Don't rush to say goodbye.

Summary:

  • The cancellation of Blue Bloods was an unexpected move by CBS, as the show still has a strong audience and a very dedicated fan base.
  • Even though the 10th episode of season 14 was announced as the season finale, it doesn't mean that the show is over.
  • Season 14 is split into two parts, with one ending on May 17th and the other premiering later this year.

Canceling the show in its prime is one thing, and while it may be hard for voters to understand the logic behind CBS's decision, they have learned to accept the truth. However, all the confusion that the promotion is now causing the beleaguered fandom is something that could have been avoided.

Those who saw the ad for the 10th episode of season 14 may have expected it to be the final episode of the season, as well as the entire series. But will there be a Season 15? And when will Blue Bloods end? Here's what we know so far.

Is Blue Bloods Renewed for Season 15?

The order in which Blue Bloods will end the series is quite confusing for most people. While some people believe that the show will end with the 10th episode of the 14th season on May 17th, others think that there will be the 15th season and then the story of the Reagan family will be officially over.

Both theories are technically wrong, as the 14th season won't end this May, but will continue with the second part later, during the fall season of 2024/2025. The confusion that was already spreading through the fandom must have been exacerbated by the CBS promo that suggested the 10th episode would be the finale.

The 14th season of Blue Bloods, which premiered in February, is split into two halves to ensure that each storyline is completed to the best of the writers' ability. The decision was made by the studio after negotiations between executives and the show's creators. The first part has been airing since February 16, 2024 and will end with a mid-season finale on May 17.

The second part is much more mysterious at the moment, since the only thing that has been confirmed about it is its existence and its length. Consisting of 8 more episodes, the final chapter of the Blue Bloods story is expected to air with the start of a new broadcast season this fall and end near winter.

Fortunately for fans of the Reagans and their loved ones, there hasn't been any news of casting changes throughout the season, so the show will end with everyone still in place.
