Blue Bloods Immediately Ended After This Happened Behind The Scenes
Blue Bloods captivated audiences worldwide with its gripping portrayal of the Reagan family’s dedication to New York City law enforcement. With a stellar cast and crew, it seemed like everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. However, to the surprise of many, there were numerous unexpected twists and challenges. Who would have guessed that the show was almost filmed in Toronto or that Jennifer Esposito made headlines after her controversial firing? Get ready to be amazed as we unveil the most shocking behind the scenes facts about Blue Bloods that you never knew. But, before we delve right into these details, let’s trace it back to the show’s early beginnings and storyline.

For more than half a year, Blue Bloods’ ending has felt really abstract. Like it’s something that we all know –well everyone but Tom Selleck knows – is happening, but it’s so far away still that it hasn’t really computed for me. That all changed when Donnie Wahlberg dropped one bombshell post: a touching video and message for the fans as the Season 14 finale finally, officially wrapped.
It’s not uncommon for stars of long-running shows to share footage from the last day of filming, particularly when it’s a series ender and not a season ender. The cast of Modern Family had a lot of sentimental posts when that comedy was filming its final episodes, for example. Now that Blue Bloods is saying goodbye, Donnie Wahlberg also shared a sweet post from the set, showing up after a stint with New Kids on the Block to film the end of his procedural drama. He also thanked the fans, the cast and crew, and particularly the NYPD for their support during the CBS show’s run. You can check out what he had to say, below

Now, in the midst of June when most shows are on hiatus, the CBS drama is wrapping up, yet we have to wait until the fall to see those episodes? The whole thing has felt elongated.
I’m not complaining, to be clear. I get that the show is filming between NKOTB shows and letting Tom Selleck have time on his avocado ranch. It even makes sense the drama would continue filming even after the spring finale given the shortened season in the fall, but as the one commenter noted it’s easy to feel “denial” over the end being nigh.
At the end of the day, it’s really nice CBS is giving this show a proper sendoff, particularly when a slew of 2024 shows were canceled by the network in the spring. I’m sure the likes of NCIS: Hawai’i and So Help Me Todd would have loved the chance to say goodbye. So, on the one hand I feel grateful we are even able to have this post from Donnie Wahlberg. But on the other hand, the feelings I’m dealing with about the show ending are hard to explain. You know that moment of anticipation before a bandaid gets ripped off? It’s like I’m stuck with that feeling, only the tug never seems to come. I think it will probably feel that way until the fall 2024 TV premieres hit the schedule.
