As Tom Selleck gears up to celebrate his 80th birthday, it's clear that the legendary TV star has no intention of slowing down.

Tom Selleck's Farewell to Blue Bloods: A Heartfelt Goodbye
It’s been a bittersweet moment for Tom Selleck as Blue Bloods came to an end on December 13, 2024. The series finale left fans emotional, with Tom’s character, Frank Reagan, discovering he would soon be a grandpa again. This revelation came after Jamie Reagan and Eddie Janko-Reagan announced their exciting news. But for Tom, the end of Blue Bloods wasn’t just about saying goodbye to a character—it was about leaving behind a family he had grown close to over the years.
An insider exclusively revealed to Closer just how much Tom cherishes the connections he made on set. “He already misses the Blue Bloods cast and crew,” the source said. “They were more than coworkers—they were a second family to him.

Reflecting on a Decade-Long Legacy
Tom, who recently turned 79, shared his feelings about the show's conclusion in a candid interview with Entertainment Weekly. “The hardest thing right now is realizing that this time of year, I’d usually be filming episodes of Blue Bloods, and I miss that,” he admitted. “It’s like saying goodbye to a family you’ve grown to love. You always think you’ll keep in touch, but life gets busy. That’s how it is in the world of movies and TV too. You form these incredible bonds, and then it’s over.”
For Tom, the end of Blue Bloods isn’t just about closing a chapter—it’s about processing the loss of something deeply personal. “It’s not easy to walk away from a 15-year relationship with most of those people,” he reflected. “It’s a significant adjustment, and it takes time to let go.”
What’s Next for Tom Selleck?
While fans may be wondering what’s next for the iconic actor, Tom himself is already looking ahead. An insider close to the star told Closer that Tom hopes CBS will present him with a new project to dive into. “The good news is that CBS is very receptive to the idea,” the source said. “They know Tom has a loyal fan base that has followed him since his Magnum P.I. days. The network specializes in programming tailored to that demographic.”
It’s no secret that Blue Bloods was an expensive show to produce, with a large cast and production team. Transitioning to a smaller ensemble project could be a smart move for both Tom and the network. “Tom wants to keep making TV shows well into his 80s,” the source added. “Retirement isn’t in his vocabulary, and he’s eager to find his next big opportunity.”
As for the possibility of a Blue Bloods spinoff, Tom is open to the idea. Several cast members have expressed interest in continuing the franchise, and fans are hopeful for an exciting continuation of the series. Whether it’s a spinoff or a fresh start, one thing is certain: Tom Selleck isn’t done captivating audiences just yet.
