A new behind-the-scenes look at the Blue Bloods finale teases a major event that could end the series on an unforgettable note. Although CBS confirmed that Season 14 will be the final season, fans are still holding out hope for an extension. The network announced earlier this year that the series would conclude with eight more episodes in the fall, leading up to a December finale.
In these last episodes, we’ve seen big moments unfold—Eddie and Jamie consider starting a family, and Frank faces ongoing tensions with Mayor Chase. While producers haven’t teased a grand, shocking finale, a recent Instagram post by Donnie Wahlberg has fans guessing about the significance of the upcoming scenes.
The post shows Wahlberg in full dress blues, sharing emotional reflections on his final day of filming. Other cast members, including Will Estes, Vanessa Ray, and Will Hochman, are also seen in uniform, hinting at a special event. Additionally, Bridget Moynahan, Sami Gayle, and Tony and Andrew Terraciano are dressed formally, suggesting the Reagans are gathering for an important ceremony.
Showrunner Kevin Wade told TVLine, “They’re only in dress blues for certain kinds of ceremonies. There’s a rather large set piece toward the end of the final episode.”
What this event entails remains a mystery. Some fans speculate that Frank, played by Tom Selleck, may be stepping down as NYPD Commissioner, while others think it could involve a promotion for a key character, perhaps Eddie or Joe Hill. Another possibility is an NYPD anniversary event, marking an occasion where the Reagan family would appear in uniform to honor tradition.
Regardless of the details, the finale is set to give fans a memorable sendoff, capturing the spirit of the Reagan family one last time. Blue Bloods airs Fridays at 10/9c on CBS.
