Tom Selleck and Blue Bloods Cast Salaries Uncovered: Reasons Behind Cuts for Final Season

Tom Selleck’s time on CBS’s hit police drama Blue Bloods is approaching its conclusion, with the second half of the final season set to air in the coming months.

At 79 years old, Selleck has portrayed Commissioner Frank Reagan since the show premiered in 2010, contributing to its status as one of the network’s most reliable successes in terms of both ratings and critical acclaim. Although the show was renewed for a 14th season in 2023, production faced delays due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. In November, it was announced that Blue Bloods would conclude after its 14-season run.

Curious about the cast’s earnings? Let’s break down the salaries of the Blue Bloods stars and the reasons behind recent cuts for the final season.

How Much Does Tom Selleck Make on Blue Bloods?
According to celebritynetworth.com, Tom Selleck is the highest-paid member of the Blue Bloods cast, earning an impressive $200,000 per episode as both a lead actor and executive producer. Over his 275 episodes (not counting the six already aired in season 14 and the upcoming episodes), he has reportedly made around $5.5 million throughout the series.

What About the Rest of the Cast?
The other main cast members—Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, and Len Cariou—also earn substantial salaries. Donnie, who plays Detective Danny Reagan, began the series with a salary of $60,000 per episode, but this has increased to approximately $150,000 per episode in recent years, making him the second-highest paid cast member.
