As viewers continue to tune in to the hit series Boston Blue, anticipation grows for the possible appearance of Donnie Wahlberg‘s on-screen father, the legendary Tom Selleck. Wahlberg, known for his role as Detective Danny Reagan on the beloved CBS drama Blue Bloods, has been reprising his character on Boston Blue since October 2025. Fans hoping for a reunion between Wahlberg and Selleck may have reason to hold out hope, as Wahlberg recently shared Selleck’s feelings about potentially returning to the screen together.
During an interview with Us Weekly at CBS Fest, Wahlberg revealed that Selleck has been supportive of his work on Boston Blue. He expressed optimism about the possibility of collaborating with Selleck again, saying, “When the time is right, I’m sure we’ll find something to do together [on the show].”
While the idea of Selleck returning to reprise his role as Frank Reagan is tantalizing, Wahlberg hinted that the iconic actor may be interested in exploring new avenues as well. It remains to be seen whether Selleck would portray Frank once more, as Wahlberg cryptically teased, “[He] may want to play [Frank again], [or he] may not.”
The decision ultimately hinges on timing, circumstances, and, most importantly, the script. Wahlberg emphasized that the return of Selleck would be dependent on these factors. Fortunately, Wahlberg hinted at some exciting surprises for fans of both Blue Bloods and Boston Blue, with a few familiar faces from the Reagan family making appearances on the spinoff show.
While the prospect of Selleck joining the cast of Boston Blue is tantalizing, it seems fans will have to exercise patience and stay tuned for any developments. As Wahlberg aptly put it, “It would be lovely to have Tom, but when the time is right. Until then, onward.”
Selleck, known for his roles in acclaimed TV series and films, recently completed his tenure on Blue Bloods in 2024. Although his acting projects have been limited since then, his recent signing with United Talent Agency hints at a potential comeback in the works. Whether this includes a return to Boston Blue remains to be seen.
As Boston Blue continues to captivate audiences on CBS on Fridays at 10/9c, fans can look forward to the show’s second season. The possibility of Selleck gracing the screen once more alongside Wahlberg serves as an exciting prospect for viewers.
