It’s no secret that Tom Selleck is annoyed about Blue Bloods ending up on 2024’s listing of canceled or ending reveals. Now, the collection finale is about to air, and he’s nonetheless making it clear that that ought to not have occurred. The truth is, he mentioned he nonetheless “can’t work out” why CBS pulled the plug on the procedural, and he introduced an thought about how the drama might have continued.
The ultimate episode of Blue Bloods will air on December 13 on CBS at 10 p.m. ET on the 2024 TV schedule. That may mark the ultimate Reagan household dinner, and it’s sure to be extremely emotional. Nonetheless, although they’ve been achieved filming for months, Tom Selleck remains to be speaking about why this shouldn’t mark the tip of this collection, as he instructed Selection:
I can’t work out why they didn’t begin streaming it, do 10 episodes a yr. However I’m not the boss. All people wished to come back again. And I believe with this solid, it might have been a present for the viewers. I don’t make these selections. I’m ready to have a good time and commemorate this present, however I’m nonetheless getting used to it.
This response got here after the Frank Reagan actor was requested a query about rumors surrounding the potential for a Blue Bloods spinoff. Clearly, he’s not eager about a brand new collection primarily based on this world, it might seem that he’s nonetheless attempting to determine a approach for the OG procedural to proceed.
His proposal to maneuver Blue Bloods over to a streamer and make shorter seasons is sensible too. Loads of collection have moved from community to streaming lately – lots of which had been on the air for a very long time – so it’s not like that is an outlandish thought. The truth is, I’m sort of stunned it isn’t what’s taking place.
We noticed Prison Minds get revived on Paramount+ underneath the title Prison Minds: Evolutions. Regulation and Order: Organized Crime made the bounce from NBC to Peacock with nice success. Plus, the NCIS Universe is increasing on each CBS and Paramount+. So, whereas not widespread, it’s additionally not unparalleled for reveals to leap platforms to allow them to proceed.
Additionally, as somebody who would not have reside TV, I watch all my CBS reveals with a Paramount+ subscription anyway, and I do know many others do too. So, it in all probability wouldn’t even be that huge of a shift.
I guess the Blue Bloods solid might get behind this plan as effectively. Because the Magnum P.I. star mentioned, attending to do extra of this procedural would have been a “present” for the solid and the viewers. Within the months main as much as the drama’s collection finale, many actors have voiced their opinions on the drama concluding too, most of that are to the tune of they don’t need it to finish. For instance, Abigail Baker referred to as the cancellation a “colossal error.”
General, it’s clear as day that Selleck and his co-stars don’t need Blue Bloods to finish, and they might have been keen to modify issues up and even transfer the present if it meant they’d have a spot on the 2025 TV schedule. Nonetheless, sadly, none of that occurred, and now the collection will say its closing goodbye this week. However, we are able to all the time maintain out hope that perhaps sometime a revival will occur.
For now, although, you’ll be able to tune in to say goodbye to the Reagan’s at 10 p.m. ET on CBS this Friday.
