Blue Bloods season 14

The fourteenth and final season of Blue Bloods, a police procedural drama series created by Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess, premiered on CBS on February 16, 2024.
The first half of the season, consisting of 10 episodes, premiered on February 16, 2024, while the second half of the season, consisting of 8 episodes, premiered on October 18, 2024.
On November 20, 2023, it was reported that the fourteenth season would be the series's final season, with the first 10 episodes begin airing February 16, 2024, and the remaining eight in the fall of 2024, with producers including Selleck having pushed the network for the extension beyond the spring for the additional episodes in the fall. The second half of the final season premiered on October 18, 2024 and the series finale aired on December 13, 2024.
In a February 2024 podcast interview, Gregory Jbara said it was possible the show could be extended to the spring 2025 season and beyond 300 episodes depending on viewership and initiative by Tom Selleck, a hope Jbara still expressed several weeks later. Fans started an initiative to save the show with a social media hashtag, a petition, a letter writing campaign and in person signs on location, and cited Wahlberg's comments in a February 2024 Entertainment Tonight interview: "Cancel the Cancellation! The fans want us to keep going. The cast want to keep going. Cancel the Cancel!" Wahlberg paid tribute to the fans' efforts during his regular live-tweeting during the airing of the show and in an Instagram video featuring other cast members. In interviews with CBS News in May 2024 during production of the second half of season 14, Selleck said "I will continue to think that CBS will come to their senses" and that "all the cast wants to come back," comments he repeated at the end of May. He also said that "when they choose to end it, I think is debatable." He also told Entertainment Tonight "I'm gonna stay optimistic because everybody on the show wants to do it."
On June 4, 2024, Paramount Global co-CEO Brian Robbins said at a shareholder presentation that there were plans for a "franchise extension" of Blue Bloods. In a February 2024 appearance on the Kelly Clarkson Show, Wahlberg had stated that "maybe there's some way it will still end up surviving and carrying on in a different way." Also in February 2024, showrunner Kevin Wade had suggested in an interview that "I think there is some idea on the part of the current CBS to maybe [explore] a 'Blue Bloods 2.0.''' In March 2024, Wahlberg said in a radio interview with Andy Cohen along with his New Kids on the Block band members that there were "rumblings" that the show could continue after its "alleged" final season, during which band member Jordan Knight appeared to joke about a "Donnie spin-off."
After negotiations over a merger between Paramount Global with Skydance Media initially collapsed in June 2024, a Deadline Hollywood column evaluating the company's possible future plans noted that the show's "Tom Selleck-led cast is kicking and screaming to stop the show from fading away at season's end. Blue Bloods might not be a sexy Emmy magnet like Succession, but it has made a lot more money." In reviewing TV ratings for the 2024 season, Deadline called the cancellation "one of the bigger head scratchers" given the show's average audience of over 8 million viewers in 7-day ratings, noting that it "still does better than The Equalizer (7.7 million) and Fire Country (7.1 million)," both of which were renewed.
In comments livestreamed and recorded after production completed on season 14 in June 2024, Wahlberg recalled the disruption during the COVID-19 pandemic and stated that "God willing, we'll get some more time together to do something magical again ... I pray that that can happen in one way or another, I won't give up trying." He wrote on Instagram in the days after filming that the show was one "that I know so many of us, and so many of you, wish could continue." In July 2024, Wahlberg hinted to fans of his band New Kids on the Block that he might be involved in some sort of follow-up to the series after its "apparent" final season. In an interview before the airing of the second half of season 14, Wahlberg confirmed he would be interested in spin-off ideas. He also said the week of the fall Season 14 premiere on Watch What Happens Live that "there could be some spin-off or off-shoot", a possibility he hinted at again in social media posts ahead of the end of Season 14. He told US Weekly in a video interview that he hasn't "closed the door on the character or on somehow if there is something for Danny, somehow incorporating some of the Reagans into that too and some of the other characters from Blue Bloods." For Entertainment Weekly, he outlined an "alternative ending" for his character that could involve another cast member and some appearances from other family members, and suggested it could be a "tease for a spin-off." In other interviews the week of the Season 14 finale, Wahlberg said a spin-off was "under discussion" and that he would be "open to carrying on the character" under the right circumstances. Marisa Ramirez told Latin American news outlets that filming the end of season 14 was sad and emotional and that the cast and crew "want to continue, we want more," and that she "would love to continue giving life to Maria [Baez] for another 15 years." She said she would be open to a spin-off involving her character. "I would never turn down something like that. It would be a blessing, which I would accept with open arms."
