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?
Blue Bloods is a really great show! I look forward
to watching it every Friday evening. Their story
is very believable and their personal story’s are
realist. Of course the family dinners are the icing
on the cake. Always always enjoy Tom Selleck!!
This is one of the best shows on TV today – even though it deals with everyday crime it always ends with positive notes about the actions taken. It shows police in a very positive light; something they get very little of today.
Please do not cancel this show. If anything, promote it more!
Please, please renew
Without a doubt, the best show on TV! WE record and love it, especially being allowed to express their faith at the Sunday meal. PLEASE add seasons 11 & 12.
Blue Bloods is my favorite TV show. I just love Tom Selleck! Please continue bringing it back for years to come.
PLEASE renew Blue Bloods for more seasons. It’s my favorite show on TV.
Without a doubt, Blue Bloods is the best quality show on TV. If CBS doesn’t renew I will never watch CBS agian!
I don’t want Blue Bloods to end . It’s a great show and has so much potential going forward. They’re the best family ever.
We LOVE this show. YES, please contract for 2 more seasons.
Of all cop series past and present, BB has the best and most intelligent character development of any..so far, and it successfully addresses strong American religo-cultural values. Certainly there are only finite crime scenarios, but as long as all present characters are willing to be rational about salaries, content, cooperative, and alive, why would CBS, for ANY reason, cancel such a successful form of regular entertainment?? We viewer out here need to stay reminded how Good deals with Bad.
Why would you cancel such a great show?? You have so much garbage on!
Absolutely love and never miss Bluebloods!!
Why stop at just two seasons? Encourage the writers like the actors have been and it could go on and on. There are so may story arcs that are currently untouched.
