Blue Bloods returns this Friday for its final season! Even though we’ve known him for a few months now, it’s hard not to get excited about what promises to be the end of an era.
The TV series launched in 2010 has been running in the United States for fourteen years! A true institution for the most loyal audience. In the run-up to the final episodes, showrunner Kevin Wade took time to tell TVLine about his legacy.
And the least we can say is that filming the last episodes was especially exciting for the whole team: “I’ll be honest with us, we shot a 45-minute report for the DVD box set (…)”
“It’s bittersweet.”
“I watched it and it was sad to see, but at the same time it was nice to know that our goodbyes were recorded somewhere.” The fact is that this latest adventure consists of only eight episodes. A particularly low number:
“It was a CBS show. Most shows that are in their final season are allowed a 10- to 12-episode order, and we really did everything we could to get it to go that way. There was a lot of discussion and they were ready. They ordered 18 episodes and we went through the discussion. From a two-part season with 10 episodes, then up to 8.
As for whether or not he thought about the potential ending beforehand, he answers bluntly: “When you’ve been on the air for 14 years, you’re bound to wonder if the next season will be the last. So we often talked about it! I think it’s best to avoid retrospectives of all the best moments of a show, because people would rather see a really good episode of a TV show that they love.”
“I hope they will be satisfied”
But then, will fans be satisfied with the end of the series they love so much? “I hope they will be happy and satisfied. We tried our best to achieve that by making the best episode possible. blue blood It is possible to know that this will be the last.”
“After 14 years of telling stories, we bow down. I haven’t been able to verify, but I think it’s probably a record for going so many years without a significant departure. A family attending a family dinner. The very first episode is still in full force today.” Fans should love this!
