'Blue Bloods' Actor Steven Schirripa Celebrates Return to Production Amid Coronavirus Precautions

Season 10's last episode turned out to be "Family Secrets," which was an appropriate way to end the season. The episode featured a rare twist for the show, as it was revealed that the late Officer Joe Reagan had a son, Joe Hill (Will Hochman) no one knew about. Even Frank (Tom Selleck) had no idea Joe Jr. was his grandson, even though the young Joe even works as a young detective! At the end of the episode, the Reagan family welcomed Joe to the family dinner.
Over the summer, CBS hired 21CP Solutions to work with writers and producers of their crime procedurals, including Blue Bloods, in light of the Black Lives Matter protests. In an interview with TV Insider, Donnie Wahlberg said the show could "certainly be more mindful and do a better job of" addressing topical subjects.
"...We are aware that everybody in this country has to take a closer look at themselves right now and of course Blue Bloods has to do that as well," Wahlberg, who plays Detective Danny Reagan, said. "It's a good opportunity for us to really engage in a lot of what's going on, but also maybe help the discussion and be a part of the discussion." Fans will see how this all plays out when Blue Bloods returns before the end of the year on Fridays at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.
