Blue Bloods revolves around the Reagans, a family of cops who reside in New York. Originally Irish Catholics, the Reagan family is known for their service in the police and legal departments which has lingered for many decades. Frank Reagan stepped into his father’s big shoes as the New York Police Department Police Commissioner while his son, Danny is a detective in the police department. Jamie, the youngest son of the Reagan family, is an NYPD sergeant and a Harvard graduate.

Erin is the only daughter of the Reagan family who serves in law enforcement as the Assistant District Attorney.

Following the show’s cancellation in November 2023, pleas from fans to continue Blue Bloods fell on deaf ears. During a press conference, CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach reasserted that the show will come to a wrap in season 14. “All shows have to come to an end. It’s important to us to refresh the schedule. We are going to end the show come December,” she said.

Consequently, June 20, 2024, marked the last day of filming with Blue Bloods cast and fans sharing their thoughts.  Wahlberg, Ramirez, and Ray took to social media to pay tribute to the long-running show. While Ray shared a picture of the three hugging it out with the caption: “I love them so much it hurts,” Wahlberg went all out to thank everyone who worked on the show and the audiences who stayed devoted for over 14 years.

“Last day of Blue Bloods. Not sure I have the words to describe how I feel about today, or the last 14 years on this special Blue Bloods journey, but I do know how incredibly thankful I am for every moment of it. To the cast, the crew, the guest cast, every background actor, writer, producer, and every member of every single dept — thank you,” he captioned an Instagram video of him coming out of a tour bus.
