Blue Bloods began in 2010, and has since aired for 13 seasons. Blue Bloods will begin the run of season 14 on February 16, 2024, and will continue the two-part season throughout 2024. Late last year, it was announced that Blue Bloods was cancelled, making the upcoming year its final season.
The cancellation of Blue Bloods came after a series of rocky patterns in the production leading up to season 14. CBS reportedly asked for major budget cuts, which resulted in actors taking pay hits to keep dozens of crew members employed. As Deadline reported, the renewal of Blue Bloods season 14 was made under the assumption that season 14 may very well be its final season. Thus, the Blue Bloods team took to the writers’ room with finality in mind.
Hopefully, the rocky production of Blue Bloods season 14 foreshadowed its cancellation enough for the final episodes to feel truly final. If Selleck is accurate in his statement, the Blue Bloods writing team is “not out of ideas.” On the one hand, that could make the show feel like it lacks closure in the finale, if there are still numerous other plotlines to explore with the characters. Looking from an optimistic lens, this will mean that Blue Bloods still has rich themes to explore as it soon enters season 14.
