Tom Selleck to Star in New 'Jesse Stone' Movie, on a New Network

By Matt Webb Mitovich

Blue Bloods patriarch Tom Selleck will portray Paradise Police Department chief Jesse Stone for a ninth time, but for the first time not on CBS.

Per our sister site Deadline, the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel (fka Hallmark Movie Channel) has greenlit Jesse Stone: Lost in Paradise, with an eye on a fall premiere.

Selleck’s most recent turn as Jesse Stone circa May 2012 drew 12.8 million viewers for CBS, easily topping that Sunday night in total audience, but mustered just a 1.2 demo rating, placing it behind an America’s Got Talent rerun.
