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?
Blue Bloods is as much a tradition in our house as the Reagan Dinner is in the show. The acting is superb and sad that the show or any of the actors have not been recognized by Emmy voters. Blue Bloods is the perfect way to end the workweek. We really could use Frank Reagan at this time in the country.
Please renew BLUE BLOODS for an 11th season. Great show & a wonderful way to promote family values!! Thank you, Joan Smith
We have been diehard viewers. Please extends this to at least 2 more seasons! Thank You!
I love blue bloods. I want another season. Need to know Joe. Want to see Jamie have a baby. Like to see the granddad have a date
Just finished watching the season finale and wow. Mr. Selleck was 100% spot on. This was a definite tearjerker and I am so excited to see this story line continue into the next season. It was outstanding to see a Joe sitting at their dinning room table. It would also be nice to see a new grand baby joining the family as well. I think they are ready.
Yes! please please renew blue bloods!
Please don’t cancel it. This is my favorite show and it’s one of the few shows out there about family and values….our country needs a show like this.
I have faithfully watched since Blue Bloods began. If canceled, I would greatly miss the Reagan family. Please renew the show. I’ve loved Tom Selleck since he was Magnum PI. Please CBS, if you renew, you’ll still have me tuning in.
I love Blue Bloods and hope the show will stay on the air for at least 2 more years. It is well written and well acted and always a joy to share Friday night with the Reagans.
Love Blue Bloods! This show has continuously grow over 10 seasons, with some regulars leaving and new characters introduced. But the changes were relatively seamless. I love the family dinner at the end of each episode: it cements the characters love for each other as part of a family. I do hope the show continues for at least one more season, possibly more!
Most definitely what a season 11 and 12. This is a great show one of my favorites. Love all the characters and storylines.
I love Blue Bloods and watch past shows almost daily on ION or other Cable. I also greatly enjoy the current shows. Production and story quality has remained consistently excellent through the years. I sincerely hope that Tom Sellback’s request for two year renewal is met, and that the new character of Joe’s son will be brought in as a continuing part of the family and the show.
Blue Bloods is one of those shoes that comes along once in awhile. You get caught up in the story line, the actors become the only ones who can play the part, and you just get drawn in. I look forward to this show every week, I truly hope it can be renewed not only for another season but 2 more. Give them a way to go as they continue to grow. The ideas and story lines are limitless.
This is our number one most favorite show. Please keep it going!
Blue Bloods is a beautiful show with so much heart. It would be terribly missed if it didn’t return.
