Tom Selleck Is ‘Open’ to Blue Bloods Spinoff, Hints at Next Project
After over a decade portraying the stalwart NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan on Blue Bloods, Tom Selleck is hinting that he may not be ready to fully close the chapter on the Reagan family just yet. In a recent interview, the actor shared his thoughts on the possibility of a Blue Bloods spinoff and teased what might be next for his storied career.
Why a Spinoff Could Work
Selleck noted that the Blue Bloods universe is rich with potential for spin-offs, thanks to its ensemble cast and multi-generational family dynamics. “The Reagans have so much story left to tell,” Selleck said. “There’s room to explore the other characters more deeply or even look at a new generation.”
Fans have long speculated about spin-offs focusing on different Reagan family members or characters like Danny, Erin, or Jamie stepping into leadership roles. A spinoff could delve into untold stories while maintaining the same balance of action and family drama that made the original show so beloved.
What a Spinoff Might Look Like
While Selleck didn’t confirm any concrete plans, he shared some ideas that have been floated:
- Danny’s Next Chapter: A show centered around Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg), focusing on his high-risk cases and life as a single father.
- Erin’s DA Office: Erin Reagan’s journey as District Attorney could be the focus, bringing courtroom drama to the forefront.
- Young Reagans: A prequel series chronicling a younger Frank Reagan’s rise through the NYPD ranks, providing insight into the experiences that shaped him.

Selleck also hinted at revisiting his iconic Magnum P.I. roots, possibly in a limited series or as a producer. “That show was groundbreaking, and I think there’s still more to explore with Thomas Magnum.”
