Donnie Wahlberg and Bridget Moynahan are upset to see the long-running CBS series Blue Bloods go. In an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on April 23, Wahlberg and Moynahan shared a clip from the final season that is currently airing, featuring a scene with the Reagans at their weekly Sunday dinner.

It was announced in November that 14-season show would be ending in 2024.

Drew Barrymore asked the two how they’re feeling about the 14-year-long run coming to an end.

“I think everybody’s really upset and sad, but also happy and satiated?” she posed.

“More upset and sad,” said Wahlberg.

Co-host Ross Matthews followed up by asking what it feels like to say goodbye to their characters. Moynahan responded that it was like saying goodbye to “family.”

“I think it’s more saying goodbye to the people behind the characters,” said the actress. “We’ve created such a family on set with each other and the crew — most of the crew’s been with us for 14 years, so we’ve been through a lot of weddings, births, deaths, and everything. We’ve been through it all with each other.”

In March, according to Hollywood Reporter‘s sources, the procedural drama was renewed for Season 14 following a 25 percent pay cut by cast and producers, despite its performance as CBS’s #1 show in the 10/9c slot since 2010. The final season of Blue Bloods is split into two parts, 10 episodes airing this spring and 8 in the fall.

The procedural drama also stars Tom Selleck, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Marisa Ramirez, and Vanessa Ray star. Kevin Wade, Siobhan Byrne-O’Connor, Ian Biederman, and Dan Truly serve as executive producers.

    Definitely going to miss Blue Bloods if it’s cancelled! Hope somewhere along the way we get a Save and the show continues. If it’s cancelled I won’t be watching anything on cbs. Don’t enjoy anything else on their line up!

    CBS and NBC mismanaged Magnum PI. One of the best all around dramas today.

    Now is time to close Blue Blloods as they have had their run for sure, not as good as Magnum Reboot.

    Secondly FBI International and thirdly FBI Most Wanted lost their Main Star and likely most Fan interest as well.

    The more I think about the high handed way CBS has treated the loyal Blue Bloods fans, the angrier I get. Of course they are a business and the bottom line is king, but surely the relationship built over the years should count for something. No.1 show for multiple years? Cast and crew willing to take 25% pay cut? What equivalent effort has the network made to demonstrate they are worthy of the loyalty of the viewers and cast?

    I only watch CBS on Friday night for Blue Blood since season 14 is it's last I will no longer watch CBS anymore. The people in charge of CBS programming need to have their heads check and check Neilson reports
