There's still a question when it comes to the arrival of Blue Bloods season 11, but some speculated it will premiere in the fall -- as long as the production allows it. The series has a lot of stories to address, including the real-life current events happening within the police world.
One of the major challenges of Blue Bloods season 11 is delivering an outside perspective on the Reagan family. Most of the characters in the series are part of the law enforcement -- they're part of the policing dynasty. So, this is where Nicky Reagan-Boyle comes into play.
The upcoming season could set up some specific stories for the character, something Nicky hasn't had in the previous seasons. She's working in the other part of the country and her job is different from her mother Erin and the rest of the family.
In the new installment, we could see Nicky stuck in a challenging position. Some people -- including her friends and colleague- - will probably ask her about the NYPD. She needs to have a strong perspective when these people talk about corruption and police brutality.
And if ever Nicky returns to New York in Blue Bloods season 11, she'll probably have an outside point of view that Frank, Danny, and Jamie don't have. This character could serve as a bridge between the different perspectives within the police world. She could also represent a different generation.
While there could be conflict in these conversations, it's still valuable to talk about these matters. The series isn't a political show, but it has already addressed some relevant issues in the past -- including police brutality. Now, the focus should be on different ideas that need to come to light.
For Nicky, she isn't a cop and living on the other side of the country. She is young, which makes her a well-suited character that the series can lean on for insight. She brings something different, given that she is not part of the police world.
Meanwhile, the official release date of Blue Bloods season 11 remains unknown as of this writing. The series is facing some major challenges right now, and the biggest one is the current global health crisis. The show takes place in New York, which has been the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak.
Right now, the health and safety of everyone remain to be the top priority. As per CarterMatt, Blue Bloods season 11 will likely premiere in either October or November. If not, the new season will probably be released in early 2021. Everything all depends on the current situation of the world.
