“Tom Selleck Takes Center Stage in ‘Blue Bloods’ Final Season Sneak Peek”
Blue Bloods will kick off its final season on February 16, marking an emotional chapter for the beloved cop drama. In an exclusive first look from TV Insider, Tom Selleck portrays Frank Reagan, standing alone with a look of concern against a faded New York City skyline.
This key art hints at the inner conflict Frank will face as he navigates a challenging decision regarding Mayor Chase’s (Dylan Walsh) new policy on migrants’ rights to shelter in the city. Will Frank choose to align with the mayor, or will he forge his own path? His expression might also reflect his worry for his son, Sgt. Jamie Reagan (Will Estes), who is embroiled in a perilous undercover operation involving human trafficking.
Selleck shared that Frank is acutely aware of the balancing act between his duties as a police commissioner and his responsibilities as a father. “He’s meddling where he shouldn’t,” Selleck noted. “Frank constantly grapples with his obligations as a commissioner versus his instincts as a parent.” He also emphasized his passion for the role, stating, “I’m not counting the days to move on; I love the work.”
Despite hints of weariness, Selleck confirmed that Frank isn’t ready to hang up his badge. He explained, “Frank picks fights because he hopes someone will take this burden off his shoulders, but he has an intense sense of responsibility and feels trapped by it.”
Fans have always appreciated Frank’s unwavering commitment to both his work and family, and it’s clear that the series aims to deliver a conclusion that honors that legacy.
The final season of Blue Bloods will be divided into two parts, with the first part debuting on February 16 and the second set to air in Fall 2024.
