CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach has confirmed that Blue Bloods will conclude with its 14th season, despite fans’ efforts to keep the show on the air. The final season will be split into two parts: the first 10 episodes premiered in February, while the remaining 8 will air starting in October.
During a press conference to announce CBS’ Fall 2024 schedule, Reisenbach explained that the decision to cancel the series was part of the network’s aim to freshen its portfolio. She recognized the influence of the show, saying:
“We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the cast and crew for their dedication. We will definitely miss the family dinners that have become iconic. All shows eventually reach their end, and it’s time for us to refresh the schedule. Blue Bloods will conclude in December, and we’re committed to giving it the fitting sendoff it deserves.”
Why Blue Bloods Season 14 Will Mark the End of the Series
Blue Bloods, which has been a CBS fixture since 2010, focuses on the Reagan family’s roles in New York law enforcement. Despite its continuous success and averaging over 5 million live viewers each episode, CBS has determined that Season 14 will be the series’ final season.
The decision to end the show has sparked significant fan efforts to save it, including the “#SaveBlueBloods” movement, protests, and letter-writing campaigns. Nevertheless, CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach’s confirmation that the series will conclude reflects the network’s desire to refresh its schedule and provide a fitting end to the long-running show.
Ending with Season 14 allows the series to conclude with a definitive finale, minimizing repetition and ensuring that each episode remains meaningful. Despite substantial fan support and the possibility of future storylines-such as the introduction of younger family members who may ultimately join law enforcement-the network has decided to proceed with its intentions to end the series.
While the current decision stands, the passionate fan base and the show’s potential for new storylines suggest that there might still be opportunities for the series to continue if CBS revisits its decision in the future.
