Viewers themselves might have been disappointed by Blue Bloods' abrupt cancellation, but perhaps no one was more frustrated by the show's sudden ending than series star Tom Selleck.
During a recent appearance on Ted Danson’s podcast, Where Everybody Knows Your Name, the 81-year-old Selleck detailed the anxiety-inducing circumstances surrounding Blue Bloods' cancellation back in late 2024.
At the time of its ending, the series had ran for an impressive 14 years on CBS, and, in a rare feat for a mainstream TV series, managed to retain most of its original cast up to its final season in 2024.
Despite how committed the series' stars were to the show, Selleck said it all came to naught when CBS decided to pull the plug on Blue Bloods following its 14th season.
“The real truth to that is in the last year of [Blue Bloods], at our last family dinner, everybody wanted to come back. We’d already taken a 25 percent cut in salary,” Selleck said on the podcast. “We’d already done all sorts of things to keep the show going.”
“It was very frustrating because… out of the top 100 shows on broadcast television, Blue Bloods was number six in our fifteenth year,” Selleck continued to explain. “Nobody wanted to leave. Everybody was gonna stay on. That’s hard to get. It may be some kind of record to have the same cast intact for that length of time. Usually if it wasn’t a family, it would be different, but you know, you couldn’t very well replace Jamie or Danny or anybody with another actor.”
Reflecting on his own time working on the show, Selleck admitted that it was all too rare seeing a TV show where the entire cast got along so well, something that perhaps made Blue Bloods' cancellation all the more difficult to deal with.
“Maybe people don’t realize, but a lot of shows become miserable to work on,” Selleck said. “You get a lot of egos and ‘I’m not coming out of my dressing room until he’s coming out’... and it’s miserable. Blue Bloods was never that.”
