In December 2023, CBS announced that Blue Bloods would end with Season 14, and ever since then, lead star Tom Selleck has been waging a one-man war with the network in an attempt to save his iconic series. Admittedly, one of the main reasons Selleck needs Blue Bloods to continue is to keep his main source of income.
But just how much does that source amount to for Selleck per year — and how much has he earned from Blue Bloods throughout all 14 seasons?
Selleck Has Made a Fortune from Blue Bloods
Ever since 2016, it’s been well-known that Tom Selleck’s Blue Bloods salary was $200k per episode. This is a staggering amount of money on its own, but it gets better once we start multiplying. An average Blue Bloods season is 22 episodes long, so we’re looking at $4.4M per season which translates to “per year.”

For all the Blue Bloods fans who haven’t been content with the lack of serious stakes and tension in the show lately, its behind-the-scenes drama should provide more than enough of both.
As CBS is adamant about ending Blue Bloods with Season 14, lead star Tom Selleck is equally hellbent on keeping it going — and so far, it doesn’t look like either party will be willing to back down.
Tom Selleck Won’t Give Up: ‘Tell Your Friends’
While not the only cast member who’s been vocal about the cancellation lately, Tom Selleck has definitely been the most active protester of the network’s decision. The lead star has been going live about it on every opportunity, criticizing CBS for canceling Blue Bloods and claiming that he won’t rest until renewed once again.
Months go by, and Tom Selleck is still on the grind to save his iconic series.

Tom Selleck played Police Commissioner Frank Reagan for 275 episodes of Blue Bloods over 14 seasons. He was one of the highest-paid actors in the series, but his recent comments about his potential financial woes after the end of the series raise several eyebrows. Selleck wants CBS to reconsider its decision to cancel the police procedural drama. However, an insider shared that the network wasn’t buying the actor’s financial situation.

From 2010 to now, Blue Bloods has entertained viewers with its epic police drama storyline on CBS. Featuring the lives of the Reagan family, all members of law enforcement, the series stars Tom Selleck in the lead. Although the ratings of the show have somewhat plummeted in the last few years with each subsequent season, Blue Bloods is still among the top shows of all time.

Tom Selleck’s time on Blue Bloods is coming to an end. That means the actor, 79, will have to say goodbye to the hefty paychecks he’s received for playing top cop Frank Reagan on the CBS drama.
Selleck has made it clear that he isn’t ready to retire and thinks the network should reconsider its decision to cancel Blue Bloods. But insiders say he should quit griping, considering that he’s likely made millions over the show’s 14-year run.
Tom Selleck earned an estimated $200,000 per episode for ‘Blue Bloods’
Tom Selleck’s exact Blue Bloods salary isn’t known. But it’s safe to say it’s not chump change. Back in 2016, Variety estimated that he earned $200,000 per episode, which works out to $4.4 million per 22-episode season. Over 14 seasons, that adds up to total earnings in the tens of millions.
Despite those impressive earnings, Selleck has hinted...

When is the Blue Bloods series finale? That’s a question on Blue Bloods fans’ minds as the summer hiatus begins.
Season 14 is the final season of the hit CBS cop drama.
Although Blue Bloods fans are doing everything they can to have the show continue.
The cast, too, has been vocal about wanting more Blue Bloods, especially Tom Selleck, who recently admitted he strongly feels CBS will change their minds.
However, CBS has all but said the show won’t be getting a second lease on life like S.W.A.T. did.
In preparation for Blue Bloods ending soon, let’s review what we know about the series finale.

In December 2023, CBS announced that Season 14 would be the finale of Blue Bloods, and that wasn’t a popular decision at all. On the fans’ side, there have been #SaveBlueBloods petitions and campaigns; on the cast’s part, no one has been more vocal about the absolute necessity of the show’s continuation as Tom Selleck.
Apparently, CBS bosses find the lead actor’s pleas extremely infuriating — and for a good reason, as much as it pains us to say it. Here’s what an inside source revealed.
Selleck’s ‘Poverty’ Claims Impressed No One
While a large part of Tom Selleck’s one-man war with CBS is focused on how important the show is for the Blue Bloods cast, crew, and fans, there’s another thing he’s been very vocal about lately: money. According to the actor, the show’s cancellation could render him broke — and unable to maintain his favorite ranch.

