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?
I have really enjoyed the show right up to season 9. I’m a South African. Can’t wait for season 10 to be aired in South Africa. It would be much appreciated if we could have few more seasons.
We look so forward to Blue Bloods every Friday night. We have watched this show since inception. We love everyone on the show! Please do not cancel it. It’s a family show that is great for all ages and we all connect with the Reagan Family. It reminds us of how precious family is and it’s just an all around amazing show.
Blue Bloods is our favorite show. We mostly watch PBS but wouldn’t miss Blue Bloods and will be very sad if/when it ends
Would love to see Blue Bloods continue for many more seasons. It is one of the only shows I look forward to watching. I have watched all seasons, and it seems that each season gets better and better. I especially enjoy the charisma of the Reagan Family and the varied storylines in each show. The writing is fantastic, and the acting superb. Blue Bloods is a gem of a series.
Blue bloods is the only show on TV that I watch over and over on demand! The characters have become like family ! The introduction of ‘Joe Hill’ in the final episode of this season was masterful, I look forward to the next two seasons to watch this develop!
BLUE BLOODS is the consistently best written and acted show on television.
Definitely want more seasons. Love this show
I hope they do another series or two it’s the only show I enjoy
Blue Bloods is, by far, the best show on TV. It shows true family values, the excellent job that is done by the NYPD,
and wonderful acting by all the entire cast. One of the few shows that an entire family could enjoy together. The final episode of Season 10 was so beautifully done. (Brought tears to our eyes for many reasons!)
Thank you to CBS for having this excellent show and we cannot wait for season 11!
Really hope it gets renewed. I love Blue Bloods. Superb show.
Yes. That’s my favorite show! I hope it gets renewed.
Loved season 10 finale. PLEASE add season 11, 12, …….
We DVR Blue Bloods. And look forward to watching it.
Definitely keep it going!
Blue Bloods is 1 of 2 shows on Television that our entire family can watch and actually completely enjoy together. We watched the first episode and season 10 episode 19. Please renew this show for 2 more seasons. This is the first time I have ever written to a station to advocate for any program. Please don’t remove such a quality series among so many horrible programs that are currently offered as entertainment. Blue Bloods is a 12 out of an 1-10 scale.
Blue Bloods is the BEST series on television today. It portrays a wonderful family dynamic. The characters each exude excellence of character, integrity, love for family, country and faith in GOD. Please renew Blue Bloods for at least two more seasons!! We need many more programs like this. Thanks to all the actors, writers, producers, cameramen/women cast and crew. SALUTE!!!
One of the few good shows on TV. The acting is very good.
