Everything to Know About the Reagan Family Return in Season 14 of ‘Blue Bloods,’ Including When the Final Episodes Will Run
Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg and the rest of the Reagan clan will return for more stories of the NYPD when Season 14 of ‘Blue Bloods’ premieres.
One of the longest-running police procedurals in television history, Blue Bloods will return for its 14th season this coming February now that CBS has announced its winter 2024 schedule, but the sad news is it will be the series’ final season. The 14th season will be split into two parts: Ten episodes will air starting Feb. 16, and then the final eight episodes will run in the fall of 2024.
“For the past 13 years it has been an honor and a privilege to work on a show that not only celebrates the men and women who protect and serve in New York City, but also displayed the importance of family,” said series star Tom Selleck, who plays NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan. “Working alongside these incredible actors, writers, producers, directors and crew has been a dream come true and I’m grateful to have been a part of this extraordinary group for over 275 episodes. Thank you to CBS Studios and CBS Network for their steadfast support and we offer heartfelt gratitude to the fans who gathered with us for dinner every Friday night.”
And even as it’s labeled a police procedural, the truth is Blue Bloods is more of a family drama, the family being the Reagans, the first family of New York law enforcement, with Selleck starring as Police Commissioner Frank Reagan as well as the patriarch of the family as father to Danny (Donnie Wahlberg), Erin (Bridget Moynahan) and Jamie (Will Estes).
Here is what we know about Season 14 so far:

Which major recurring characters will return for Blue Bloods Season 14?
Also expected to return are Frank Reagan’s staff, including Det. Abigail Baker (Abigal Hawk), Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Garrett Moore (Gregory Jbara), and Lieutenant Sidney Gormley (Robert Clohessy).
Over in the D.A.’s office, we should see the return of DA Investigator Anthony Abetemarco (Steve Schirripa).
And then, of course, Joe Hill (Will Hochman) will be in and out as a family member and also a member of the NYPD.
Also, back for family dinners will be Andrew Terraciano, who plays Danny’s youngest son Sean, who is still at home, but getting close to going off to college.
Who will join the Blue Bloods cast in Season 14?
As episodes have not yet begun filming, no additions for the new season—if there will be any—have been announced.
Which Blue Bloods cast members left the show in season 14?
Treat Williams

Treat Williams only recurred a couple of episodes a season, but his role as Frank’s friend Lenny Ross, a retired detective-turned-writer, was always a welcome addition to the cast. Now, it will have to be retired due to Williams’ unexpected death on June 12, 2023, as a result of injuries from a motorcycle accident.
Is there a trailer for Blue Bloods season 14?
With no new footage in the can, no trailer has yet been released.

Are there any spoilers for Blue Bloods Season 14?
As filming hasn’t yet begun, nothing has been leaked, but that doesn’t stop us from speculating.
The one idea that does cross our minds is the potential return of Jennifer Esposito’s character Jackie Curatola. Health issues caused Esposito to leave the series back in 2012, but her return as the Chief of Police in Suffolk County and working again with Danny to track down a serial killer felt like they had unfinished business.
Another is: Now that Erin is no longer running for district attorney, she and Jack (Peter Hermann) can spend more time together.

Will there still be a family dinner each week on Blue Bloods Season 14?
Sunday family dinners are the one thing that can always be counted on each episode with Frank and Henry overseeing the family.
What happened at the end of Blue Bloods Season 13?
The Season 13 finale, “Forgive Us Our Trespasses,” saw the return of serial killer Dr. Leonard Walker (Mather Zickel) and with him the return of detective Jackie Curatola, who teamed up with Danny to try to track him down. Walker attempted to make Jackie his next victim, but she managed to fight him off and he got away. Walker remains on the loose, leaving the door is open for Esposito to return in Season 14 if that storyline is picked up.
Also in the finale, Erin, who had been planning all season to run for New York’s District Attorney makes the announcement at Sunday dinner that she has changed her mind.
And, in a nice touch, the episode wrapped up with the iconic family dinner seeing the return of a few faces that had been missing: Danny’s oldest son Jack (Tony Terraciano), who was last seen in the Season 12 premiere, and Erin’s daughter, Nicky (Sami Gayle), who was last seen in Season 11.
