Blue Bloods, the popular cop drama, has been renewed for the 2023-2024 season, making it the 14th installment of the series. Fans of the show can rejoice as many of the original cast members, including Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, and Will Estes, will be returning. The showrunner, Kevin Wade, and his production team are also back on board.
The renewal of Blue Bloods, however, was not without its challenges. CBS had initially left the show off its list of renewals, causing concern in the entertainment industry. Difficult negotiations involving significant budget cuts were the reason behind the delay. CBS had pushed for a 25% reduction in pay for above-the-line talent, such as actors. In the end, the cast and producers agreed to the pay cuts, allowing the show to continue and ensuring the employment of hundreds of crew members.
Blue Bloods has been a consistent success for CBS, dominating Friday nights with its compelling storytelling and outstanding cast. Amy Reisenbach, President of CBS Entertainment, expressed excitement for another season, saying that viewers continue to embrace the Reagans and their law enforcement family.
This Friday, fans can look forward to a new episode titled "The Naked Truth." The episode will feature gripping storylines involving drug fronts, accusations, and biases, further highlighting the drama and tension that has made Blue Bloods a hit. With consistently high viewership and a strong presence on platforms like Paramount+ and Netflix, Blue Bloods is a force to be reckoned with in the world of television.
