Blue Bloods season 14 comes to an end on May 17 – and it looks like things are going to get rough for Donnie Wahlberg's Danny Reagan.
A new trailer post for the finale showed Danny getting attacked by Detective Gus Vanderlip, as he stands in the way of the detective and a sex offender. The case will see the team "race to find Gus Vanderlip, a committed detective who is dangerously determined to uncover how a rapist he arrested is back on the streets".
A sneak peek, later shared by CBS and which you can watch below, reveals things get physical when Vanderlip attempts to attack the rapist, who he had charged only two weeks prior, and Danny gets in the middle. Elsewhere, Jamie and wife Eddie will be sent on an undercover mission on the eve of their anniversary.
The season finale was originally the end of part one, but star Tom Selleck confirmed that instead the following eight episodes that are set to air in Fall 2024 will be the 15th season.
"They announced this was gonna be our last season. I think CBS will come to their senses. But what people don't realize is, we're gonna do a 15th season," explained Tom.
"We're doing a 10-show season, like all the other shows because of the strike, for the 14th season. And we'll do eight shows in the fall, the premier of our 15th season."
"My hope is CBS wakes up to the fact that we're still winning the night on Friday night and performing on Paramount Plus," added the star.
The show was canceled in 2023 and its stars including Tom and Donnie have been outspoken in their frustrations.

Following Tom's criticism of the network, Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach was forced to acknowledge the cast's personal pleas to keep Blue Bloods going. Speaking at a press conference in May, she said: "We love this cast, we love their passion for the show. All shows have to come to an end. It's important to us to refresh the schedule. We are going to end the show come December."
