Actor Tom Selleck is returning to the crime genre after a break from acting following the end of Blue Bloods.
Selleck, who played New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan in the long-running CBS drama from 2010 to 2024, has not appeared on screen since the series concluded.
He will now host, narrate and serve as executive producer of a new History Channel docuseries titled Crime and Justice, which will run for 10 episodes and focus on real-life criminal cases from American history.
The series will “trace the enduring battle between law and lawlessness and the lawmen who ultimately brought some of the nation's most dangerous criminals to justice.”
Speaking about the project, Tom Selleck said, “Throughout my career, I've been drawn to stories about consequences and the pursuit of justice. This series looks at real cases from across American history and the people tasked with seeing them through—moments when the pressure was intense, the outcome uncertain, and the decisions carried lasting consequences.”
Although Blue Bloods has ended, CBS has continued the franchise with a spin-off titled Boston Blue, starring Donnie Wahlberg.
Meanwhile, the History Channel has announced several new programmes to expand its lineup, including History’s Strange Fortunes hosted by Kevin Bacon, Extraordinary Origins with Ted Danson, History’s Greatest Machines featuring Dolph Lundgren, and 102 Minutes Inside the Towers, which revisits the September 11 attacks.
