Blue Bloods Season 14: Final Season Updates, Fan Efforts, and Latest Episodes
The fourteenth and final season of the police procedural drama series Blue Bloods, created by Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess, premiered on CBS on February 16, 2024. The season is divided into two halves, with the first 10 episodes airing from February 16, 2024, and the second half of 8 episodes starting on October 18, 2024.
Despite the announcement of the final season, fans and the cast are making a strong push to extend the show. In various interviews, including a February 2024 podcast, Gregory Jbara mentioned the possibility of extending the show into the spring 2025 season and beyond 300 episodes, depending on viewership and initiative from Tom Selleck. Fans have launched a social media campaign, a petition, and a letter-writing initiative to save the show, which has been acknowledged and supported by cast members like Donnie Wahlberg through live-tweeting and Instagram videos.
Tom Selleck has also expressed optimism about the show’s future, stating in May 2024 that “all the cast wants to come back” and that he believes CBS will reconsider ending the show. Additionally, Paramount Global co-CEO Brian Robbins mentioned plans for a “franchise extension” of Blue Bloods in June 2024.
In the latest episodes, the show continues to tackle compelling storylines. The episode “The Gray Areas,” which aired on November 22, 2024, involves Danny and Baez investigating the death of a rising MMA fighter, while Eddie and Jamie work to find Badillo, whose job is at risk after he is caught smoking weed. Other plotlines include Frank being blindsided by Mayor Chase‘s request to deploy the National Guard to patrol the subway system, and Erin‘s efforts to prove the innocence of a mock trial competition winner arrested for drug possession.
The show’s enduring popularity and the cast’s commitment have made it a significant part of CBS’s lineup, with discussions ongoing about its potential future beyond the current season.
