Will ‘Blue Bloods’ Live On? Here’s What’s Happening After Season 14

Alright, let’s talk about something that has many fans holding their breath. When CBS announced that "Blue Bloods" season 14 would be the final season, it felt like a punch in the gut. Fans everywhere started crossing their fingers, hoping another network would swoop in and save the show. After all, we’ve seen it happen before with other beloved series. But did it happen for "Blue Bloods"? Let’s dive into the details.

Did Another Network Rescue ‘Blue Bloods’?

Unfortunately, no. "Blue Bloods" didn’t get picked up by another network, and the cancellation on CBS left fans scratching their heads. Even Tom Selleck, who played the iconic Frank Reagan for over a decade, expressed his confusion over the decision. “I can’t figure out why they didn’t start streaming it, doing 10 episodes a year,” he told Variety in December 2024. Tom, an Emmy winner, admitted he didn’t understand why the show wasn’t moved to a streaming platform instead of being canceled outright. “But I’m not the boss,” he added with a mix of frustration and resignation. “Everybody wanted to come back. And I think with this cast, it would have been a gift for the audience.”

Tom went on to say that while he’s prepared to celebrate and honor the show's legacy, he’s still adjusting to the reality of its end. “It’s been such a big part of my life for so many years,” he reflected. “I’m still processing it, but I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished.”

Abigail Hawk Weighs In: No Hope for Another Network?

Cast member Abigail Hawk, who portrayed Abigail Baker throughout all 14 seasons, also addressed the situation. In an interview with Hello! Magazine in October 2024, she shared her thoughts on the possibility of the show moving to another network. “I don’t think there’s any real possibility of it going to another network,” she said. “There’s been some chatter about that, but based on the conversations we’ve had with the cast and producers, it doesn’t seem like a viable option.”

Despite her doubts, Abigail acknowledged the importance of holding onto hope. “But hope floats, right? And I think it’s essential to have something to cling to,” she added. “We would all drop everything to make it happen if there was a way. At the end of the day, CBS can do whatever they want, but I really hope they recognize not just how commercially viable ‘Blue Bloods’ is, but how much love and loyalty it has from its audience. Family stories are universal, and there’s still so much more to tell.”

Is There a Season 15 in the Works?

Unfortunately, fans won’t be seeing a season 15 of "Blue Bloods." The final episode of season 14 was marketed as the series finale. While the show itself won’t continue, there is some good news for fans of the franchise. Donnie Wahlberg, who played Danny Reagan, is set to lead a spinoff called "Boston Blue." The show is scheduled to premiere in the fall of 2025 on CBS, as revealed in a teaser trailer shared on social media.

Donnie initially expressed that he’d only consider a spinoff if it stayed true to the spirit of "Blue Bloods." “It’s going to be a very delicate balance to maintain that integrity,” he said. “Where does the family fit into all this? They can’t just stay in New York. I’d probably drive from Ohio to New York every week if I were Danny, just to make it to every dinner and back. Until we’re absolutely sure there’s no way to bring the original show back, I think we’re all moving forward, but with a backward glance.”
