After 14 seasons, the Reagan family is set to say goodbye. 'Blue Bloods' premiered in September 2010, following a New York City family deeply involved in law enforcement. The show's talented cast, featuring Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, and Len Cariou, has kept fans engaged for years, as they watched the Reagans navigate both personal and professional challenges, all while maintaining their weekly family dinners.
The 14th and final season will wrap up with its 18th episode on Friday, December 13. The series finale, titled 'End of Tour,' will bring the total episode count to 293. According to the press release, viewers will see the Reagans in a high-stakes situation as they work to prevent chaos in the city when New York's gangs unite to demand amnesty for their imprisoned and awaiting-trial members. Guest star Edward James Olmos, known for his roles in 'Miami Vice' and 'Battlestar Galactica,' will also appear in the finale.
The final episode will air on December 13 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and will be available to stream on Paramount+. Subscribers with the Showtime add-on will have live and on-demand access, while those with the Paramount+ Essential tier can stream it the following day. Other streaming options include free trials with DIRECTV, Hulu + Live TV, and Fubo.
CBS announced the cancellation of the long-running procedural in November 2023. Tom Selleck, who plays Frank Reagan, expressed his frustration with the decision in an interview with TV Insider. 'If you were to say to the television network, 'Here's a show you can program in the worst time slot you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the next 15 years,' it would be almost impossible to believe,' he said.
Despite the show's end, Selleck remains grateful for the experience. 'After 15 years, it's hard. It's hard to let go because coming to work was a joy,' he added. Donnie Wahlberg, who plays Danny Reagan, shared emotional moments from filming the final dinner scene. 'When we finished the final take of the final dinner scene, everyone just kind of sat there in silence,' he recalled. Selleck's reading of Theodore Roosevelt's poem 'The Man in the Arena' during the final scene left a lasting impact on the cast and crew.
Wahlberg expressed his gratitude for being part of a show that meant so much to so many people. 'We were part of something that meant a lot to a lot of people,' he said, reflecting on the show's legacy.
