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?
Absolutely LOVE it! Can’t imagine Friday night without it. Please bring it back.
Please sign on for 2 more seasons CBS!!!! We love this show so much and the characters are like family. I know the ratings must support this addition of two more seasons. With that finale too!!! Please bring it back!
Love this show. Saw season finale, it was a tear jerker as Tom Selleck stated it would be. I have been a Tom Selleck fan since I saw him in the Chesterfield cigarette commercial a while back! I like all of the characters… Tom Selleck is great in the roll.
CBS needs to bring back Blue Bloods for an 11 Season.
Mine and my wife’s favorite show!! Loved the finally!!
Yes, at least two more seasons. Look forward to each episode.
I just love this show I feel like they are my extended family. I don’t know how I would manage without having this to look forward to experiencing. Stay safe guys and come back with Joe junior.
This is such a wholesome show each and every time. This season’s finale also had me in tears at the end. Frank (Tom Selleck) was looking at Joe and searching for his long lost son. So very touching.
Love the show. Looking forward to seeing the new season
Yes my husband and I watch the show every Friday night. I hope it’s renewed for at least two more years
Yes, continue at least 2 more seasons. The story plot and actors are real or could be. Plots could be True stories. Love the show. I’m not the only one.
I’ve watched every episode from the beginning! I love it so much that I watch reruns even though I know what happens!!!
I cried at the Season 10 finale and can’t wait to see where this can go!!!
I’d choose to watch Blue Bloods over most other shows!
Please make Season 11 & 12!!!
Blue bloods is one of my all time favorite tv shows. The depth of the characters really makes it work. The story lines are well written and relevant. Looking forward to the next season.
My very favorite show!! Tom Selleck is my favorite but everyone is great!!
I love this show, I grew up in a police family where my father was Chief of Police. And we did the exact same thing concerning Sunday dinners. And our spouses had to learn how to be part of our family, we are different ! Hope it plays another 10 years !
