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 favorite show on television. Love the human values you don’t see so much anymore and how it is clean and all family members can watch. Love the Sunday dinners with family. Please keep it going.
I would love to see another season of blue bloods.
It has to continue. Best show on TV hands down!!!
I think it’s the best show on TV, they just need to give Jamie and Edie more air time and Erin less, I get tired of her wihning all the time – if she’s not wihning she’s mad at one of them I get tired of it. 2 more years please
Please renew Blue Bloods for two more seasons, at least. The characters are the equivalent of having close friends that you grow up with and have been part of the family once removed. It’s just a tv show but a heart warming one that impacts the lives of all who actively watch. I grew up in Hawaii and became a fan of Tom Selleck back then. Part of my family worked on the set and out on location. We’d see him around town. In Blue Bloods he’s a different character but he’s just a little more mature and has just… Read more »

THis is one of the finest shows on TV. I am hoping to see seasons 11 and 12! The values taught are priceless as they relate to family and living.
I actually stopped watching the show pretty much after they killed off Linda Reagan.It wasn’t the same show anymore and I couldn’t connect with the storylines.
Suggest you watch last nights finale. It might grab you and pull you back in it was that good. Enjoy.
I love Blue Bloods. The show is so real and I love the cast.
I would sure love to see a few more seasons of this show. I look forward to it every Friday night.
