What’s in store for Blue Bloods? Recently, star Tom Selleck spoke with TVInsider about the future of the CBS TV show and the season 10 finale.
The family drama centers on the Irish-American Reagans, a multi-generational clan of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. New York Police Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) leads both the police force and his brood. The cast also includes Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Marisa Ramirez, Sami Gayle, and Vanessa Ray.
In the interview, Selleck teased Blue Bloods‘ season 10 finale, which airs on CBS tonight, May 1st, at 10 p.m. ET/PT:
You know me, I don’t like finales when they say someone’s going to die or that it will have a sensational event or bigger explosions. It isn’t any of that, but it is a quintessentially Reagan story; a deeply personal one for Frank, which turns into having an enormous impact on every single Reagan on the show.”
Specifically, Selleck warned fans the finale will be a tearjerker:
I don’t expect a dry eye in the house. I got emotional when I saw a cut of it; so did my wife, who’s seen a working copy of the episode. The impact on everybody is just hugely significant. I think it’s important. Frank’s arcs usually involve a dilemma, but in this case, it’s not just his job. It’s personal and goes to the heart of what Frank has always carried inside of him. The audience really knows our characters, and the story unfolds beautifully.”
And what about season 11? CBShas not yet announced a renewal so what are the chances? Selleck says:
Well, I’m negotiating with CBS about next season. I’d like them to order two seasons. We can do much betters shows if we know where we’re going. This show has lasted because the characters have been allowed to grow and change. The potential is limitless in my opinion. The cast seems to love each other; I sure love them. The actors are doing phenomenal work. Everybody’s very much aware that this is maybe a once in a lifetime opportunity—a show that’s found its way and is welcomed by an audience. I’m ready to go back when it’s okay to start again.”
What do you think? Do you watch Blue Bloods? Do you want an 11th season?
Quality work both in acting and writing. The only Prime time CBS program I look forward to each week. Truly hope it will be renewed for at least two more seasons.
Best tv series since Winds Of War! Hope they continue the series. Never miss it!
I love this show! Now that they have welcomed Joes son with open arms..I cant wait to see Eddie and Jamie have a baby…There is so much more to seeon this Great family drama
I love Blue Bloods. It is truly a family show whose characters are believable as they live according to a strong moral cod which is so sadly lacking in the media and in many areas of politics today. I have always admired Tom Selleck for his warmth, sense of humor and strength of character. All of these qualities are reflected in the superb Blue Bloods stories week in and week out. As a fellow Trojan… fight on, Tom Selleck!!Leila
The Show is the best thing on the box it would be a disaster now if it came to an end,there are so many ideas as to future stories for the Reagan Family,keep it coming ,
Love the show since it started! growing up Catholic I can relate to the strong faith base of the characters. The fact that the show spotlights all the characters in story lines keeps it interesting from week to week. The family’s sense of having a moral compass in their lives is so refreshing! Keep it going!!
Love the show…please more..tom sellek love love him.
Keep the show………………………

This is my favorite TV show, love it, the characters and feel the possibilities are endless to continue this show.
The first episode of “Bluebloods” was introduced to me in autumn 2019 by a man who is admired for his discernment and selectivity in the appropriation of his time. Knowing he would not allot his time to engaging in activities not worth his time, I watched the first show. From that first episode I have been committed not only to every new episode aired on Friday nights at 10:00, but faithfully tune into the “Bluebloods” Wednesday marathons. Not only I, but several relatives and friends have tuned in to follow Frank Reagan’s commissioners office challenges and family interactions. Thank you… Read more »
