There isn’t a new episode of Blue Bloods tonight, but the show will return
Friday nights are all about CBS dramas. There is some bad news for Blue Bloods fans tonight, Friday, May 24. There isn’t a new episode on, but the series will return in the fall.
We’re ready for more Blue Bloods. The bad news is we won’t get a new episode tonight, Friday, May 24.
The previous episode was the end of Season 14A. This season has been split in two, and it is still set to be the final season. CBS has not decided to U-turn on the decision just yet, and we’re not happy about that. With the U-turn on SWAT, we’d hoped for the same decision to be made for Blue Bloods as well.
There is some good news, though. There are still eight episodes to come. Now eyes are on when those episodes will air.
Blue Bloods Season 14 returns in fall 2024
CBS will at least make sure this show goes out with the right bang. Blue Bloods will return in the fall, keeping its Friday 10 p.m. ET/PT timeslot until the end. CBS isn’t testing the waters to move the show, making it clear that while we don’t get more, we are being respected with a goodbye season.
There isn’t a set premiere date just yet. All we know is that the series will return in the fall, and that will likely mean either a late September or an early October start date. The good news is that with eight episodes, we should get all episodes running back to back. While it will be sad to say goodbye to the series in 2024, at least we don’t have to wait weeks for just one or two episodes for that goodbye.
What are the chances of a U-turn? They seem slimmer and slimmer, especially with the disappointing decision to cancel NCIS: Hawaii. If that show couldn’t get a shortened final season despite being strong in the linear numbers, then there’s little chance CBS will U-turn on Blue Bloods. However, the cast is still fighting, making it clear that all CBS has to say is there’s a change of heart.
As anticipation mounts for more Blue Bloods, fans received disappointing news: there won’t be a new episode on Friday, May 24. Season 14A concluded with the previous episode, marking the first half of the split season. Despite fervent hopes for a reversal of CBS’s decision to end the series, the network has remained steadfast, much to the dismay of loyal viewers.
Yet, amidst the disappointment, there is a glimmer of hope. Eight episodes still await, and all eyes are on when they will grace our screens. The return of Blue Bloods for Season 14 in the fall of 2024 promises to deliver a fitting finale, maintaining its cherished Friday 10 p.m. ET/PT timeslot until the very end. CBS’s commitment to honoring the show’s legacy by allowing it to bid farewell in its accustomed time slot is a testament to the respect accorded to its devoted fanbase.
While a specific premiere date remains elusive, the assurance of a fall return hints at either a late September or early October debut. The prospect of consecutive episodes airing without prolonged breaks offers solace to fans dreading the impending farewell. Although bidding adieu to the beloved series will undoubtedly evoke sadness in 2024, the prospect of a continuous run for its final episodes provides some consolation.
Despite dwindling hopes for a last-minute reprieve, fueled by CBS’s recent cancellation of NCIS: Hawaii, the cast’s unwavering determination to fight for the show’s continuation remains undiminished. While the odds of a U-turn may appear slim, the cast’s advocacy underscores the possibility of a change of heart from the network. In the end, all it takes is for CBS to announce a change of direction to reignite the hopes of fans clinging to the possibility of a reprieve for Blue Bloods.
