamic, and the show’s loyal fan base was always the top priority.
While saying goodbye wasn’t easy, Selleck has expressed gratitude for the show’s long run and its devoted viewers. If anything, he hopes fans remember Blue Bloods not for its ending, but for the years of stories, values, and family moments that made it a television staple.
