Despite the show’s success, there had been some concern regarding Blue Bloods‘ fate after the series was missing from CBS’ list of drama series renewals last month. At the time, it was reported that the show was tied up in difficult negotiations, with the latest report from Deadline suggesting that the cast and key producers reportedly took pay cuts to keep the show alive. While CBS did not confirm that report, CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach praised the show in a statement, noting that “viewers continue to embrace the Reagans, their law enforcement family, and the series’ dramatic storytelling. We can’t wait to pull a chair up to the Reagan family dinner table for another fantastic season.” Keep scrolling to see how fans are celebrating the Season 14 renewal.
