Join the Reagans around the dinner table for one last helping of television history. After nearly 300 episodes, the immensely popular CBS police procedural Blue Bloods is coming to an end following its 14th season. And actor Tom Selleck has served as the family patriarch, Frank Reagan, every step of the way since the show debuted in September of 2010. Selleck addressed the series’ conclusion (per Deadline):

“For the past 13 years, it has been an honor and a privilege to work on a show that not only celebrates the men and women who protect and serve in New York City, but also displayed the importance of family. Working alongside these incredible actors, writers, producers, directors and crew has been a dream come true, and I’m grateful to have been a part of this extraordinary group for over 275 episodes. Thank you to CBS Studios and CBS Network for their steadfast support and we offer heartfelt gratitude to the fans who gathered with us for dinner every Friday night.”

Blue Bloods will leave behind an enduring legacy that was collectively achieved by our extraordinary cast, our talented and tirelessly inventive writers, and the best crew in the business.

CBS Studios and the CBS Television Network encouraged us to tell our stories in multi-layered narratives that have gone on to resonate with millions of people, and we thank them for their unwavering partnership and collaboration.