Tom Selleck’s Frank Reagan is the classic blend of on- and off-screen patriarch of his TV show. Having been sitting in the Commissioner’s chair since Blue Bloods Season 1, Frank has been a wize and competent leader of the NY cops throughout the seasons — but the show is drawing to the conclusion, and so is his career.
There’s been a lot of foreshadowing of Frank’s retirement in the past episodes, and it only makes sense that he replaces Henry as the “stay-at-home patriarch.” Right?..
Blue Bloods Boss Denies Frank’s Retirement
We’ve been all led to believe that Frank Reagan won’t stay on the Commissioner’s post by the end of Season 14. From his subtle comments to his seemingly seeking reconciliation with the Mayor at one point, it has surely been looking as if Frank was getting his business in order before passing the position to his successor.

CBS canceled a lot of popular shows this season. They canceled Blue Bloods, NCIS: Hawai’i, and CSI: Vegas. They also announced they will bring back S.W.A.T., but only for one more season. The reason the network execs gave was that they wanted to “freshen” things up and hope viewers would like the new shows replacing the beloved canceled series.
One way to do that is by adding in another franchise show, but this one will be very different from everything that came before. CSI: Miami is coming back in a new format.
CBS Bringing Back CSI: Miami As A Different Show
CBS has offered up some replacements for the departing shows, but it remains to be seen if fans care enough to buy into the new ones. For example, NCIS: Hawai’i is going away, but a show called NCIS: Origins is replacing it. For Blue Bloods, CBS is bringing in...

Blue Bloods isn’t interested in reinventing the wheel in its final season. Showrunner Kevin Wade tells TV Insider that just like in Season 14 Part 1 and its finale, which aired on Friday, May 17 on CBS, Blue Bloods‘ final episodes will be reliably familiar territory, but it will always aim to entertain its loyal viewers. There are dramatic turns they’re interested in exploring, like the bail reform plot line and Aidan Quinn‘s violent reaction to it in the midseason finale, but one thing that’s not likely to happen when the show returns is a Danny and Baez romance. Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Baez (Marisa Ramirez) had the heavy task of reining in Quinn’s Det.

The already iconic police procedural Blue Bloods is coming to an end. This is an excellent opportunity to remember other TV shows about law enforcement officers – both bad cops and real detectives.
1. The Sommerdahl Murders, 2020-...
The action takes place in the coastal town of Helsingor. The series tells the story of Dan and Marianne Sommerdahl, who work together as police officers. The man has a best friend – Flemming Torp. His help in investigating crimes can hardly be overestimated, as well as in the collapse of the Sommerdahl relationship.
Flemming and Marianne, who is disappointed in her constantly busy husband, become closer faster than Dan can solve a new case. But police work cannot be distracted by family drama, and the trio must work together for the sake of the rule of law.
The Sommerdahl Murders is based on the books by the popular Danish crime writer Anna Grue. But unlike the literary source,...

This year, several television shows have been canceled much to the chagrin of fans. Several of them were popular shows that still got good ratings. However, some of them also didn’t get proper endings. An example is CSI: Vegas, which will end with several cliffhangers. Another show this happened to was So Help Me Todd.
Fans have lashed out at the network about the show’s ending and here is what you need to know.
So Help Me Todd Ends Series With Cliffhanger
When CBS explained why it was canceling shows like Blue Bloods, the network said it needed to “freshen up” the schedule by adding new shows. That means some fan-favorite shows had to end. However, they also said that they wanted to allow the shows to end on notes that ended the stories.

