<p id=”par-3_37″><em>Blue Bloods </em>is not the first time Selleck, 79, has taken on <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/blue-bloods-fans-debate-best-succeed-frank-reagan-commissioner.html/”>the role of top cop</a>. Starting in 2005, he played small-town police chief Jesse Stone in a series of movies for CBS and Hallmark Channel. </p>
<p id=”par-4_53″>Nine <em>Jesse Stone </em>movies aired between 2005 and 2015. In addition to starring as the title character, Selleck co-wrote several of the scripts. (The movies are based on a series of detective novels by Robert B. Parker.) Now, he says, he’s considering picking up his pen again for another movie in the series. </p>
<p id=”par-5_54″>“It looks like now I might have to write [a script for another movie],” Selleck said in a recent interview with <a href=”https://www.tvinsider.com/1154539/blue-bloods-series-finale-tom-selleck-interview-exclusive/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TV Insider</a>. “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.” </p>
<p id=”par-6_10″>But the Emmy nominee isn’t rushing into his next project. </p>
<p id=”par-7_24″>“But I need to regroup; I don’t know what’s next, but assuming the phone doesn’t stop ringing, I’m going to keep working,” he added. </p>

‘Blue Bloods’ Is Ending, But Donnie Wahlberg Isn’t Done With TV </a>

<p id=”par-8_28″>In previous interviews, Selleck has hinted that he intends to keep working for financial reasons. The actor owns a sprawling <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/tom-selleck-might-sell-63-acre-ranch-blue-bloods-ends.html/”>63-acre ranch in Ventura County</a>, outside of LA. </p>
<p id=”par-9_23″>“You know, hopefully, I keep working enough to hold onto the place,” he said in a May 2024 interview with <a href=”https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tom-selleck-on-the-future-of-blue-bloods/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><em>CBS Sunday Morning</em></a><em>.</em> </p>
<p id=”par-10_16″>When the reporter expressed shock that Selleck might have money concerns, he confirmed it was true. </p>
<p id=”par-11_24″>“That’s always an issue,” he replied. “If I stopped working, yeah. Am I set for life? Yeah, but maybe not on a 63-acre ranch!”</p>
<p id=”par-12_8″>But mostly, he just wants to keep busy. </p>
<p id=”par-13_37″>“Hopefully, work,” he said when asked what he saw in his future. “As an actor, you never lose — I don’t lose, anyway — that sense that every time I finish a job, it’s my last job.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_39″>As he looks forward to what’s next, Selleck is also grappling with the end of <em>Blue Bloods. </em>He told TV Insider he was “frustrated” by the network’s decision to cancel the show, which he said CBS took for granted. </p>
<p id=”par-15_56″>“It’s going to take a long time to sort all of this out,” he said. “I remember after the weekend [of the final episode’s shoot], I said, ‘I’ve got to get to bed early tonight because I have to do my dialogue for Monday.’ Well, there was no Monday. It’s just going to take a while.”</p>
<p id=”par-16_20″><em>Blue Bloods </em>Season 14<em> </em>returns Oct. 18 on CBS. The <em>Jesse Stone </em>movies are available to stream on Prime Video. </p>
