Blue Bloods has been a fan-favorite for over a decade, but what really happens behind the scenes might surprise you. The show, known for its gripping family drama and police action, has plenty of secrets that give fans a whole new perspective on their favorite series.

One of the biggest surprises is that the iconic Reagan family dinner scenes take hours to film. The cast has to sit through multiple takes, eating the same food repeatedly to get the perfect shot. While it looks like a warm family gathering on screen, in reality, it’s a long and meticulous process.

Another little-known fact is that while the show is set in New York City, many interior scenes are actually filmed on a soundstage in Brooklyn. However, the exteriors, including the Reagan family home, are shot at a real house in the Bay Ridge neighborhood, making the setting feel authentic.

From hidden filming tricks to the dedication of the cast, Blue Bloods is filled with behind-the-scenes details that make the show even more impressive than it appears on screen.
