Blue Bloods fans can still look forward to a big 14th season as the series finale. It has been announced that the final episodes could only be filmed due to salary cuts for those involved
It was recently announced that the upcoming 14th season of the crime series Blue Bloods – Crime Scene New York will mark the series finale. Fans can look forward to 18 new episodes, which will be broadcast in two parts. However, the last Blue Bloods season almost couldn’t be filmed. It was only made possible by salary cuts.
Blue Bloods stars took pay cuts for final season
As the Hollywood Reporter reported, the 14th season of Blue Bloods was only commissioned by broadcaster CBS after its biggest stars such as Tom Selleck and parts of the production team agreed to pay cuts of 25 percent. This was the only way that hundreds of other people involved in the Blue Bloods production could continue to be employed. The reason for this was the developments of the Hollywood double strike, which also placed a heavy financial burden on many TV productions.
The first 10 episodes of the final season of the crime series will start in the USA on February 16, 2024.
