The End of an Era: CBS’s “Blue Bloods” Set to Conclude After 14 Years

The Reagan family is comprised of characters played by Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg and Bridget Moynahan, among others

Television will be looking a little different for CBS viewers by the end of the year, as its hit police procedural Blue Bloods is coming to an end after 14 years on the air.

The second part of the show’s 14th season, which is being regarded by some as a truncated 15th season, will begin airing on October 18, and the show will come to an end by December.

Bridget Moynahan, who stars as Tom Selleck’s character Frank Reagan daughter Erin Reagan, recently admitted to People that the show’s ending, due to it being canceled, has definitely left the cast “a little disappointed.”

“We’ve had such a good time. We all want to be there. It’s a real loss,” she said, adding: “This was our daily lives for 14 years. We’ve all experienced major life moments together, whether it’s births, deaths, marriages, divorces, illnesses, we’ve had it all together.”

Before saying goodbye to the Reagan family for good, get to know the characters behind them, and what projects they might have coming up next.
