Blue Bloods' star Tom Selleck is contemplating his next moves as the curtain falls on the beloved CBS police drama series, sparking speculation among fans about his future endeavours.
Having starred as the family head honcho Frank Reagan across all 14 seasons, the former Magnum PI lead has become a household name over the show's successful decade-plus run.
Viewers were gutted to hear that Blue Bloods' upcoming season set to drop later this month will mark its finale.
Yet, Tom is not hanging up his TV hat just yet, despite wrapping up the final eight episodes of Blue Bloods earlier this year.
He's dropped hints about making a comeback in another fan-favourite role and no, it's not as Thomas Magnum, reports .
Before we first saw him in Blue Bloods back in 2010, Tom captured audiences in the Jesse Stone: Stone Cold TV film, playing the eponymous small-town police chief.
In the nine TV films adapted from Robert B Parker's gripping novels, he brought to life the New England top cop untangling mysteries in the quaint town of Paradise, Massachusetts.
Tom didn't just act; he put pen to paper for several instalments and even snagged an Emmy nomination for his work in the 2007 flick Jesse Stone: Sea Change, a testament to his connection to the character.
He's now mulling over a return to the Jesse Stone franchise, albeit with the possibility of having to don the writer's cap again this time, revealing to TV Insider: "It looks like now I might have to write [the script]."
Still, he hinted at more tales to tell, saying: "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."
For now, Tom's schedule appears clear, but the 79-year-old legend has vowed not to hit the brakes anytime soon.
"I need to regroup [after Blue Bloods]," he confessed. "I don't know what's next, but assuming the phone doesn't stop ringing I'm going to keep working."
With his iconic 14-year run on Blue Bloods, Tom remains a household name, and fans are surely eager to see what he does next after the Reagans' last Friday night meal.
The second part of season 14 is set to premiere in just over a week, with the series finale anticipated to air before the end of 2024.
Blue Bloods returns Friday, October 18 on CBS.
