Blue Bloods Season 14 Part 2 New Cast & Returning Character Guide

Several characters are returning for part 2 of Blue Bloods‘ final season 14, even as new ones are added. The Tom Selleck-led police and family drama is a fan favorite in part because of the dedicated cast that has enthusiastically returned year after year as members of the Reagan family. Most of Blue Bloods’ best characters are again returning for season 14B, which begins on October 18, 2024, @ 10 PM EST on CBS. Several characters are also returning for the series finale.

CBS has decided to cancel Blue Bloods despite its popularity, leading to massive fan protests that have not moved the needle. However, there are still eight episodes of Blue Bloods left before the series ends, and these episodes will introduce new guest stars and recurring characters as well as feature members of the Reagan family that are no longer with the series regularly. Additionally, most of Blue Bloods’ large cast will be featured, although some may have bigger parts than others.
