The cancellation of “Blue Bloods” is undoubtedly disappointing for fans who have been following the Reagan family’s exploits since 2010.

The show has continuously been a top performer for CBS and has been a hit on Paramount+.

Though the cop program has always been a successful CBS offering, the network wanted to save money for Season 14, which is now slated to be its final.

It was claimed earlier this year that CBS would be interested in Season 14 if considerable budget savings were made.

Salary cutbacks of up to 25% were purportedly implemented for major actors and producers. With a smaller budget, the network opted to go forward with the fourteenth season of the show.

According to Deadline, the decision to make Season 14 the final “Blue Bloods” chapter was made when the SAG-AFTRA strike ended in early November. CBS is also canceling “Young Sheldon,” its beloved “The Big Bang Theory” prequel/spin-off.

While fans may be frustrated that “Blue Bloods” has been compelled to include the badge, there is something to be said for the series receiving a final season, which most shows don’t get these days.

With the announcement, series star Tom Selleck issued a statement bidding goodbye to both fans and the creative forces behind the CBS series.

“Working with these wonderful actors, writers, producers, directors, and crew has been a dream come true for the actor, and he is thrilled to have been a part of this extraordinary ensemble for over 275 episodes,” he said.
