“Not sure I have the words to describe how I feel about today, or the last 14 years on this special Blue Bloods journey,” he wrote in an Instagram post
Donnie Wahlberg is saying goodbye to Danny Reagan.
On Thursday, June 20, the 54-year-old actor shared a video on Instagram as he arrived on the Blue Bloods set for the final time.
“Last day of Blue Bloods ⬇️ Not sure I have the words to describe how I feel about today, or the last 14 years on this special Blue Bloods journey, but I do know how incredibly thankful I am for every moment of it,” he began the caption.
“To the cast, the crew, the guest cast, every background actor, writer, producer and every member of every single dept — thank you. To the people of New York, in every neighborhood and borough, thank you for always showing your love. To the NYPD, thank you for your support and sacrifice, I hope we did you proud.”
He concluded the caption with a message for fans of the long-running CBS series, writing, “Lastly, to my fans, and the fans of this show. We don’t make it 14 days (nevermind 14 years) without you! Your love and support for this show has been one of the great blessings of my life. Thank you.”

In the video, Wahlberg exited a blue tour bus with a cup of coffee in his hand, hours after performing in Boston for New Kids on the Block‘s Magic Summer Tour.
“Pulled up from Magic Summer Tour to film Danny Reagan’s ‘last tour.’ Thankful to all,” he wrote over the video.
Several of Wahlberg’s Blue Bloods costars shared posts, too, in honor of their last day of filming after 14 seasons.
In a photo she and Wahlberg both reposted to their Instagram Stories, Vanessa Ray, Marisa Ramirez and Wahlberg shared a group hug on set, as Ray wrote over the photo, “I love them so much it hurts,” while Wahlberg wrote, “Family forever.”
CBS announced in November that Blue Bloods would end after its 14th season, and Tom Selleck, who has played Reagan family patriarch Frank Reagan since the show’s premiere, called it an “honor and a privilege to work on a show that not only celebrates the men and women who protect and serve in New York City, but also displayed the importance of family.”
“Working alongside these incredible actors, writers, producers, directors and crew has been a dream come true and I’m grateful to have been a part of this extraordinary group for over 275 episodes,” Selleck’s statement continued.
In the months since the announcement, the cast has expressed its desire for the network to reverse its decision to end the show, with Selleck telling CBS News in May that he’ll “continue to think that CBS will come to their senses.”
“We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast. We’re winning the night,” Selleck, 79, said. “All the cast wants to come back. And I can tell you this: we aren’t sliding off down a cliff. We’re doing good shows, and still holding our place. So, I don’t know. You tell me!”
During a Paramount stockholders meeting earlier this month, Blue Bloods‘ cast and fans’ prayers seemed to possibly be answered as co-CEO Brian Robbins announced that “new franchise extensions are coming” for several Paramount TV shows, including Blue Bloods.
While no further details were given, the news of a “franchise extension” could signify a future for the Reagan clan.
