All good things must come to an end, the better to finish on a high note. But as far as Tom Selleck is concerned, Blue Bloods hasn't reached that time and may very well be cutting its potential short. CBS announced in November its intention to put an end to the crime drama and Selleck has made it clear he thinks this is an error. Premiering on September 24, 2010, Blue Bloods follows the Reagan family, led by Selleck's New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, along with his NYPD squad. Back in March 2023, CBS announced the show was renewed for its 14th season, but the SAG-AFTRA strike put plans on hold. The cast took a pay cut to move production along, according to TV Fanatics, and the 14th season premiere was listed as February 16.
