After more than a decade of playing New York’s steadfast Police Commissioner Frank Reagan on Blue Bloods, Tom Selleck is opening up about the show’s final season—and the bittersweet feelings that come with it. In a recent interview, Selleck shared how deeply connected he and the cast have become over the years, making it incredibly hard to say goodbye to a series that has been such a big part of their lives.

“It’s more than just a job,” Selleck said. “We’ve built a family here. Sitting around that dinner table every week, sharing those moments—that’s been the heart of the show, and it’s what we’ll miss the most.” For Selleck and his fellow cast members, the final season is not just the end of a TV show but the closing chapter of a journey filled with strong friendships, memorable stories, and a loyal fanbase that has stuck with them through thick and thin.

Fans can expect the last season to deliver the kind of emotional depth and family-first themes that made Blue Bloods beloved from the start. Selleck’s heartfelt words reflect the genuine bond behind the scenes and hint at a respectful, powerful farewell for the Reagan family. “It’s hard to let go,” Selleck admitted, “but we’re grateful for every moment we had.”

As the final episodes approach, viewers will no doubt be tuning in not only for the crime drama but to witness the poignant send-off to a show—and a cast—that’s felt like family for so many.
