Everything to Know About “Blue Bloods” Season 14

‘Blue Bloods’ will be returning for season 14. Here’s everything to know about the highly-anticipated upcoming season

In the spring of 2023, it was announced that Blue Bloods has been renewed for season 14.

So far, the series has aired 275 episodes since premiering in 2010, and focuses on the Reagan family, all of whom have careers in law enforcement and justice. Centered around patriarch Frank Regan, the family constantly struggles with morality, justice and the tough decisions that sometimes separate the two.

Starring Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Will Estes, and Bridget Moynahan, Blue Bloods has become one of the longest-running police procedurals in television history, thanks to its compelling and real characters. But while the series has been renewed for a new season, it may be a while until fans see it premiere onscreen.

Here’s everything to know about the upcoming season of Blue Bloods.

When will season 14 of Blue Bloods air?

Shortly after Blue Bloods was renewed in March 2023, the writers’ strike and actors’ strike in Hollywood began, shutting down production on a vast majority of series and movies.

While no official announcements have been made, it’s unlikely the season even began production before the strikes, meaning it could be quite some time before fans get to see what’s next for the Reagans.

CBS also confirmed that Blue Bloods wouldn’t return for the 2023 season when they announced their fall lineup in early August on their Instagram. The network said they’ll be airing “classic episodes” of Blue Bloods this season, which means reruns of older episodes.

Who is returning for season 14 of Blue Bloods?

When season 14 was announced, it was clear that Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Marisa Ramirez and Vanessa Ray were all returning for the upcoming season.

Sadly, Treat Williams won’t be returning for the new season, as the actor died on June 12 after sustaining injuries from a motorcycle accident. Williams had a recurring role in the series as retired detective-turned-writer Lenny Ross.

Upon his death, Williams’ Blue Bloods costars honored the actor, with Moynahan telling PEOPLE, “His love and devotion to his family was one for all to admire. We lost a good one, folks. RIP Treat.”

How did season 13 of Blue Bloods leave off?

The finale of season 13 brought back a lot of Blue Bloods characters that haven’t been seen for a while. When infamous killer Dr. Walker begins another murdering spree, Danny (Wahlberg) re-teams with detective Jackie Curatola (Jennifer Esposito), who hasn’t been seen since season 3 and now lives in a small town. Dr. Walker attacks Jackie, but she fights him off, and he ultimately flees into the night.

Also in the episode, Erin (Moynahan) brings an abuser to justice after he was previously released, ultimately sentencing him to 25 years. Afterward, she announces to the press that she has decided not to run for DA.

The episode concludes with the iconic family dinner the show is known for and more familiar faces from previous seasons show up. At the dinner is Danny’s oldest son Jack (Tony Terraciano), who was last seen in the season 12 premiere, and Erin’s daughter, Nicky (Sami Gayle), who was last seen in season 11.

Will Blue Bloods have more seasons after season 14?

Currently, Blue Bloods has only been renewed for one more season, but Selleck thinks the show could go on for much longer. “I don’t think there is an end point,” he told PEOPLE. “I think there is a lot of life in the show, as long as you let your characters grow and get older.”

“There is an evolution,” the actor continued. “It started out as a character-driven show and it’s even more than that now. When you get to a point like this, and we certainly had it on [Magnum P.I.], the audience is really inside the main characters’ heads.”

However, shortly after the show was renewed, Wahlberg acknowledged that season 14 could be the last. The actor told PEOPLE, “I love Blue Bloods, and I think if there weren’t a season 14, the loyal fans of the show would be very, very outraged.” He continued, “If the show were to go away without [the audience] having a proper sendoff … I think they would be mortified. So I suspect [we’ll] have at least another season.”
