As rumors swirl about the potential cancellation of Blue Bloods after 14 seasons, the show’s lead actor, Donnie Wahlberg, is adding fuel to the speculation fire. While the initial reports suggested the beloved police drama’s conclusion, recent comments from Wahlberg and other cast members have left fans wondering if there might be a twist in the tale.
Wahlberg, who portrays Detective Danny Reagan since Season 1, has not categorically confirmed the show’s end. In a recent interview with Andy Cohen, Wahlberg shared intriguing thoughts that diverge from a definitive conclusion for the Reagan family. His sentiments align with those of fellow cast member Gregory Jbara, who expressed optimism about the show’s future on the Think Big Podcast.
Tom Selleck, another key figure in Blue Bloods, has also hinted that he’s not ready to bid farewell to the series. Earlier this year, Selleck stated that he’s “not counting the days” to move on and still enjoys the work. While there have been speculations regarding his comments being motivated by financial considerations, the uncertainty around the show’s fate remains.
The potential for Blue Bloods to earn another season is not entirely implausible, considering the show’s enduring popularity. The decision may hinge on viewership for the current season, deemed its send-off, and CBS’s willingness to greenlight additional episodes. As fans await the unfolding developments, Donnie Wahlberg, Tom Selleck, and the cast and crew continue to keep faith regarding the future of the “beloved” police drama.
Catch new episodes of Blue Bloods Fridays at 10 p.m. ET on CBS, part of the 2024 TV schedule. Season 14 installments are also available to Paramount+ subscribers. Stay tuned for further updates on the show’s fate.
