The CBS long-running procedural drama, Blue Bloods, has come to a crucial juncture in its fourteenth and last season. Fans looking forward to a new episode this week may have to resist their cravings as the show is currently on a short break. Rather, CBS is taking the time to reminisce about the phenomenal journey the show has made with an extraordinary retrospective.
And so this leaves fans wondering when the next upcoming episode will air and what they should expect from the show as it nears the end of its run.
Why is there no new episode this week?
CBS did not air a new episode of Blue Bloods on November 29, 2024; the reason, however, is a bit more celebratory than disappointing. Instead, CBS aired a special presentation titled Blue Bloods: Celebrating a Family Legacy, honoring the tradition of this beloved show.
The one-hour retrospective aired on November 29 at 9 p.m. EST. It featured interviews with the cast along with clips from past seasons and a sneak peek at the series finale. Such has been matched by a special airing of reruns from season 14 episodes before and after the above retrospective, which gives the viewer a night full of memories.
The timing of the hiatus coincided with the Thanksgiving Day weekend, a time when many viewers were busy getting rid of the holiday cobwebs, traveling back home, or shopping on Black Friday. The break was a moment to re-energize the cast and crew as they got ready for the final chapters of the series.
This smart scheduling keeps to a minimum scattered viewing for the remaining episodes.
When will Blue Bloods return?
The series returns to its usual schedule on Friday, December 6, 2024, with season 14, episode 17, which is entitled Entitlement. This episode, the penultimate one in the series, promises to be a vital one, intertwining its exciting plot lines with the grand final.
Officer Eddie Janko returns to duty with her partner, Badillo, and both will have to deal with a morally difficult case involving a squatter. Meanwhile, detectives Danny Reagan and Maria Baez are working on investigating a sad murder on a college campus, which could take a personal turn for the Reagan family.
While further information is still not revealed about the arcs of other characters, fans look forward to the major development in Frank Reagan and the ongoing feud with Mayor Chase, which is already the story behind Frank's last mission as the NYPD commissioner. The family Sunday dinner will probably be among the banners because it will surely include touching moments and reflections on their shared legacy.
End of Tour will be the last episode of the series on December 13, 2024, thus wrapping up the impressive 14 seasons. This is a very well-planned schedule so that the show ends in time and before Christmas for the upcoming CBS programming, including NCIS: Sydney, next year.

CBS has secured a final bow for Blue Bloods in what looks like a fitting send-off to the series. The retro special allows fans to relish how long this series has influenced culture. The rest of the episodes promise drama, emotion, and all the family values that have typified what it means to be a Reagan.