Tom Selleck isn’t happy that CBS canceled Blue Bloods. He insisted the show was still a ratings juggernaut and the cancelation makes no sense. However, that might change if Selleck has his way. With the season finale coming up, Tom says he is “optimistic” about the show’s future, despite its cancelation.
Here is what Tom had to say about his show’s possible future.
Tom Selleck Optimistic About Blue Bloods Future
Despite CBS canceling it, Tom Selleck said he is not giving up hope in Blue Bloods’ return to television. Selleck plays patriarch Frank Reagan on the hit police procedural series. However, when CBS announced the show would end after Season 14, split into two parts, Selleck and other cast members were unhappy with the decision.
“I will continue to think that CBS will come to their senses,” Selleck said when asked about the show’s future on CBS Sunday Morning.

Frank Reagan doesn't believe that cops should receive special treatment when they break the law, but Danny and Sid apparently do.
On Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 10, they spent most of the hour searching for a rogue cop running around threatening court officers with his gun because he was upset that a perp had been set free.
A tense ending sequence had the cop threaten to shoot himself, only to put his gun down and leave with Danny -- then somehow escape while Danny and Sid decided not to bother to search further. What the heck?
The Aidan Quinn Story's Ending Was Disappointing
Blue Bloods has always been pro-cop, but it's never been pro-criminal. Frank emphasizes constantly that bad cops make the entire department look bad and need to be weeded out.
Danny said that Vanderlip didn't want to cross Frank and had better cooperate -- so what happened after that?...
On Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 10, they spent most of the hour searching for a rogue cop running around threatening court officers with his gun because he was upset that a perp had been set free.
A tense ending sequence had the cop threaten to shoot himself, only to put his gun down and leave with Danny -- then somehow escape while Danny and Sid decided not to bother to search further. What the heck?

Spoiler Alert: This story contains details of tonight’s Blue Bloods Season 14 midseason finale, which is the close of the first part of the NYPD family drama’s final season.
“Father, forgive me for I have sinned,” says New York Police commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) in church in tonight’s Blue Bloods last midseason finale as he tries to repair a rift with his actual father, the former NYPD commissioner Henry Reagan (Len Cariou).
It ain’t the Sunday dinner that defines the well-watched CBS series, but it certainly was a moment of affirmation for perspicacious fans who may be speculating where their show is going to go in its final episodes after a long long run. Put another way, Blue Bloods may be ending later this year, but you’d never know it from the Season 14 midseason finale that aired tonight.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for the Blue Bloods Season 14 Part 1 finale, “The Heart of a Saturday Night.”] Blue Bloods ended its Season 14 midseason finale on its usual positive note at the weekly Reagan family dinner. With Season 14 Part 1 now in the rearview mirror, showrunner Kevin Wade is giving a glimpse into what to expect in the final episodes set to premiere this fall on CBS, and he doesn’t think it’s likely that they’ll make Tom Selleck‘s Frank Reagan retire from his position as police commissioner. Some characters this season, like the mayor, have hinted at a desire for a new commissioner, raising questions about whether Frank is going to stay in the job that defines his life. Even when he has difficult days like in Season 14 Episode 10, which showed Frank and his father (Len Cariou) at uncomfortable odds over a deceased cop’s use of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, Frank doesn’t...

Grey’s Anatomy is no stranger to losing major cast members. In recent years, it even lost the character the show is named after, although Meredith Grey at least returns occasionally for guest appearances. However, the end of the current season will see two characters leaving the show.
Here is a look at the news on the latest Grey’s Anatomy character exit.
Grey’s Anatomy Losing Two Cast Members

Jake plays Levi Schmitt and has been a regular cast member for five years and appeared on the show for seven seasons now.

