Blue Bloods is an intense police drama, but it is, at its heart, a family show. After all, no episode is complete without all of the Reagans gathering around the dinner table. Many members of the tight-knit cast have worked together since the show premiered in 2010, and they have joined forces to ensure that the series will continue.

CBS announced that Blue Bloods will return for season 14, but it's not without a sacrifice on the part of the show's stars. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actors and producers agreed to take a 25% pay cut to keep the show going for another season and help ensure salaries for the production staff.

Donnie Wahlberg, who stars as Danny Reagan, shared a heartfelt post with his fans discussing the show's future as filming for season 13 wrapped. In the video, the actor smiled, danced, and thanked the cast and crew.

He wrote, "I can’t tell you all how fortunate I am to work with such an amazing cast & crew, nor can I ever properly express my gratitude to them and to all of you — our loyal fans & viewers! I can, however, promise to keep working my ass off to show you how incredibly thankful I am for this most wonderful opportunity to be welcomed into your homes (with my TV family) each week, to be part of your lives and to have you as part of mine — and to be so blessed to do what I love to do every day. Thank you! On to Season 14! See you in July! Let’s go!"

Blue Bloods returns this week with an all-new episode, "Smoke & Mirrors." Tune in to CBS or catch up on all 13 seasons on Paramount+.
