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?
This is one of the h e truly enjoyable shows on TV. The characters have grown and changed in real life time and the chemistry amongst the entire cast is there.
I’d love a few more seasons without worry. NBC did it with some of their shows as did CBS with some of their lesser quality ones.
This show is our family favorite by far. It is so well written and the characters are well developed. The actors do a wonderful job. Please renew for another two seasons! Thank you for all the seasons we have enjoyed.
I am a retired Police Chief and Blue Bloods has been my favorite TV program for many years. I truly hope that it continues for many more seasons.
Yes, I need my Blue Bloods to continue a minimum of two more seasons. It is the best show on CBS. I can hardly wait for Friday to show up as I know it is my Blue Bloods night.
Please CBS, Keep the show on TV.
Yes, I want an 11th season. It is my favorite show!
Yes, I want as many seasons of Blue Bloods would like to give to us. It is one of the best shows on TV and is deals with many aspects of life on a personal and professional level. I love all the characters, and I have been watching Tom Selleck for years – great actor for sure! Please keep this show on for many more years – your fans would love and appreciate that!
Blue Bloods is the highlight of my week. We want a season 11 and 12.
I AGREE!!
Yes I live Blue Bloods. I would love to see him continue for at least 2 more seasons. I love all the actors but by far Tom Selleck is the best.
I certainly hope so. I am very selective about which shows I watch, and Blue Bloods is top of my list. I know it’s been a “mature” — more like “senior” audience, but I have had several younger than 30 who have become fans as well. We would all like to have friends like the Reagans.
Blue Bloods is a great show.Please renew it.It’s wonderful to watch a well done show .Tom Selleck & the cast are first class
I love Blue Bloods and would love to see many more wonderful seasons!
I find that the characters on Blue Bloods actually provide a family stability for the audience and I love that! I hope it continues with next seasons. Thank you, all you Regan actors and writers! Great job!
I love Bluebloods. It is my favorite show. Please renew for 2 seasons.
Yes I want a Season 11. Love the show and all of its cast members. I will be very disappointed if Blue Bloods is not renewed.
Blue Bloods is one of only programs I religiously watch. Please renew for two years
