If the fans had their way, Blue Bloods – Crime Scene New York would probably continue with the 41st season in 2050. But the reality is different: The extremely popular police series ends this year with season 14, despite the mega success and financial sacrifices of Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg. What happened?
Blue Bloods is canceled after season 14: here’s why
Since 2010, Blue Bloods has been telling the story of the Reagan family, whose different generations work as police officers in New York, over 14 seasons. As Deadline reports, the series has been a huge success for CBS since its launch. But apparently costs more than the company wants to spend.

The Deadline report reveals that the Blue Bloods drama is all about expenses. Even the production of season 14 was anything but certain at first. Only when Stars like Selleck and the producers accepted a reduction in their salary, CBS agreed to another season. But this should be the last.
It is not known why CBS wants to save even on proven hits. The costs have probably increased season after season due to the popularity of the series and big names like Selleck. Many broadcasters have been in the red for years, especially due to competition from streaming services. And the production stop during the Hollywood double strike certainly didn’t improve the situation.
Blue Bloods star Donnie Wahlberg wants a sequel: Is season 15 still coming?
Not only the fans, but also the stars sometimes don’t want to accept the end of the series. Donnie Wahlberg recently called for a sequel to Blue Bloods and shared the wish of many community members. They lend their demands under the hashtag #SaveBlueBloods expression on social media.
Will it save the series? The chances are bad. The fact that CBS wants to scrap Blue Bloods despite ratings and community points to a larger financial connection. Even a series hit can often be no match for the financial restructuring of an entire company.
When will Blue Bloods season 14 come to Germany?
An exact streaming start for the 14th season of Blue Bloods does not yet exist for Germany. In the USA it is running in two parts. The first started on February 16, 2024, and the second is scheduled to follow in the fall.
