The award-winning actor has joined the guest-starring cast of Apple TV's upcoming comedy series led by Elizabeth Banks.
The untitled series follows Heidi, played by Banks, as she navigates life after a messy divorce. Determined to create a fresh start for herself and her kids, she accidentally gets pulled into managing her father's retirement community. This forces Heidi into an unexpected partnership with the perpetually single son of her father's girlfriend.
Tom Selleck Joins Loaded Ensemble For Apple TV Series
Selleck joins an ensemble that includes Ted Danson as Heidi's father. The cast also features Rob Delaney, Katey Sagal, Jared Goldstein, and Spencer Moss. Hamish Linklater, Michelle Buteau, and Simu Liu appear in recurring roles.
Produced for Apple TV by 20th Television, the new series will be showrun and executive produced by Heldens and Ward. Banks executive produces alongside Max Handelman and Krissy Wall through her Brownstone Productions banner.
Jonathan Krisel (Adults, English Teacher) will direct the pilot and serve as executive producer, Deadline reported.
Apple has not announced a release date for the series. Production details remain limited as the show moves through its early stages.
For Selleck, the upcoming Apple TV series marks his first major comedy television appearance since he played Dr. Richard Burke on Friends.
His casting comes nearly two years after Blue Bloods aired its final episode in December 2024.
Even after a 14-year run, Selleck remains bitter about the show's cancellation.
During a July appearance on Danson's Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast, Selleck revealed that the cast took massive pay cuts in an effort to keep the series going.
"And the real truth to that is, in the last year... at our last family dinner, everybody wanted to come back. We had already taken a 25 percent cut in salary. We'd already done all sorts of things to keep the show going," Selleck said.
"It was very frustrating because Blue Bloods was, out of the top 100 shows on broadcast television, Blue Bloods was No. 6 in our 15th year," Selleck said on the podcast. "Nobody wanted to leave. Everybody was gonna stay on. That's hard to get."
