Blue Bloods cast: Meet the characters
The long-running police drama is packed with recognisable faces.
Blue Bloods season 14 has finally landed in the UK, following a seven-month wait for the final chapter in the Reagan family's story.
Indeed, the long-running crime drama kicked off its concluding run back in February in the US, with fans – and star Tom Selleck – still reeling over the shock decision to end the show at this moment.
The moustachioed Friends and Magnum PI actor has made several public statements about the future of Blue Bloods, including that he hopes broadcaster CBS "come to their senses" over their decision to end it while ratings remain strong.
"We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast," he told CBS News in May. "We’re winning the night. All the cast wants to come back. And I can tell you this: we aren’t sliding off down a cliff.
"We’re doing good shows, and still holding our place. So, I don’t know. You tell me!"
Alas, the network held firm on their decision and it looks as if Blue Bloods will indeed be bowing out after these final 18 episodes, with co-star Donnie Wahlberg paying tribute to his "special" journey with the show via Instagram in July.
