CBS' 'Blue Bloods' to End After 14 Seasons

CBS has today announced that the upcoming fourteenth season of its original drama series Blue Bloods will be its last. Moreover, the final season will be split into two parts.






The 18-episode fourteenth and final season will begin on Friday, February 16 at 10/9c. This spring will see the drama air 10 episodes. The final 8 episodes of the season will then be released sometime in Fall 2024.

The drama stars Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynhan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Marisa Ramirez and Vanessa Ray.

Kevin Wade, Siobhan Byrne-O'Connor, Ian Biederman and Dan Truly serve as executive producers. CBS Studios produces.

"Blue Bloods will forever be a beloved part of CBS' legacy," said Amy Reisenbach, President of CBS Entertainment, and David Stapft, President of CBS Studios. "It ruled Friday nights with unprecedented dominance since its premiere and established itself as a pillar of our winning lineup with an exceptionally devoted fan base. We'll be forever grateful to the legendary Leonard Goldberg for developing this signature series and to the amazing cast led by Tom Selleck, who America embraced as family and watched as welcomed guests at the Reagan dinner table. We also sincerely thank the incredible writing and producing teams guided by executive producer Kevin Wade, for years of compelling episodes as they conceive this final chapter that we expect to be the most satisfying season yet for our loyal viewers."

"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," added Selleck. "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."

"It has been a tremendous privilege these past 13 years to fill the huge canvas that Leonard Goldberg imagined: a police procedural told from the point of view of four generations of a close-knit, fiercely loyal family," shared Wade. "Blue Bloods will leave behind an enduring legacy that was collectively achieved by our extraordinary cast, our talented and tirelessly inventive writers, and the best crew in the business. CBS Studios and the CBS Television Network encouraged us to tell our stories in multi-layered narratives that have gone on to resonate with millions of people, and we thank them for their unwavering partnership and collaboration. We look forward to giving fans an exciting and emotionally satisfying final season, and we are forever grateful for their enthusiasm and loyalty over all these years."
