Blue Bloods is an American police procedural drama television series that premiered on CBS on September 24, 2010. Its main characters are members of the fictional Reagan family, an American, Irish Catholic family in New York City with a history of work in law enforcement. Blue Bloods stars Tom Selleck as New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan; other main cast members include Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes and Len Cariou for all 14 seasons, plus Amy Carlson (seasons 1–7), Sami Gayle (seasons 1–10) as well as Marisa Ramirez (regular since season 4) and Vanessa Ray (regular since season 5).
The show is filmed on location in New York City with references to suburban areas as well.[1][2] Selleck has called the New York City setting "another character" on the show.[3][4][5] The series debuted on September 24, 2010,[6] with episodes airing on Fridays following CSI: NY before being moved to Wednesdays at 10:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific time and 9:00 p.m. Central and Mountain time for a four-week tryout. After four weeks, it returned to its original Friday 10:00 p.m. Eastern time slot, where it has remained since.
On March 29, 2023, CBS announced the show had been renewed for a fourteenth season, with the cast and producers reportedly taking a pay cut to secure the renewal.[7][8] On July 21, 2023, CBS announced the renewed 14th season would be delayed and on hold due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. The 14th season premiered on February 16, 2024.[9] On November 20, 2023, it was announced that the fourteenth season would be its last. The first ten episodes of the season began airing in February 2024, while the rest of the season, consisting of eight episodes,[10] is scheduled to debut on October 18, 2024,[11] and will air its series finale in December.[12]
