Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Jesse Stone series was CBS's secret weapon for ratings—nine films made because Selleck refused to let the character die on network terms.
Selleck fought to keep the films deliberately small after CBS wanted bigger explosions; he personally financed production when the network wavered.
