“I’m open to suggestions because I love Frank Reagan, but no one has really asked,” he later said, referring to his suggestion Blue blood Character. “I can’t imagine him retiring and going anywhere. If he goes to a small town, I’d rather do more Jesse Stone Movies.”

As for the other thing Jesse Stone The film is in the works, Selleck said: “I haven’t worked on it yet,” but he wouldn’t be surprised if it happened.

“It would be an interesting challenge because Jesse is older now,” he said. “There were a few years between performances. That doesn’t mean he’s not a viable character. Everywhere I go I get asked, ‘When can I see another Jesse Stone?'”

Selleck admitted that while there aren’t necessarily “offers,” he does have one in mind for his next project – one Yellowstone Creator Taylor Sheridan.
