After airing the first half of its episodes in spring 2024, Blue Bloods is set to end its run as it returns in fall 2024 with the final batch of episodes for Blue Bloods season 14. 

Blue Bloods is the second longest-running scripted TV show set to air on CBS, with its 14 seasons, its seniority on the network comes only second to NCIS. Blue Bloods remains one of the more popular shows on TV, with CBS reporting it as the No. 1 show airing on Fridays and the No. 3 broadcast drama overall.

Here's what you need to know to watch the final episodes with the Reagan family.

Blue Bloods season 14 next episode

Blue Bloods season 14's second half is set to premiere on CBS Friday, October 18, at 10 pm ET/PT. As it has for the last few years, it is joined by S.W.A.T. season 8 and Fire Country season 3.

To watch Blue Bloods, you must have access to CBS, whether that is through a traditional pay-TV subscription, a TV antenna, a live streaming service that offers CBS (Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV) or Paramount Plus (you can watch it live with a Paramount Plus with Showtime plan or on-demand with all Paramount Plus tiers).

Blue Bloods season 14 plot

While there are overarching plot arcs for Blue Bloods' main characters, like Erin's run for District Attorney in season 13 (which she dropped in the season finale), the show is primarily a procedural, with its characters dealing with different cases and issues in each episode. That makes it difficult to know exactly what lies in store for Blue Bloods in season 14, though we can expect more family dinners and thrilling cases. 

It is important to note that Blue Bloods season 14 is set to be the final season of the series, so much of the focus will be on wrapping up the varying storylines of the main characters.

To that end, the synopsis for the first episode, titled "Loyalty," has been shared. Read it right here:

"Jaime goes undercover with a deadly human trafficking ring. Danny and Baez investigate a homicide connected to Darryl Reid (Malika Yoba), Danny’s old partner. Also, Frank grapples with whether to publicly support Mayor Chase (Dylan Walsh) on a policy decision and Eddie is determined to teach a young shoplifter a lesson."

Blue Bloods season 14 cast

The cast of Blue Bloods has grown over the years, but the actors playing the Reagan family are still the central characters. They are: 

  • Tom Selleck as Frank Reagan
  • Donnie Wahlberg as Danny Reagan
  • Bridget Moynahan as Erin Reagan
  • Will Estes as Jamie Reagan
  • Len Cariou as Henry Reagan
