It’s only been a few weeks since the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes ended, but to keep up with the time lost, the CBS network has been one of the first broadcast networks to publish their revised 2024 primetime schedule, as it now includes the latest release dates and time slots for all the scripted shows that were put on hold until the strikes weren’t resolved. This move showcases that the network is back on its game by committing to provide uninterrupted entertainment to its viewers.
With the revised 2024 primetime schedule, fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief as they eagerly anticipate the return of their favorite scripted show, the one and only “Blue Bloods Season 14,” which was renewed earlier this year on March 29, 2023. However, on July 25, 2023, an editor from TV Fanatics stated that the main cast and crew had taken a pay cut for the 14th season to move forward, a rumor that still has not been confirmed by CBS.
This eventually led to the fourteenth season being rescheduled for next year, as the new episodes will now begin dropping every Friday starting on February 16, 2024, at the time slot of 10 to 11 PM on CBS and later available to stream on Paramount Plus. The official X (formerly known as Twitter) handle of the show also confirmed the news to their followers, quoting, “Gather around! The #BlueBloods season 14 premiere is on Friday, February 16. We’re expecting you.”

Blue Bloods Season 14 Plot: What to expect?
As the filming is yet to commence, much has been disclosed about the plot of the new season, but we are certain that the basic premise of the series will remain the same, which is as follows:
The show follows a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement.
Tom Selleck stars as Frank Reagan, the New York Police Commissioner, and patriarch of the Reagan clan, a multigenerational family of cops. Frank’s oldest son is Danny, a seasoned detective and Iraqi War veteran who occasionally uses dubious tactics to solve cases. Daughter Erin, the lone female, is an assistant district attorney. Fresh out of Harvard Law, Jamie is the youngest member and “golden boy” of the family. Jamie gave up a lucrative future in law to continue the family’s tradition in police work, and is asked to participate in a secretive investigation that even his father does not know about.
Blue Bloods Season 14 Cast: Who will reprise their roles?
The main cast members who are expected to return are as follows:
Tom Selleck as New York City Police Commissioner Francis “Frank” Reagan, Donnie Wahlberg as Detective 1st Grade Daniel “Danny” Reagan, Bridget Moynahan as DDA Erin Reagan, Will Estes as Sergeant Jamison “Jamie” Reagan, Len Cariou as former NYPD Commissioner Henry Reagan, Marisa Ramirez as Detective 1st Grade Maria Baez, and Vanessa Ray as Officer Edit “Eddie” Janko-Reagan.
We would also like to highlight that these cast members are still up to change and will be confirmed later. Lastly, the drama is created by Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess, along with its top producing team led by showrunner Kevin Wade.
Blue Bloods Season 14 Official Episode Count: Where to stream?
Initially, the next season was expected to have about 20 to 22 episodes with a runtime of 42 to 44 minutes, which are expected to air on a weekly basis. However, now it is intended to be reduced to around 15 episodes due to the delay caused by the dual strikes. On the other hand, we’d also like to point out that the titles and synopsis have not been released.
These details will be revealed once the release date draws closer to avoid any early leaks about the respective plotlines and character arcs. The fans can stream all the prior seasons on CBS’s official website, along with other streaming platforms like FuboTV, Paramount Plus, and Hulu Plus, according to the viewer’s preference based on membership plans to choose from.
You can also stream the series by renting or purchasing it on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Google Play, and Vudu. The series is also available for free on Pluto, depending on the viewer’s location. Please note that the license and rights to stream the series may expire in the near future. As a result, these streaming options are subject to change over time.
Finally, the network hasn’t released any new promos for the 14th season as the filming hasn’t even commenced, leaving a lot of time for the official marketing to begin, which usually begins a month or two before the premiere. We’ll just have to wait and see what the next few months have in store for us, as right now, no new promos will be released anytime soon.
See you Fridays. 💙 https://t.co/fYCUAiAGOh
