Jesse Stone: Benefit of Doubt, the 8th Movie in the Series, Begins Production in Nova Scotia

Tom Selleck as Jesse Stone

The eighth made-for-television movie in the Jesse Stone series, based on a character created by Robert B. Parker, has begun production in Nova Scotia.

The film, to be titled Jesse Stone: Benefit of Doubt, will again star Tom Selleck as the former Chief of Police for the coastal town of Paradise, Massachusetts.

The seventh film in the series, Innocents Lost, aired earlier this month on CBS to stellar ratings (though not exactly the demographic prized by advertisers).

Selleck currently stars in the crime drama Blue Bloods, which has been renewed for a second season. He has previously stated that he would not have taken on the role of Frank Reagan in the series if it meant setting aside making Jesse Stone films.

If the series' broadcast history is any indication of the future, Jesse Stone: Benefit of Doubt will likely air next May 2012 on CBS.

  5. Nowhere, that I can find, isthe name of the actress who played Amanda in this movie.

    Tom Sellick is one of my favourite actors however my interests go beyond this single actor and is piqued by the full cast - not listed is the actress mentioned above.

    This happened to me in several productions of the "Stables Theatre" in Toronto many years ago.

  6. Which character was Amanda? We can only recall two principal female roles in the movie, the singer Thelma (played by Gloria Reuben) and a brief appearance by Kathy Baker as Rose Gammon.

    2. You're right, we forgot about her! We think that is Christine Tizzard; she's had a recurring role in the series as Gino Fish's administrator.
