Frank Reagan's Spinoff Absence: Salary Woes?
20 Sep
Summary
- Tom Selleck's Frank Reagan may not appear in Boston Blue.
- Salary disputes are reportedly the reason for his absence.
- Boston Blue's viewership has fallen behind other CBS shows.
Tom Selleck's potential appearance as Frank Reagan in the "Boston Blue" spinoff remains uncertain, with sources indicating salary negotiations are the primary obstacle. Reports suggest both Selleck and co-star Donnie Wahlberg might need to accept reduced pay for Frank's cameo.
This development follows earlier reports of the "Blue Bloods" cast taking pay cuts to ensure its final season was produced. Selleck's willingness to do so then contrasts with his current hesitation, possibly fueled by frustration over the original show's cancellation.
"Boston Blue" is currently filming its second season, set to premiere on CBS on Friday, October 9, at 10:00 p.m. ET. However, the spinoff's viewership has reportedly not met the high standards set by "Blue Bloods."
Despite "Boston Blue" outperforming many other shows, its multi-platform statistics have lagged behind other CBS series. This performance may lend credence to Selleck's claims regarding financial constraints for guest appearances.
Selleck is also engaged in other projects, including a new Apple TV show with Ted Danson and hosting a History series titled "Crime and Justice with Tom Selleck."
