Blood, White & Blue

Blue Bloods is an American police procedural drama television series that aired on CBS from September 24, 2010, to December 13, 2024, across 14 seasons and 293 episodes. Its main characters are the fictional Reagan family, an Irish-American 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 was filmed on location in New York City. The series debuted on September 24, 2010, with episodes airing on Fridays following CSI: NY before being moved to Wednesdays at 10:00 pm ET/PT for a four-week tryout. After four weeks, it returned to its original Friday 10:00 pm slot, where it remained until its cancellation in 2024. On March 29, 2023, CBS announced the show had been renewed for a 14th season, with the cast and producers reportedly taking a pay cut to secure the renewal. On July 21, 2023, CBS announced the renewed 14th season would be delayed and on hold due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, and on November 20, 2023, that it would be the show's last. The first ten episodes of the season began airing on February 16, 2024, while the rest of the season, consisting of eight episodes, premiered on October 18, 2024. The series finale aired on December 13, 2024. CBS subsequently announced in February 2025 that it had ordered the spin-off series Boston Blue, which is executive produced by Wahlberg and focuses on his character of Danny Reagan. It premiered in October 2025, succeeding Blue Bloods in its former Friday-night time slot.
