Donnie Wahlberg just added serious fuel to the fire for Blue Bloods fans hungry for more Frank Reagan. While promoting the upcoming spinoff Boston Blue, Wahlberg teased that Tom Selleck might not be entirely done with the Reagan family saga. Though Selleck’s character seemingly stepped away at the end of the original series, Wahlberg hinted that a surprise return could be in the cards, and not just in flashbacks.
In a recent interview, Wahlberg played coy when asked directly about Selleck’s involvement, saying only, “You never know who might show up in Boston.” That was enough to send fans into speculation mode, especially since Wahlberg has been a champion of keeping the original cast connected to the new series. He emphasized the spinoff will honor the spirit of Blue Bloods, and that means leaving the door wide open for Frank Reagan.
The idea of Selleck appearing — even briefly — in Boston Blue adds a layer of excitement to an already highly anticipated launch. Whether he pops in as a retired commissioner offering wisdom or simply makes a brief family appearance, his presence would instantly elevate the emotional stakes. Wahlberg made it clear that this new chapter doesn’t forget where it came from.
With the spinoff focusing on new faces and evolving family dynamics, fans are hoping to see a seamless blend of old and new. And with Wahlberg teasing just enough to keep us guessing, a Tom Selleck cameo might just be the nostalgic jolt the spinoff needs to win over longtime viewers.
