Although Blue Bloods is coming to an end in a few months, leading man Tom Selleck already has plans for a new movie. And it’s not just any project, but one involving the return of his famous Jesse Stone character, which debuted on TV almost two decades ago. All the Jesse Stone made-for-TV films feature Selleck in the title role, with the first, Jesse Stone: Stone Cold, debuting in 2005, half a decade before Selleck joined Blue Bloods.
In an interview with TV Insider about the end of Blue Bloods and his plans moving forward, Selleck spoke of his interest in working on another Jesse Stone project. After revealing that presently he “might have to write [a script for another movie],” the actor elaborated, “It wouldn’t be a final one because everybody loves it. Jesse is a great character, and it would be fascinating to find out where he is quite a few years later.” Nevertheless, the iconic performer admitted that he needs to regroup as Blue Blood wraps, adding, “I don’t know what’s next, but assuming the phone doesn’t stop ringing. I’m going to keep working.”
Blue Bloods was renewed for a fourteenth season in July 2023, but it wasn’t until November of the same year that the installment was announced as the last. The first ten episodes of the season premiered earlier this year, while the rest, featuring eight episodes, will debut on October 18, 2024, with the series finale airing in December.
