TWO MEN AND A SITCOM

‘Blue Bloods’ Star Returns to TV for ‘Three Men and a Baby’ Reunion

The 81-year-old actor will guest star in a new Apple TV comedy series that stars Elizabeth Banks and his former co-star Ted Danson.

Tom Selleck has landed his first role since the “frustrating” cancellation of Blue Bloods. The 81-year-old actor will guest star in a new Apple TV comedy series featuring Elizabeth Banks and Ted Danson. Selleck and Danson acted together, alongside Steve Guttenberg, in the classic comedy, Three Men and a Baby (1987), and the sequel, Three Men and a Little Lady (1990). In the new series, Banks will play a newly divorced woman who steps in to manage her father’s (Danson) love life at his retirement community. Selleck starred in Blue Bloods for 14 seasons before CBS unexpectedly pulled the plug almost two years ago. “We’d already taken a 25 percent cut in salary,” the actor said last month on Danson’s podcast, Where Everybody Knows Your Name. “We’d already done all sorts of things to keep the show going... Out of the top 100 shows on broadcast television, Blue Bloods was number 6 in our 15th year. Nobody wanted to leave. Everybody was gonna stay on. That’s hard to get. It may be some kind of record to have the same cast intact for that length of time.”