Abigail Hawk, who was a cast member since the first season, said in October 2024 that "none of us wanted the show to end. Every single one of us, regardless of whatever rumors were flying around, was very ready, willing, and able to continue working. Most especially Tom and Len [Cariou]." She added that "we all wanted to continue, this is not something any of us wanted. We felt that there was so much more we could continue telling and sharing and creating." In a separate October 2024 interview Hawk said that "I think there's always hope that once ... these final episodes start airing CBS may go you know even though like the set's gone, the props are gone but like that those things can be rebuilt and if you have the entire cast and crew totally ready and willing to continue I think it's possible that the conversation may happen. I'm not saying it's probable but I think it's possible." She also told Hello Magazine: "Now I think once these episodes start airing, CBS executives may realize that they have made a colossal error and perhaps rethink down the line so I think [continuation] remains possible," adding that "hope floats, and I think it's necessary to have something to hang on to and we would all certainly drop everything and make that happen" and that "there are more stories to be told." She acknowledged that "yes the set is gone, but with the professionals we have in our industry it would take two seconds to rebuild a set like that if it came to that" and that "there's still a little teeny bit of a silver needle somewhere in the hope haystack and I'll hang on to it," and cited the title of Selleck's recent memoir being You Never Know."There's a void left by our show. And I think that, in time, the higher-ups will come to regret it ... I would say that every single one of us as far as the cast is concerned, we are all ready and willing and able to work, to continue."
Steve Schirripa told People "Everyone was really sad [about the show ending] because the ratings were good. We couldn't understand why it got canceled." Moynahan said following the filming of season 14 that cast and crew still felt "disappointed" by the cancellation decision and recalled Selleck returning to set for the season's final filming day of scenes with her and Wahlberg at the 54th precinct squad room set in Greenpoint, Brooklyn after completing his own season 14 filming days earlier with several other cast member at an outdoor funeral scene and the final dinner scene the day before. Selleck, who flew back to New York from California to be on set for the final season 14 filming day, said at the end of season 14 that he was "frustrated" about the cancellation decision, noting the show's continued ratings success that he felt was taken for granted, and reiterated that "there isn't a single one of [the actors] who didn't want to come back." Selleck told Variety in December 2024 that "I can't figure out why they didn't start streaming it, do 10 episodes a year ... Everybody wanted to come back. And I think with this cast, it would have been a gift for the audience." Selleck told Entertainment Weekly that "somebody may be able to tell me someday why CBS wanted to end it, but I haven't had a good answer yet." Asked about participation in a possible spin-off, Selleck said he was "open to suggestions because I love Frank Reagan," but added that he did not see the character retiring and going off to a small town. Wahlberg said in December 2024 he and other cast members still have the feeling of "hoping someone from 'Blue Bloods' is chasing me down the street saying, 'Wait, we're going to do one more season'" and added that ""until we know that there's absolutely no way this show can be resurrected somehow, I think we're all walking forward... but taking a peek back."
The TV Ratings Guide wrote in November 2024 that it was "surprising" that CBS hadn't yet officially announced development of some sort of Blue Bloods continuation given the show's continued ratings success, and noted the possibility of some sort of a follow-up similar to Criminal Minds: Evolution, which had previously been suggested by a writer for Precinct TV.
In February 2025, CBS officially announced that Donnie Wahlberg would star in and be an executive producer on a spin-off with the working title Boston Blue, ordered straight to series for the 2025 - 2026 TV Season, set to premiere in the fall.
