Tom Selleck is reuniting with an old buddy on the set of Blue Bloods as Larry Manetti is set to star in an episode.
The pair worked together on the popular CBS crime drama Magnum P.I, which ran for eight seasons from December 1980 to May 1988.
Selleck, 78, played the title character of private investigator Thomas Magnum while 75-year-old Manetti played Orville "Rick" Wright.
The show would be a huge hit for both actors, but Selleck would ultimately decide to leave the show in search of a quieter life.
Speaking to PEOPLE in 2020, the Hollywood veteran said: "I knew intellectually what it would mean in terms of being a public person, but until you've lived it, there's no way to understand it. I had a feeling of, I don't think I'm cut out for this."
Selleck ensured readers that he didn't leave the popular show due to his distaste for it and that he still had a lot of passion for it when he was making his decision to leave.
"I quit Magnum, not because I didn't like it or I was tired of it. I was tired from it," he said. "I wanted a three-dimensional life because I didn't have one."
Fans of Magnum can get excited once again, as Selleck and Manetti are due to reunite on Blue Bloods as one of the 78-year-old's co-stars shared on Instagram.
Donnie Wahlberg - who plays Danny Reagan in the show - shared an image of the cast with an excited caption announcing the imminent reunion.
"#MagnumMonday! It's a mini Magnum PI reunion on the set of #BlueBloods this week, with guest star Larry Manetti & Tom Selleck — together again," Wahlberg wrote.
Referencing the show's other two original stars, he continued: "Wishing the late greats Roger E Mosley & John Hillerman could be here, too. #Legends #MagnumPI #BlueBloods #Family."
The actors are seen grinning alongside other cast members including Bridget Moynahan, Andrew Terraciano, Will Estes, and Vanessa Ray.
Selleck returned to acting just a few years after leaving Magnum and believes that Blue Bloods could realistically go on forever as it doesn't have a natural endpoint.
"I think there is a lot of life in the show, as long as you let your characters grow and get older," Selleck told PEOPLE in 2020.
"There is an evolution. It started out as a character-driven show, and it's even more than that now. When you get to a point like this, and we certainly had it on [Magnum P.I.], the audience is really inside the main character's head."
We're excited to see the two stars reunite on screen for the first time since the 80s!
