[1]
The series debuted on September 24, 2010,
[2]
with episodes airing on Fridays following
CSI: NY
before being moved to Wednesdays at 10:00?p.m. Eastern and Pacific time and 9:00?p.m. Central and Mountain time for a four-week tryout. After four weeks, it returned to its original Friday 10:00?p.m. Eastern time slot, where it has remained since.
On March 29, 2023, CBS announced the show had been renewed for a fourteenth season.
[3]
On July 21, 2023, CBS announced the renewed 14th season would be delayed and on hold due to the
2023 SAG-AFTRA strike
. However, on July 25, 2023, an editor from TV Fanatics stated that the main casts and crew has taken a pay cut for the 14th season to move forward. CBS has yet to confirm this.
[4]
The 14th season premiered on February 16, 2024.
[5]
On November 20, 2023, it was announced that the fourteenth season would be its last. The first ten episodes of the season began airing in February 2024, while the rest of the season, consisting of eight episodes,
[6]
is scheduled to debut in October 2024 and will air its series finale in December.
[7]
The series follows the Reagan family, with a long history of policing in New York. Frank Reagan is the New York Police Department Police Commissioner, a post his father also held. Frank's eldest surviving son, Danny, is an NYPD detective and his youngest son, Jamie, is an NYPD sergeant who graduated from Harvard University; his daughter, Erin, works as a New York city assistant district attorney. Frank's second birth son, Joe (the series mistakenly refers to him as the eldest in later episodes), was murdered by a corrupt cop in the line of duty in events that predate the series, when he was involved with an FBI investigation of a group of corrupt NYPD cops known as the Blue Templar. Frank's father, Henry, is a former NYPD beat cop who rose through the ranks to become police commissioner. The show's title references both the "blue-blooded" concept of nobility as it relates to the Reagan family's powerful roles within New York's criminal justice system as well as an entire family who dedicate their lives to law enforcement, one that "bleeds blue" to match the blue color of NYPD uniforms.
Each member of the family represents a different aspect of police work or the legal process: Frank as the commissioner, Danny as the detective, Jamie as the beat cop, and Erin as the prosecutor. Additionally, while each person's story might occasionally interweave with another's, the show also follows the professional and, at times, personal relationships with their respective partners and colleagues: Frank with Garrett Moore, the NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information and de facto
Chief of Staff
, Detective 1st Grade Abigail Baker, the primary aide to the commissioner, and later, Lieutenant Sidney Gormley, the Special Assistant to the Commissioner and de facto Chief of Department; Danny with Detective Jackie Curatola and later, Detective Maria Baez; Jamie with Officer Edit "Eddie" Janko; and Erin with Detective Anthony Abetemarco, who is an investigator for the DA's office.
The Reagans are an Irish-American Catholic family that gathers for Sunday dinner each week. According to
People
, "the Sunday supper is the heart of each show."
[8]
Both Henry's and Frank's respective wives, Betty and Mary, are deceased, as is Frank's eldest son, Joe. Erin is divorced and has one daughter, college graduate Nicky, who lived with her mother until accepting a job in San Francisco in season 10. Danny is a widower with two sons, Jack and Sean. He was married to Linda, a nurse who was killed off screen in a helicopter crash between seasons 7 and 8. Jamie married his partner, Edit "Eddie" Janko, in the season 9 finale. They acknowledged their mutual attraction during season 7 and became engaged at the end of season 8.
The season 10 finale reveals a son of Joe's, a fact unknown to himself and the family until the revelation. He‘s a 24 year old detective in the firearms unit named Joe Hill (played by Will Hochman).
Tom Selleck, 2010
Donnie Wahlberg, 2010
Selleck mentioned that he was drawn to the project because of the strong pilot script and that he was concerned about becoming involved in an ongoing series because he did not want to compromise his commitment to the
Jesse Stone television movies
.
[24]
Beginning January 19, 2011,
Blue Bloods
was moved to Wednesdays at 10?p.m. for a four-week tryout.
[25]
In February 2011, the series returned to its
Friday night time slot
due to the series premiere of
Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior
.
In the United Kingdom, the show helped launch
Sky Atlantic
by premiering on Tuesday, February 1, 2011, at 10:30?p.m.
[26]
In Australia, the show premiered in February 2011 in a primetime Wednesday slot on
Network Ten
, then from February 2013 for season two was moved from the network's primary SD channel to its HD channel

.
On October 20, 2012, CBS announced that
Jennifer Esposito
was being dropped from the series, with her character, Detective Curatola, being placed on indefinite leave of absence.
[27]
Esposito and CBS had been at odds over her limited availability for work after the actress was diagnosed with
celiac disease
. She had missed a week after collapsing on set earlier in the season. According to Esposito, CBS challenged her request for a reduced work schedule, and further, kept her from finding work elsewhere.
[27]
In a press release from CBS, the network said that Esposito had "informed us that she is only available to work on a very limited part-time schedule. As a result, she's unable to perform the demands of her role and we regretfully had to put her character on a leave of absence."
[27]
Esposito's last appearance in a "starring role" as Curatola was in the season three episode "Nightmares," though she did later reprise her role as a guest star in the final episode of season thirteen, "Forgive Us Our Trespasses", and appeared again in season fourteen.
According to
TV by the Numbers
, by committing itself to a
third season
of
Blue Bloods
, CBS all but guaranteed a
fourth season
,
[28]
because, as a
CBS Television Studios
production, CBS had a financial incentive to produce at least the minimum number of episodes needed for
stripped
syndication
.
[28]
On March 27, 2013, CBS made it official by renewing
Blue Bloods
for a fourth season to begin in the fall of 2013.
[29]

[6]
It was confirmed in May 2024 that the second half of the final season is scheduled to debut in October and the last episode will air in December.
[7]
In a February 2024 podcast interview,
Gregory Jbara
said it was possible the show could be extended to the spring 2025 season and beyond 300 episodes depending on viewership and initiative by
Tom Selleck
.
[38]
Fans started an initiative to save the show with a social media hashtag, a petition, a letter writing campaign and in person signs on location.
[39]
[40]
[41]
In interviews with CBS News in May 2024 during production of the second half of Season 14, Selleck said "I will continue to think that CBS will come to their senses" and that "all the cast wants to come back."
[42]
He also said that "when they choose to end it, I think is debatable."
[43]
He also told Entertainment Tonight "I'm gonna stay optimistic because everybody on the show wants to do it."
[44]
On June 4, 2024, Paramount Global co-CEO
Brian Robbins
said at a shareholder presentation that there were plans for a "franchise extension" of Blue Bloods.

In late 2014, the magazine
Slate
'
s Laura Hudson criticized the show downplaying or apologizing for systemic racism in law enforcement.
[60]
Similarly, in a 2022 episode of
Last Week Tonight

PAW Patrol
" and criticized it for perpetuating
the myth that police officers could overdose on fentanyl after merely touching it
, using clips from a 2017 episode of the show.
[61]
[62]
In 2017, Selleck was nominated for a People's Choice Award for Favorite TV Crime Drama Actor for his work on the show.
[63]
In 2011, Michael Hann, writing for
The Guardian
, panned the show by calling it "predictable", "trite" and "pisspoor".
[64]
The pilot episode garnered 15.258 million viewers because of the Live + 7 days after with viewings from DVRs. Without the DVR adding to the live viewing the show's debut episode garnered a total of 13.02 million viewers.
[65]
Overall, the ratings have been steady for the series, after the pilot episode. The lowest viewer total through the first seven seasons was 8.88 million in episode eight of season seven (which ran against Game 3 of the
