With Blue Bloods ending in December, Tom Selleck is open to bringing Jesse Stone back to the small screen. Selleck starred in nine films featuring the character. The first eight films aired on CBS from 2005 until 2012, with the ninth film airing on Hallmark Channel in 2015. A 10th movie was being considered back in 2017 but hasn’t been made yet.
Based on Robert B. Parker’s novels, the movies follow Stone (Selleck), a retired police detective from the Paradise Police Department in Massachusetts. The movies’ cast have also included Kohl Sudduth, Kathy Baker, Viola Davis, Vito Rezza, Stephen McHattie, William Devane, Saul Rubinek, and William Sadler.
Selleck said the following when asked about what he might do next by TV Insider:
“It looks like now I might have to write [a script for another movie.]. It wouldn’t be a final one because everybody loves it. Jesse is a great character, and it would be fascinating to find out where he is quite a few years later. But I need to regroup; I don’t know what’s next, but assuming the phone doesn’t stop ringing, I’m going to keep working.”
Blue Bloods returns to CBS on October 18th. The series finale will air in December.
What do you think? Have you kept up with the Jesse Stone films? Would you watch another if it aired on CBS or elsewhere?
I am dusgusted with CBS cancelling a successful show after 15 years. I am not sure I will even consider watching WHATEVER will substitute it. But I will definitely wlcome another Jesse Stone movie. I hope another station will pick up the Reagan Family since they were a model of what American families should look like, with principles and morals in spite of all human faults. SHAME ON CBS!!
I’d love to see more Jesse Stone tv movies! I watched all of them multiple times!
I would like to see more Jesse Stone if the character mellows and lighten ups a bit. The format of the previous movies was good at the time, but I want to see a learning and growing of the character.
Yes I hope. So
Yes multiple times, best acting Tom Selleck has ever done. Sensitivity
is a part of him and is very prevalent in his portrayal of Jesse Stone. Sensitivity, emotional, compassion, love. In his eyes, if one looks hard enough we can see the soul of the real man, Thomas William Selleck. Looking forward to episode 10, Coming Home Again, and have suggested an ending of caring and helping the young people in the area for Jesse and Sister Mary John to collaborate on saving them. Beautiful series
Definitely yes !
I loved every Jesse Stone movie. I wish that they would show up again.
JESSE STONE….SUPERB CHARACTER,GOOD WRITING,WHA’T’S NOT TO LIKE? BRING IT BACK ASAP.
Love more Jesse Stone.
