Tom Selleck Is Still the Biggest Mystery
Fans continue to ask whether Tom Selleck will finally appear on Boston Blue.
The latest update comes from Sonequa Martin-Green, who revealed that the production team has been talking with Selleck for quite some time. She said he is “always getting asked” and that everyone wants him to appear, but only if the story feels right. Selleck himself remains undecided. (TV Insider)

Bridget Moynahan May Be Back Again
Another exciting update involves Bridget Moynahan.

More Blue Bloods Characters Are Welcome
According to cast and producers, the door remains open for additional Blue Bloods veterans to appear in future episodes. Season 1 already featured appearances from:
- Bridget Moynahan
- Marisa Ramirez
- Len Cariou

Tom Selleck’s New Project
While fans wait for news about Frank Reagan, Selleck has officially landed a major new television project.

This doesn’t rule out a future Boston Blue appearance, but it does mean his schedule is becoming busier. (Cinemablend)
The Biggest Question Heading Into Season 2
The most important unanswered question remains simple:
Will Frank Reagan finally come to Boston?
With Danny Reagan now firmly established in the city, Maria Baez returning, Erin Reagan potentially making more appearances, and producers continuing conversations with Tom Selleck, Season 2 may become the most Reagan-family-focused chapter of Boston Blue yet. (TV Insider)
For now, fans are watching closely—and hoping that the next major headline includes Frank Reagan’s long-awaited return. (TV Insider)
