In a recent interview with Parade, Hollywood icon Tom Selleck revealed a surprising hint that will thrill fans of gritty crime dramas: his beloved character Jesse Stone might be headed for a comeback. Selleck, famous for his portrayal of the brooding small-town police chief, suggested that a new chapter in the Jesse Stone saga could begin once Blue Bloods finishes its run.
“If Blue Bloods doesn’t get uncanceled, there is room for a Jesse Stone because I’ve written them, as you know,” Selleck shared. “I love Jesse. And he’d be different. He’s older. It’s been a while since the last one. That’s a fun thing to deal with.”
The Jesse Stone franchise based on Robert B. Parker’s best-selling mystery novels has had a devoted fanbase since the first TV movie in 2009. Across nine films, viewers followed the former baseball player turned police chief as he unraveled corruption and tackled crime in the deceptively peaceful coastal town of Paradise, Massachusetts.
Now, four years after his last appearance, curiosity is mounting. Where has Jesse been and what challenges might await him next? Will old enemies return, or will new threats put him to the test?
Until answers arrive, fans can still enjoy Selleck in Blue Bloods, where he continues to command the screen as Commissioner Frank Reagan. And while the future of Paradise remains a mystery, Selleck’s enthusiasm offers real hope.
With its compelling storytelling and Selleck’s magnetic performance, Jesse Stone has left a lasting mark on television. The most recent installment, Jesse Stone: Lost in Paradise, aired in 2019 and left viewers craving more. A revival would give audiences the long-awaited chance to see where Jesse’s journey leads next.
Stay tuned 
Paradise may not be quiet for long.
