Renewing “Blue Bloods” for its 14th Season wasn’t as easy as many people may think. Although the show has tons of fans dying to know what will happen next, the team at “Blue Bloods” had to undergo serious financial negotiations for the 2023-2024 season. To keep the show going, much of the cast and some of the producers had to take a significant pay cut — 25%. These cuts aimed to contain production costs amid heightened financial scrutiny within the media industry.
That’s quite a big chunk of change taken away from the program’s top stars. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the show’s A-list star, Tom Selleck, reportedly earned $200 thousand per episode. If that amount was correct, he now makes $150 thousand per episode. That sounds like a fortune, right? But let’s be real — who wants to take a pay cut?

Still, Selleck has always been a big proponent for keeping the show going. In 2020, he shared with People, “I don’t think there is an end point. I think there is a lot of life in the show, as long as you let your characters grow and get older.” But despite Selleck being hopeful that the show would keep going and even taking a pay cut for “Blue Bloods,” the CBS show has announced its end.
