Blue Bloods is in one thing of a novel spot at CBS, the place it sits as one of many few remaining marquee dramas within the community’s primetime slate that’s but to be renewed for the 2023-2024 TV season. The possibilities are good that viewers will get to see Donnie Wahlberg’s Danny Reagan chowing down throughout the weekly household dinners for no less than yet another season, if no more. However we don’t have to attend very lengthy to see star Tom Selleck having fun with an enormous reunion together with his former Magnum P.I. co-star Larry Manetti, who was revealed to be popping up as a Blue Bloods visitor star in an upcoming episode.
Donnie Wahlberg, who is thought to mild up social media with smile-filled posts about his NYOTB touring and the Blue Bloods fandom, shared a wonderful pic on Instagram revealing the massive Magnum P.I. reunion that’s on the best way. Test it out!
Possibly it’s simply me, however I believe each O.G. Thomas Magnum and O.G. Rick Wright could be proud to nonetheless be kicking it and searching as dapper as Tom Selleck and Larry Manetti do 30+ years down the road. Shockingly, despite the fact that we’re presently within the midst of Blue Bloods’ thirteenth season, this would be the first time that Manetti has graced the NYC-set drama together with his presence.
Wahlberg confirms that Manetti is certainly serving in a guest-star capability, and didn’t simply pop by the set for anecdote-sharing functions. And he shared the identical thought that I’d assume most Magnum P.I. followers had as quickly as they noticed the image: it’d be superb to see the duo joined by former co-stars Roger E. Mosley and John Hillerman. Sadly, the latter handed away again in 2017 after being retired for practically 20 years, whereas Mosley died extra just lately, in August 2022.
Tom Selleck has reunited with different previous co-stars through the years (comparable to fellow Jesse Stone TV film vet Gloria Reuben), however I can solely hope that this top-notch Magnum get-together didn’t come collectively as a remaining hoorah earlier than the community drama bids viewers farewell. Which may simply be pessimism sinking in as a result of seemingly countless glut of TV cancellations being introduced.
Common CBS viewers seemingly acknowledge Larry Manetti for tasks aside from the old fashioned Magnum P.I., too, contemplating he popped up in Jay Hernandez’s Hawaii-set reboot on two events as Nicky “The Child” DeMarco, a job he originated on Hawaii 5-0 again in 2013, and final portrayed in 2019. It’d be wild if he’s returning as Nicky inside Blue Bloods’ universe, however we’ll have to attend on character data.
Contemplating Tom Selleck won’t ever pop by the now-on-NBC Magnum P.I., Manetti’s upcoming visitor spot might be the perfect end result doable for followers of the unique run. Now if we may simply get Courteney Cox on there to account for Selleck’s Buddies work, that might be Bingo.
Blue Bloods airs Friday nights on CBS at 10:00 p.m., with the ratings-crushing Hearth Nation as its lead-in. Episodes can be found to stream the subsequent day with a Paramount+ subscription.
