Tom Selleck’s future plans after ‘Blue Bloods’ revealed — and it involves ‘Yellowstone’ creator

Tom Selleck is getting candid on the future of his career after the axing of “Blue Bloods,” saying he’d love to star in a Western helmed by “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan.

The 79-year-old revealed he isn’t ready for retirement in an interview with Parade published on Friday, dishing on his dream role.

“A good Western’s always on my list,” the legendary actor shared. “I miss that; I want to sit on a horse again.”

Sheridan recently worked with Sam Elliott on the “Yellowstone” spin-off “1883,” and Selleck explained that’s a trio he’d like to join.

“Sam was great in [1883], Sam’s always great. We go way, way back. I love him dearly. I’d love to work with Sam,” he told the outlet.

During the interview Selleck also reflected on the 15 years he spent playing New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan in “Blue Bloods.”

“The hardest part for me is we had the ‘Blue Bloods’ family and we had the actors’ family,” the “Magnum P.I.” icon said. “They’re all my pals. I miss them. It’s going to take a lot of getting used to.”

“I’m not going to turn into a bitter old guy saying, ‘Get off my lawn!’ I don’t believe in holding grudges. But if you were to say to the television network, ‘Here’s a show you can program in the worst time slot you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the next 15 years,’ it would be almost impossible to believe.”

“After 15 years, it’s hard. It’s hard to let go because coming to work was a joy,” he added.

Despite the end of “Blue Bloods,” Selleck told People in April that he is grateful for the experience and all his blessings throughout his decades-long career.

“I’ve had a very good life, a very lucky life. I don’t know if it’s what I figured I’d be doing, but it’s with a lot of gratitude,” Selleck gushed.