Blue Bloods Season 14 spring finale has arrived, marking the halfway point for the final season of the hit CBS show.
However, Tom Selleck, who plays Frank Reagan isn’t giving up hope that Blue Bloods will continue past this season.
CBS announced in November that Blue Bloods would end after Season 14, airing in two parts.
The cast has been more than vocal about wanting to keep the show going, especially Donnie Wahlberg.
Despite reports that CBS has confirmed Blue Bloods won’t get a lifeline like S.W.A.T. did, Tom isn’t convinced.
The talented actor had a lot to say about the show he’s called home since 2010.

Exclusive: More ensemble drama series are reducing the number of episodes cast members are in as a way to save money. The series regulars on CBS’ FBI and FBI: Most Wanted will have their minimum guarantees trimmed by 2 episodes next season, Deadline has learned. The third FBI series, FBI: International, is not impacted, I hear. Reps for FBI producers Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television declined comment.
As Deadline reported exclusively this week, veteran cast members on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy also are getting their episodes cut next season by 3-4 in a cost-saving measure.
The move for the two FBI series mirrors the episodic guarantees reductions applied to Wolf/Uni TV’s Chicago and Law & Order dramas a year ago. The timing makes sense as such talent cost-cutting usually follows a renewal that nowadays comes with a flat or reduced license fee.
The six NBC dramas were up for renewal last year,...

Voiceover actor Paul Skye Lehrman was at his friend’s house in 2022 when a YouTube video was pulled up from a channel called Military News about Russia’s advance into Ukraine. He immediately recognized the voice as his own, though he never contracted with the channel operator for use of his likeness.
“It was my voice dictating the conflict and talking about weapons,” Lehrman says. “These are words I never said.”
A year later, he was on his way to a doctor’s appointment when he says he again stumbled upon his voice in a podcast about Hollywood’s dual strikes in which a generative artificial intelligence text-to-speech tool was used to answers questions about the dangers of the technology. That’s when he and his wife Linnea Sage, also a voiceover actor who suspects her voice was stolen in a similar manner, reached out to an attorney.

Blue Bloods has been on air since 2010, but in December 2023, CBS announced that the then upcoming Season 14 would be the TV show’s finale. Both fans and stars of the show took the news poorly, with the former launching petitions to prevent their favorite series’ cancellation, and the latter defending the show in interviews and public appearances.
Tom Selleck has been especially vocal trying to save Blue Bloods lately, but now the star actor confirms: there will be a Season 15, after all. It’s just a matter of definition.

It should be business as usual for the 2024-2025 season, with a mix of returning and new shows in the networks’ primetime lineup. As always, there are dramas, comedies, animated series, and unscripted shows filling the time slots. There are some changes. CBS once again has back-to-back NCIS shows, but it’s the new prequel Origins, taking over Hawai’i‘s timeslot following the spinoff’s cancellation. CBS is also going with what it knows works, with the Young Sheldon spinoff, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, taking over the franchise’s Thursday night slot. The network will also be airing the final episodes of Blue Bloods this fall. And Fox shocked fans by moving Family Guy to midseason for the first time since 2005.

Canceling the show in its prime is one thing, and while it may be hard for voters to understand the logic behind CBS's decision, they have learned to accept the truth. However, all the confusion that the promotion is now causing the beleaguered fandom is something that could have been avoided.
Those who saw the ad for the 10th episode of season 14 may have expected it to be the final episode of the season, as well as the entire series. But will there be a Season 15? And when will Blue Bloods end? Here's what we know so far.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host Jimmy Kimmel once again shared the Disney upfronts stage on Tuesday, providing his zingers in person for advertisers and media buyers at the programming presentation for the first time in five years. That’s because last year Kimmel didn’t attend due to the Hollywood WGA strikes. And in 2022, he was in New York — but had to be beamed in to do his routine after testing positive for Covid. (The 2021 and 2020 upfronts were virtual because of the pandemic.)
“Two years ago, I couldn’t be here in person because I had Covid. And last year, I couldn’t be here because of the writer’s strike. And this year I couldn’t think of a third excuse,” Kimmel said. “I tried diarrhea on the plane, but I guess they get that all the time now.”

