"Blue Bloods" Mid-Season Finale Airing May 17

Despite pleas from cast members and fans alike, "Blue Bloods" will come to an end later this year. The long-running drama about a family of law enforcement officials has been the linchpin of CBS's Friday night programming since 2010. Its 14th season is airing in two parts, and next Friday CBS will air the mid-season finale. Eight additional episodes will air in the fall to bring the show's total episode count to 293. Broadway Stages has proudly been there since day one, 14 years and nearly 300 family dinners ago.

The mid-season finale titled "The Heart of a Saturday Night" will include a guest appearance from Aidan Quinn ("Elementary"). The veteran actor will play a determined detective who crosses paths with Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Gormley (Robert Clohessy).

First up, however, is this Friday's episode "Two of a Kind" in which Frank (Tom Selleck) is furious to learn that Jamie (Will Estes) and his grandson Joe Hill (Will Hochman) were caught on video brawling in public. CBS also reports that in this week's episode, Danny will investigate when Sean (Andrew Terraciano) becomes the latest victim in a series of robberies on his college campus. Erin (Bridget Moynahan) is growing suspicious that an overworked attorney might not be acting in his client's best interest.

If you need to catch up before the mid-season finale, you can watch all episodes on Paramount+. We are so proud of the cast and crew for all of their hard work over the last 14 years.
