Tom Selleck: Future of Blue Bloods is "limitless"

Deadline

Selleck spoke to Deadline about his prolonged negotiations, and says one of his demands for returning to the show was that Blue Bloods gets its own renewal announcement. "One of the things I said is I want a separate announcement," said Selleck. "I’m sick of this. We picked up six shows, and oh, yeah, Blue Bloods is one of them from the network. I think we’ve earned our own announcement and we got that" when CBS announced the Season 10 renewal on April 12. Selleck said he'll stick with Blue Bloods as long as the show's core cast is intact and the writing is top-notch. "Look, as long as the characters are allowed to grow and change, I think it’s limitless," he says. "If you do the same story in Season 10 that is very similar to one Donnie (Wahlberg) had in Season 1, it’s going to be a totally different story because Donnie has changed, and Donnie has evolved. That makes it wonderfully limitless in my opinion. We had the same thing on Magnum. I wasn’t ever tired of it."