After a two-year absence from the upfront stage, Jimmy Kimmel was back Tuesday to take aim at Bob Iger, P Diddy, CBS and the new Golden Bachelorette.
Introduced by Kerry Washington — who he said was the “last decent lead-in I ever had” — Kimmel had fun with an artificial version of Bob Iger on screen and another version of the Golden Bachelor franchise called The Golden Retriever: Love is a Bitch.
Here’s his monologue:
“Let’s hear it for all the talented stars who were forced to come here today because of a clause in their contract their agents didn’t bother to read. I am glad you’re all inside. I heard Amazon left you guys out on the porch. You’re lucky you didn’t get stolen.”

Jimmy Kimmel rarely holds back during his annual monologue to Disney advertisers, but this year he was particularly brutal about the state of the business.
The ABC late-night host laid into CEO Bob Iger, the Golden Bachelor, streaming bundles, Star Wars, Elon Musk and many other topics.
Here were some of his best — and most cutting — jokes to the Madison Avenue audience:
— “Golden Bachelor is a key part of our strategy to steal CBS’ viewers by putting them in a house together. We’re now launching the Golden Bachelorette, a game show where you can win an old lady. Joan is our new Golden Bachelorette. She has four kids and two grandchildren. Are the grandkids ready to see grandma get raw-dogged in a jacuzzi?”

The good news is that Blue Bloods is all set for an exciting season midseason finale.
CBS is billing the eight episodes airing in the fall as the second half of Season 14, though Tom Selleck said in an interview that he considers them a shortened Season 15 that he hopes will be extended til May, and promos are calling this the season finale.
Either way, this final episode before the summer hiatus promises the action, heart, and family drama that keeps viewers coming back year after year. But will the knowledge that there are only eight episodes left ruin the experience?
The last few episodes leading up to the end of a series are always bittersweet. The higher the quality, the harder it is to accept that the series is almost over.

Exclusive: Jake Borelli will be departing ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy after seven years on the show, including being a series regular for the past five seasons, Deadline has learned. According to sources, Borelli is in negotiations to return next season for several episodes to wrap up the story of his character, Levi Schmitt.
Amid overall decline in linear ratings, it has become common practice for broadcast networks to ask for financial concessions on long-running series, which naturally become pricier as they age. As a high-end drama series headed into its 21st season with a large cast, most of whom have been on the show for years, Grey’s is expensive. I hear its renewal — like many other broadcast shows’ these days — came with a budget cut.
That is impacting the cast, with established stars faced with a reduction of their episodic guarantees, which means that they may be in fewer episodes next year,...

Cancelations suck, and the 2024 season has been particularly brutal.
Long-running favorites such as Station 19, Blue Bloods, and Young Sheldon are going off the air, leaving fans brokenhearted -- and actors out of a steady gig.
Sometimes, actors land a new gig right away, and other times, they struggle to find new work. The cancellations were recently announced, so not everyone has had the opportunity to move on to a new project yet, but there are some interesting things in the works.
Having a Long-Running Series is a Double-Edged Sword
When actors land a gig that lasts for half a decade or more, they're guaranteed work for as long as the series lasts.
That allows them to become household names but also can make it harder for them to get new jobs in the future. For example, Henry Winkler was so associated with The Fonz that when Happy Days ended,...

In interviews Tom Selleck has repeatedly said that despite the fact that he was a movie fan, he never dreamed of becoming an actor. It is known that in his teenage years the future actor devoted himself entirely to sports – basketball and athletics.
Tom Selleck Couldn't Even Dream of Becoming an Actor
Tom went to Los Angeles Valley College to live with his family and not spend extra money. During his junior year, Selleck transferred to the University of Southern California on a basketball scholarship.
One of his teachers advised him to try his hand at acting, so Tom dropped out of college his senior year and threw himself into studying the basics of acting. At the time, he was also working as a model, which is how he got noticed.

