The highly anticipated 13th season of Blue Bloods is set to premiere on October 7, 2022. This crime drama series, created by Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess, has captivated audiences for over a decade and is now ready to continue its successful run with a brand-new season.
The show first made its debut on CBS in the United States on September 24, 2010, wrapping up its inaugural season on May 13, 2011. Fast forward to Season 12, which concluded recently on May 6, 2022; fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this long-running series.
Recap of Previous Seasons
Blue Bloods has solidified itself as America’s go-to law enforcement drama. The show’s twelfth season was met with widespread acclaim from fans and consistently topped the ratings charts. CBS Entertainment has greatly benefited from the success of Blue Bloods, which has played a significant role in making CBS one of the most-watched networks in America.
At the heart of Blue Bloods is a family deeply committed to upholding justice in New York City. The story revolves around Frank Reagan—a police commissioner who also happens to be a father—navigating his dual roles as both his children’s boss and their parent. The show masterfully portrays how he balances these responsibilities while maintaining order within his family.
Frank’s daughter serves as an assistant district attorney while his sons have also followed paths into law enforcement: Danny is an experienced detective and former Marine, while Jamie transitioned from being a Harvard Law graduate to becoming a police officer. Despite facing various challenges both at work and at home, this Irish-American family remains united by their shared love for each other and their country.
As viewers tune into Season 13 episodes each week, they can expect familiar scenes where the Reagan family gathers around their dinner table for Sunday meals after solving complex cases together. However, there are hints that significant changes could be coming for some characters—both professionally and personally—as this new season unfolds.
