Despite the frustration surrounding the cancellation, fans are already buzzing with excitement about the potential return of another iconic Selleck role: Jesse Stone. The Jesse Stone TV movies, based on the novels by Robert B. Parker, featured Selleck as a troubled small-town police chief with a penchant for solving dark and complex cases. The series of films developed a devoted following, with viewers praising Selleck’s portrayal of the brooding, introspective character.
With Blue Bloods wrapping up, many are hoping Selleck will have time to revisit Jesse Stone, a character that is as beloved as Frank Reagan. Fans have taken to social media, urging networks to revive the Jesse Stone franchise, pointing out that there are still many untold stories in the world of the stoic detective.
While there’s no official word on whether a Jesse Stone revival is in the works, Selleck has previously expressed interest in returning to the role if the right opportunity arises.
