Tom Selleck Returns to TV With 1st Acting Role Since Shocking ‘Blue Bloods’ Cancellation

The untitled series follows Elizabeth Banks’ character after a messy divorce and adds Tom Selleck to an ensemble cast that includes Ted Danson and Simu Liu.

  • On Monday, Tom Selleck joined an untitled Apple TV comedy starring Elizabeth Banks and Ted Danson as a guest star, marking his first acting role since Blue Bloods ended in 2024.
  • Selleck's casting follows his 15-season run as New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan on CBS drama Blue Bloods, which concluded in 2024 despite cast and producers agreeing to a 25 percent pay cut.
  • The role reunites Selleck and Danson, who previously appeared together in Three Men and a Baby. Produced for Apple by 20th Television, the series is showrun and executive produced by Liz Heldens and Matt Ward.
  • In addition to the leads, the ensemble cast features Rob Delaney, Katey Sagal, Jared Goldstein, and Spencer Moss. The story follows Banks' character Heidi navigating a messy divorce while coordinating her father's retirement community sexcapades.
  • Reflecting on his past series, Selleck called Blue Bloods a "labor of love" on a July episode of Danson's podcast, Where Everybody Knows Your Name. Details regarding his specific character in the upcoming Apple comedy remain under wraps.
