From Returning Characters To The Release Date, You Won’t Believe What Will Happen In Season 14. Prepare To Be Surprised

Blue Bloods, the enduring police drama led by Tom Selleck, is gearing up for its conclusive 14th season, which will be presented in two parts. The initial 10 episodes are scheduled to premiere on CBS and Paramount+ from February 16, 2024, with the concluding eight episodes expected in autumn 2024. Tom Selleck expressed his gratitude for the show’s 13-year run, emphasizing its dual focus on law enforcement and family dynamics.

The returning cast for this final season includes familiar faces such as Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Marisa Ramirez, and Vanessa Ray. Season 13’s finale left fans with few clues about the upcoming season’s plot, but the return of characters like Jackie Curatola, Danny’s former partner, and family members suggests potential reunions and story developments.

The show’s creators have promised a satisfying and fitting conclusion for the devoted fan base. While the US air dates are set, the UK air date is yet to be confirmed. As anticipation builds for the final chapter of Blue Bloods, fans can expect an emotional and impactful send-off for this beloved series.

Someone in the Blue Bloods ranks is looking to cop the long-running, well-watched CBS drama at least a few more episodes.

It was announced in November that CBS‘ super-reliable Friday-night closer would be ending after the current season, which is being split into two batches (of 10 and then eight episodes) — the second of which won’t air until the fall.

Back in January, Blue Bloods front man Tom Selleck indicated that he himself is by no means champing at the bit to hang up NYPD police commissioner Frank Reagan’s three-piece suits. “I’m not counting the days so I can do something else,” he told TV Insider. “I love the work. Sometimes the hours are a little harder because I’m older, but so what? I want work as long as they’ll have me.”

t was actually Blue Bloods vet Gregory Jbara, who plays NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Garrett Moore, that first fueled talk of these “final” 18 episodes not necessarily being 100% final.

“I don’t want to get any anyone’s hopes up,” Jbara said on the Think Big podcast (cued up above), “but if our numbers are really good… I know that there’s a push to try and flesh out the back half” of the season, to extend it into Spring 2025 and hit the 300 mark. (Currently, Blue Bloods is on pace to fall a few shy of the entirely symbolic, round-number milestone.)

Tom [Selleck]’s got something going on,” Jbara claimed. “He literally goes, ‘I’ve got a couple tricks in my bag that I’m going to present to the network.’

“I think I can say without teasing anyone that that is a something that’s being considered,” Jbara added.

Three episodes into the season, Blue Bloods has led Friday in total audience twice, with only its premiere falling just shy of lead-in Fire Country‘s. With Live+7 playback, Blue Bloods is averaging 8.8 million viewers, trailing only NCIS, the Super Bowl-inflated Tracker, FBI and Chicago Fire, among all TV dramas.
