“They hit you with a bottle,
You hit them back with a nuclear missile.”
We all await the regular Friday night dinners with our favorite Reagan family once again. We knew they were going to come back for Season 14 by this fall or early in 2024, according to the CBS fall schedule lineup they provided. But does that hold true anymore? With the writer’s strike entering its third month shutting down major productions, will Blue Bloods Season 14 share the same fate?
Blue Bloods has been a fan classic since 2010, partly because of the treasured family values it portrays and mostly because of TOM SELLECK! Even playing a wiser and elder role, his charm and intellect remain intact. Blue Bloods is sure to provide you with two things, one is Frank (played by Tom Selleck) getting into some kind of political squabble whilst leading the police department, and the second are the Sunday classic Reagan family dinners.
There is a reason why Blue Bloods has managed to keep slot #3 for all programming purposes.
We have a few updates on the release dates regarding Blue Bloods Season 14, so keep reading.
Blue Bloods Season 14 Renewed
Fan-favorite family-cum-law enforcement drama is renewed to come back for another season (14), which makes Blue Bloods the longest-running current scripted series on CBS only after NCIS.
However, there was speculation about the return of Season 14 given the extreme budgeting problem, according to the Hollywood Reporter. For the return of the show, the cast had to pay a price. Literally! The actors (including Tom Selleck) agreed on a 25% cut in their income, so you get to watch the show carry on for another season. That’s right. The Reagan family proved to be heroes even in reality.
Relating to this renewal, the President of CBS Entertainment, Amy Reisenbach, stated,
“Led by the outstanding Tom Selleck and an incredible cast and creative team, viewers continue to embrace the Reagans, their law enforcement family, and the series’ dramatic storytelling. We can’t wait to pull a chair up to the Reagan family dinner table for another fantastic season.”
Well, we have all the updates regarding Blue Bloods Season 14 ready to go, so continue reading.
Will Blue Bloods Return in Fall 2023?
“We wanted to build our schedule for when the world goes back to normal,” George Cheeks, President and CEO, CBS and Chief Content Officer, News and Sports, Paramount+, said at Banff, according to Deadline reports. The ‘back to normal’ signifies the aftermath of the current strike situation.
If the strike situation is controlled by October, we can expect our Friday night dinners to continue with the Reagan family by late 2023 or early 2024. It will appear on the CBS network every Friday from 10:30 pm to 11:00 pm.
After the season got renewed on 29th March 2023, we have been looming over one question: Is Blue Bloods Coming Back in 2024?
In all possibilities, given the strike situation, this might turn out to be true. After CBS released their fall 2023-24 schedule, we were delighted to see Blue Bloods Season 14 in the Friday slot between 10:30 pm to 11:00 pm. This was as of July 17th. Filming for Blue Bloods Season 14 has not begun yet, so CBS had to resort to other methods to follow up on their fall schedule.
However, there have been recent announcements by CBS, who clarified that Blue Bloods Season 14 will not appear this fall. Instead, reruns of the already existing Blue Blood episodes will air on Paramount +, most probably on Friday nights. So, even if we cannot get the new season, we can still relive the old ones.
Do not worry. We will keep you updated on the new season as soon as we get our hands on it.
Blue Bloods Season 14: Cast
Blue Bloods Season 14 will probably return with the same family members we spent our Friday nights with last season. This includes:
Tom Selleck as Frank Reagan
Donnie Wahlberg as Danny Reagan
Bridget Moynahan as Erin Reagan
Will Estes as Jamie Reagan
Len Cariou as Henry Reagan
Andrew Terraciano as Sean Reagan

We will update you if there are any cast shake-ups as soon as we get updates on the same.
Blue Bloods Season 14: Cast Not Returning
Speaking of a few classic infrequent visits, we have Sami Gayle(Nicky) and Tony Terracino(Jack) who are occasionally seen at the Reagan family table during Sunday dinners. However, a formal announcement on these visits has not been speculated for Season 14.
Jackie’s return on Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 20 finale was a surprise fans did not see coming. They loved it and hope for her cameo again in the next season. However, there is no word yet about whether she will make another appearance.
Similarly, there are no plans for Lyle Lovett to return.
Blue Bloods Season 14: Possible Plot Lines
Although there are no formal announcements on what Season 14 will consist of, we can expect the following plot lines considering where we left off in Blue Bloods Season 13.
- Frank does not have a great track record with the Mayor on political issues, and in his post as the Commissioner of Police, We can expect more rendevous in that area. This includes Garrett and Sid, who continue to defy Frank’s political agendas of the day.
- Sibling squabble is inevitable when it comes to a large family like the Reagans. Erin, who is a woman of her own making, will butt heads with one of her siblings, who constantly question her on how she proceeds with a case.
- We will also see if Danny finally finds love after juggling between several favored candidates. At least we know who the fans want. It’s a plus for Danny/Baez shippers!
In case there are any more updates on the plotlines we may see, we will keep you updated.
