Blue Bloods star Donnie Wahlberg has cryptically hinted at future plans for the TV franchise, despite having filmed its “apparent final season.”
The hit CBS series stars Tom Selleck, 79, as the New York City Police Commissioner, and Donnie, 54, as his son, an NYPD detective.
The show is currently preparing to air the second half of its two-part 14th season, which has been announced as its last.
However, Mark Wahlberg’s older brother Donnie has suggested that the door could be open for more Blue Bloods-related content in the future.
He admitted that he doesn’t “know anything officially” but alluded to “things in the works” in a video of the concert that a fan posted on Instagram.

Donnie made these comments on stage during a performance by his musical group New Kids On The Block, which used to include Mark.
At one point during the show, he stopped to answer questions from fans in the audience, one of whom filmed the interaction and posted it online.
An audience member asked about the latter half of Blue Bloods season 14, which is scheduled to air on CBS from October to December.
“Well, we filmed the apparent final season of Blue Bloods and it’s going to air starting in October. And, you know, maybe there’ll be something else after that…” he said mischievously as the audience erupted in applause, drowning out the rest of the sentence.
“I don’t know anything officially yet, but there are things in the works, so maybe something amazing will happen,” Jenny McCarthy’s husband added.
He didn’t elaborate, leaving it unclear whether he was referring to another season of Blue Bloods, a movie, a spin-off or a different project.
Blue Bloods revolves around the professional and personal dramas of the Reagans, an Irish Catholic clan whose family business is law enforcement.
The cast includes Bridget Moynahan, who shares a 16-year-old son named Jack with her ex-boyfriend, NFL superstar Tom Brady.
