Tom Selleck’s Inevitable Return as Frank Reagan Brings Blue Bloods Fans New Hope

A few new developments are bringing Tom Selleck’s long-awaited return as Frank Reagan closer to reality. When Blue Bloods debuted in 2011, it quickly set itself apart from typical cop dramas by centering on a multigenerational family of public servants. Its success was driven in large part by its strong ensemble cast, led by Selleck as the iconic Reagan patriarch.

Now, nearly a year after the show ended in 2024, its legacy continues through Boston Blue, the franchise’s first spinoff.

The series follows Donnie Wahlberg’s Danny Reagan, who relocates to Boston after Sean’s near-death experience. So far, Erin is the only Reagan family member to appear on-screen, but more cameos are expected.

Tom Selleck Signs With New Representation

A surprising update has fueled speculation about Selleck’s next move: he has signed with United Talent Agency (UTA). He was previously represented by CAA, and his partnerships with Ziffren Brittenham LLP, N2N Entertainment, and Wolf-Kasteler Public Relations will continue. While switching agencies isn’t unusual, this change comes during Selleck’s acting hiatus-he hasn’t appeared on screen since Blue Bloods wrapped.

The move strongly suggests Selleck is preparing to return to the industry, with fans hoping that comeback includes revisiting his role as Frank Reagan.

Boston Blue’s Early Renewal Increases Cameo Chances

Soon after news broke about Selleck’s new representation, CBS announced that Boston Blue has been renewed for a second season-well before its first season even finished airing. The early pickup reflects both the show’s strong reception and confidence in its future.

It also gives the creative team more time-and narrative opportunities-to bring Frank Reagan into the spinoff. Boston Blue has already referenced him several times, making an on-screen appearance from Selleck feel like the natural next step. And for longtime fans, seeing Frank back in action would be especially meaningful.
