Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg ‘Can’t Figure Out’ Why ‘Blue Bloods’ Is Ending as They Prepare to Say One Last Goodbye
After over a decade of captivating audiences, Blue Bloods is preparing to bid farewell. The hit CBS police procedural drama has become a staple of American television, and for its stars Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg, the end of the series is not only a professional milestone but also a deeply personal moment. Both actors have expressed their confusion and sadness over the show’s cancellation, leaving fans and the cast alike wondering why this beloved series has to come to a close.
Tom Selleck, who has played New York Police Commissioner Frank Reagan since the show’s debut in 2010, admitted that the decision to end Blue Bloods left him feeling perplexed. In a recent interview, he opened up about his inability to understand why the show is ending, given its continued popularity and success. “It’s hard to wrap your head around,” Selleck said. “We’ve been doing this for so long, and every season feels fresh. We still have so much more to tell.” Despite the uncertainty surrounding the series’ end, Selleck expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to bring Frank Reagan to life and to be part of a show that has resonated so strongly with viewers.
Donnie Wahlberg, who plays Frank’s son Danny Reagan, echoed Selleck’s feelings, sharing his own confusion over the series coming to an end. “We can’t figure out why this is happening,” Wahlberg said. “It doesn’t make sense, but sometimes these things are beyond our control.” For Wahlberg, Blue Bloods has been more than just a career; it’s been a family. “We’ve grown close over the years,” he explained, referring to the strong bonds that have formed between the cast members. “It’s not just about the job, it’s the people you’re with every day. That’s what makes it so special.”
The news of Blue Bloods ending has been particularly emotional for both actors, as the show has been a major part of their lives for over a decade. For Selleck, Blue Bloods has been his longest-running role in his career, and the cast and crew have become a second family. “We’ve been through so much together, and to see it all end is really tough,” he said. “But that’s the nature of this business. Shows come to an end, but the relationships last forever.”
Despite their personal feelings about the end of the show, both Selleck and Wahlberg are grateful for the lasting impact Blue Bloods has had on its viewers. The series has consistently tackled tough issues surrounding law enforcement, family, and the complexities of life, which has earned it a dedicated fanbase. “I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished with this show,” said Wahlberg. “It’s touched so many people, and we’ve created something that will last beyond the final episode.”
As they prepare to say goodbye to their iconic roles, both Selleck and Wahlberg are reflecting on the lasting legacy of Blue Bloods. While it’s still difficult to understand why the show is ending, both actors are thankful for the opportunity to have been a part of something so meaningful. “It’s hard to say goodbye, but we will cherish the memories forever,” said Selleck. “And so will the fans.”
