Blue Bloods actor Donnie Wahlberg has expressed optimism about the show's future beyond season 14, despite recent pay cuts for the cast. The police procedural drama has maintained steady ratings over more than 250 episodes and a continuation with a long run like Law and Order: SVU is hoped for by Wahlberg. While viewer numbers have declined, they are still relatively strong compared to other shows in the genre. The show's focus on family and exploration of New York City's justice system could continue for a while and additional appearances from former stars may generate more interest. Blue Bloods airs Fridays at 10 p.m. EST on CBS.
