Donnie Wahlberg is optimistic about the future of “Blue Bloods” — despite the show’s upcoming end. Filming has wrapped on the final season and Wahlberg, 54, answered some fan questions during a July New Kids on the Block concert , teasing that it might not be over just yet. “Well, we filmed the apparent last season of ‘Blue Bloods,’ and it’ll air starting in October.
Maybe there’ll be something else after that,” he said in a clip shared by TV Insider. “I don’t know anything officially yet, but there’s things in the works. So maybe something awesome will happen.
” He added: “You know I’ll do things after ‘Blue Bloods’ no matter what.” In June, Paramount Global Co-CEO Brian Robbins hinted that a new “Blue Bloods” series could be in development . “In TV, new franchise extensions are coming for ‘Dexter,’ ‘Billions’ and ‘Blue Bloods,’” Robbins said during a presentation at the company’s annual stockholders meeting.
While spinoffs have already been announced for “Billions” (“Millions”) and “Dexter” (“Dexter: Origins”), no official “Blue Bloods” spinoff has been confirmed. “Blue Bloods,” which premiered in 2010, follows the Reagan family, as many of them work in the NYPD under the leadership of police commissioner and patriarch Frank Reagan, played by Tom Selleck . The series also features Frank’s father, Henry Reagan (Len Cariou), and his children: Erin (Bridget Moynahan), Danny (Wahlberg) and Jami.
