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?
My wife and I have watched each week and plan our Friday night so we can see all the characters and how they do seem like a real family. Last night introducing Joe’s unknown son makes new shows compulsory. Please don’t let our Irish family down by letting the show end. Thank you.
Bloods us our favorite series, please keep it going
My husband and I love this show, one of the best on tv
Blue Bloods is a great show. There is so much garbage on tv. Please leave the good shows on.
Please renew Blue Bloods. My husband & I love this show & bringing in Joe’s son will make a good story for Season 11.
It’s difficult to remember when one could down wit the kids (or grandkids), watch a TV show together and not, at any time, feel uncomfortable. Every person to whom I have recommended Blue Bloods thinks it’s fantastic. Go for it, Tom. You’re still at the top of your game!
Amen!
I vote for another season
“Blue Bloods” deserves being renewed for at least another two years. Blue Bloods is an excellent show worthy of greater acclaim.
Yes. I definitely want another season of Blue Bloods! One of the best crime and family related shows to be produced, next to Hawaii 5-O.
It doesn’t get any better than Blue Bloods. For a show to be a success the character’s have to fit the part and Blue Bloods have managed it perfectly! The cop family situations are so realistic. THREE MORE YEARS!
Oh please.. this is my favorite. I have watched all the episode over and over.. go the sleep listening to them. If everyone is in good health. Please please keep the show going…after all of this time they just get better and better
Please do not stop now.. so much more the Reagans can do.. love them all..
Blue bloods is one of my favorite shows. Good story line look forward to 2 more years hopefully
We have been watching since it’s beginning. Their family dinners, the way they stand up for each other, their humor it’s a perfect family show. Please don’t cancel this important show.
Blue Bloods is certainly a family show, we have been watching since it’s beginning. Their interactions and the way they stand up for each other, their family dinners it’s heart warming. I know Mr. Selleck wants to continue, please, please don’t cancel this wonderful show.
This is the only TV show that I currently watch. Please renew for 2 more seasons!!
