Blue Bloods Season 14 marks the series’ final season, with the decision to conclude likely influenced by a combination of rising production costs, a pay cut for the actors, and the impact of the SAG-AFTRA strike. To accommodate the limited episode count due to the strike, the season will be split into two parts. The first 10 episodes will air in February 2024, followed by an eight-episode break until fall 2024. This division allows the show to conclude its story with a total of 18 episodes, while also capitalizing on the series’ strong linear ratings in the fall of 2024.
