Donnie Wahlberg<\/strong> made a rare comment about what his onscreen dad Tom Selleck<\/strong> thought about his Blue Bloods<\/em> spinoff Boston Blue<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201c[With] Tom, when the time is right, I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll find something to do together [on the show],\u201d Wahlberg exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> at CBS Fest on Wednesday, April 15. \u201cTom supported me doing this.\u201d<\/p>\n Wahlberg hinted that Selleck \u201cmay want to play\u201d Frank again \u2014 or he \u201cmay not.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut it will really depend on the timing, the situation and the script most of all. But we\u2019ve had other members of the cast of Blue Bloods on. It\u2019s been incredible,\u201d he noted \u201cWe had Grandpa Reagan. We have a few surprises before the season ends of other Reagans. It\u2019s so great.\u201d<\/p>\n He concluded: \u201cOf course, it would be lovely to have Tom. It would be wonderful. But when the time is right. Until then, onward.\u201d<\/p>\n The former Blue Bloods star played Reagan family patriarch and NYC police commissioner Frank for 14 seasons of the CBS series, which premiered in 2010. Frank\u2019s father, Henry Reagan (Len Cariou<\/strong>), and children \u2014 daughter Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan<\/strong>) and sons Danny (Wahlberg) and Jamie Reagan (Will Estes<\/strong>) \u2014 were also central to the show.<\/p>\n Speculation arose in 2023 that Blue Bloods<\/em> was coming to an end. At the time, the police procedural was renewed, but the cast and producers agreed to take a 25 percent pay cut. Selleck later addressed the official cancellation news and questioned the decision.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m kind of frustrated,\u201d he told TV Insider in October 2024. \u201cDuring those last eight shows, I haven\u2019t wanted to talk about an ending for Blue Bloods but about it still being wildly successful.\u201d<\/p>\n Selleck argued that Blue Bloods<\/em> should have remained on the air, saying, \u201cI\u2019m not going to turn into a bitter old guy saying, \u2018Get off my lawn.\u2019 I don\u2019t believe in holding grudges, but if you were to say to the television network, \u2018Here\u2019s a show you can program in the worst time slot you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the next 15 years,\u2019 it would be almost impossible to believe.\u201d<\/p>\n At the time, Selleck said his frustration came from the show always being \u201ctaken for granted because it performed from the get-go.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo, how do I feel?\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s going to take a long time to sort all of this out. I remember after the weekend [of the final episode\u2019s shoot], I said, \u2018I\u2019ve got to get to bed early tonight because I have to do my dialogue for Monday.\u2019 Well, there was no Monday. It\u2019s just going to take a while.\u201d<\/p>\n Ahead of the series finale, which aired one month later, Selleck opened up about what life after Blue Bloods<\/em> might bring. \u201cI don\u2019t know where my next job will take me. A good Western is always on my list. I miss that. I want to sit on a horse again,\u201d he told Parade in December 2024. \u201cI would love to do another comedy. The right kind of comedy. Friends made people laugh and cry at times. That\u2019s the kind of comedy I enjoy doing.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\")