Tom Selleck’s life is about to change. Blue Bloods will air its final episode sometime this fall after 14 seasons on the air.
Though the show’s cast has strongly hinted that they’d love to return for another season, CBS is holding firm in its decision to cancel the cop drama. That puts Selleck in a tough position financially, he admitted in a recent interview.

There have been a lot of tough cancelations this month for the 2024-25 television seasons. Networks canceled beloved shows with big ratings, including shockers like Blue Bloods. Other shows were canceled with smaller viewer numbers, but in what were still favorites.
One of the shows that ABC has canceled falls into the latter category. Some fans argue it is causing an even bigger lack of diversity in an already generic TV schedule.
ABC Cancels Popular Latino-Led Sitcom
In a disappointing move, ABC canceled one of its most popular sitcoms. The network has announced that they canceled Not Dead Yet after two seasons on the air. This is an interesting move since the sitcom was the most-watched comedy on ABC in four years. However, the numbers dropped in Season 2 and ABC pulled the plug.

Blue Bloods fans shouldn’t count on CBS changing its mind about the future of the cop drama. Last fall, the network announced that the show would end after a two-part 14th season. Despite hints from the cast that they’d be happy to see the series continue, there’s little chance that the cancellation will be reversed, an exec recently said.
‘Blue Bloods’ will get ‘the sendoff it deserves’
CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach addressed the potential for Blue Bloods being un-canceled during a press conference on May 2.
“We really want to thank the cast and crew, everyone involved in the show,” she said, according to Deadline. “We absolutely will miss the family dinners. It is important to give the show the sendoff it deserves.”
However, unlike S.W.A.T., which got a surprise season 8 renewal after being canceled last fall, there’s no chance of an 11th-hour save for the Tom Selleck show.
‘Blue Bloods’ will get ‘the sendoff it deserves’
CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach addressed the potential for Blue Bloods being un-canceled during a press conference on May 2.

Blue Bloods gets better and better. The closer this series gets to the end, the more heartbreaking it is that it's leaving the airwaves.
Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 9 featured an innocent man paying a steep price when Erin called out his lawyer's misconduct, Eddie dealing with a case that seemed to belong in an advice column, and Sean trying to handle the aftermath of a mugging on his own.
Even the Jamie/Joe story, which looked silly in the spoiler video, was must-see TV.
Danny's Story Was Exactly What I Expected
Almost all the predictions in the Blue Bloods Season 4 Episode 9 spoiler post about Sean and Danny were correct, but that's not because the writing was bad.
It was almost inevitable that Sean would feel he shouldn't have become a victim because he comes from a family of cops or wonder what Danny would have done.
If Linda were alive,...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 9, “Two of a Kind.”] Blue Bloods is one episode away from its Season 14 midseason finale, and the Friday, May 10, episode opted to end on a happy note with the Reagan family ahead of its upcoming break. The main plot of the episode focused on Danny’s (Donnie Wahlberg) son, Sean (Andrew Terraciano), who was robbed on his college campus. Danny was shocked to find out about the burglary (the assailant stole Sean’s backpack containing his wallet and laptop) at work instead of directly from his son. Sean was scared to admit that the guy got away instead of fending him off himself like his family of cops might. Naturally, Danny wanted his son protected, so he reminded him that stolen items are better than personal injury — or worse. Sean wanted to be a hero like his family members.

In Tom Selleck’s recently released memoir, You Never Know (via Business Insider), he reveals how he gave the crew of Magnum P.I. bonuses of $1000 after the studio refused.
Tom Selleck was in the process of renegotiating his contract with CBS for what would be the eighth and final season of Magnum P.I. The studio had decreased the budget of the series, but Selleck wanted them to agree to an eight-day schedule as well as a bonus for the crew if they were able to deliver under budget. “The studio said yes to the eight days. But they responded that they could not under any circumstances talk about crew bonuses, that it would set a dangerous precedent,” Selleck said. “They always invoked precedent when you had an original thought beyond their contractual boilerplate. Honestly, that pissed me off.“
