“Tom Selleck’s ‘Blue Bloods’ Cancellation Comments Sparking CBS Execs’ Anger, Report Says”
Rumors about the cancellation of Blue Bloods continue to swirl, with CBS executives reportedly angered by Tom Selleck’s recent comments. The actor, who has owned a 63-acre ranch in Ventura County since 1988, is said to be worried about losing it following the show’s cancellation, particularly if he stops working. Sources indicate that Selleck, at 79 years old, has expressed fears that the cancellation could leave him in financial trouble. Despite his concerns, CBS executives are reportedly unimpressed, armed with knowledge of his significant earnings from the show. Selleck reportedly earned $200,000 per episode, totaling an astonishing $56 million over the course of the series, not including residuals from reruns.
The disparity between Selleck’s salary and that of the crew has also stirred dissatisfaction. Many staff members, who reportedly earned less than $100,000 annually, face financial uncertainty as the show concludes. A source described Selleck’s complaints as insensitive, noting the stark contrast between his financial situation and that of the hardworking crew members who are now facing unemployment.
Selleck has expressed his desire for the show to continue and has made it clear he’s not ready to say goodbye. CBS is reportedly having second thoughts about the cancellation decision, and if the reports about Selleck’s behavior are accurate, those regrets might be even stronger. With the final episodes of Blue Bloods set to premiere on Friday, October 18, at 10 p.m. ET, fans are left wondering if a Blue Bloods movie or spin-off might be in the future. For now, viewers can only anticipate the series’ conclusion and hope that any behind-the-scenes tensions don’t overshadow the end of the Reagans’ story.
