After 14 season of starring on Blue Bloods, Tom Selleck doesn’t agree with CBS’ decision to cancel the beloved police procedural.
The network confirmed in November 2023 that the long-running police procedural will conclude with its 14th and final season, which will be split into two parts. However, Selleck, 79, told CBS News that he will “continue to think that CBS will come to their senses.”
“We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast,” he explained. “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!”

Selleck isn’t the only one who feels upset about the show’s cancellation.
In April, Bridget Moynahan and Donnie Wahlberg revealed they felt “more upset and sad” than “happy and satiated” during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show.
“I think it’s more saying goodbye to the people behind the characters,” Moynahan, 52, explained. “We’ve created such a family on set with each other and the crew — most of the crew’s been with us for 14 years, so we’ve been through a lot of weddings, births, deaths, and everything. We’ve been through it all with each other.”
After the CBS drama was renewed for a 14th season in March 2023, Wahlberg spoke to PEOPLE about the possibility of the series getting canceled without a proper ending — and why he didn’t want that for fans.
“I love Blue Bloods, and I think if there weren’t a season 14, the loyal fans of the show would be very, very outraged,” he noted of the series. “They’re part of the Reagan family. The audience is the extended family.”
At the time, Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter citing sources close to production, revealed that the renewal was made possible by the entire cast and producing team agreeing to take “a 25 percent pay cut” to enable the cost of production.
