"Blue Bloods series finale wraps up 14 seasons with emotional family ties and new challenges"

The series finale of "Blue Bloods," titled "End of Tour," aired on December 14, 2024. The episode features NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan, played by Tom Selleck, taking charge as gangs threaten the city. The finale wraps up 14 seasons without killing off any main characters, focusing instead on emotional connections and family dynamics. Season 14 was split into two parts, concluding with this episode after a delay due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. The finale includes significant developments for the Reagan family, such as new relationships and a major gang conflict, while maintaining the show's character-driven storytelling. Showrunner Kevin Wade emphasized that the finale aimed to deliver a satisfying conclusion without an agenda. He noted the importance of leaving the audience with a sense of imagination for the characters' futures, rather than a definitive ending.
