'Blue Bloods' Season 11: Meet Donnie Wahlberg, Tom Selleck, Whoopi Goldberg and rest of the cast of CBS cop drama
CBS’ police procedural drama, ‘Blue Bloods’, is back for its eleventh season. The show that focuses on the fictional Reagan family, an Irish Catholic family in New York City with a history of work in law enforcement, will see Frank go head-to-head with City Council Speaker Regina Thomas over protests against police brutality. At the same time, Jamie and his newish-found nephew, Joe Hill, will work together to locate Danny and Baez when they go missing while searching for a killer, while Eddie will step up to help an abrasive woman find her father’s body after it was misplaced during the outset of the pandemic.
