With news of the ongoing actors’ and writers’ strikes, it’s no surprise that our favorite shows will be delayed. CBS shared their fall 2023 lineup, and the information about police drama Blue Bloods was telling.
The Reagan family series has been confirmed to return for a remarkable 14th season (and some of the show’s stars took pay cuts to ensure its future), but it will not be on the CBS fall schedule as planned. Rather, the network will air “classic” Blue Bloods episodes. In other words, reruns.
CBS announced their full slate of programming, and, with no new shows to air, they’ve had to get creative to fill the time slots (including airing Paramount Network series Yellowstone on Sunday nights). But for Blue Bloods fans, Friday night is key. CBS will be airing game shows The Price is Right at Night, Let’s Make a Deal, and Raid the Cage, followed by “classic episodes” of Blue Bloods. The network did not explain what episodes from the show’s 13 seasons it will be airing.
Back in April, Donnie Wahlberg shared an emotional video from the final day of shooting season 13 and told fans they’d be back in July to resume filming. That was before the writers’ strike began. Now, the show’s return date is uncertain as filming cannot begin while the strikes continue.
Stay tuned for updates on the return of Blue Bloods and other favorite shows. In the meantime, you can rewatch all 13 seasons on Paramount+.
