Kevin Wade Speaks Out on Speculation Surrounding the 'Blue Bloods' Series Finale
Let’s dive into the world of 'Blue Bloods,' where fans are buzzing with theories about who might meet their end in the show's final episodes. Showrunner Kevin Wade has heard the chatter, and he’s got something to say about it. In a recent interview with TV Insider on December 6, Wade gave fans a sneak peek into what’s in store for the Reagan family as they gear up for their ultimate goodbye.
During the chat, the interviewer brought up some leaked photos from the series finale, showing the Reagan clan gathered at what appears to be a funeral. Naturally, this has the fanbase on edge, speculating which beloved character might be leaving the show forever.
Every Victory Comes at a Cost: Wade's Philosophy on Storytelling
When asked directly which character might be the one to bite the dust, Wade gave an intriguing response that left fans guessing but didn’t spoil the surprise. “To sound a little fancy here, but bear with me,” Wade said, “one of the guiding principles of the show’s storytelling over the years—and it became even sharper as we went on—is that every victory has to come with a loss.”

He went on to explain, “It’s pretty straightforward. The most moving stories we’ve told are those where the Reagans, whether individually or as a family, achieved something great, but it came at a price. That’s the essence of our storytelling.”
So, while Wade didn’t spill the beans on who exactly will be leaving the Reagan family, he did give us a glimpse into the emotional depth fans can expect from the final episode. It’s clear that the show’s final moments will be both heartwarming and heart-wrenching.
A Satisfying End for the Reagans
After the character’s death unfolds on-screen, fans can look forward to a satisfying conclusion for all the Reagan family members. Wade reassured fans that the series finale won’t wrap things up with a Hollywood-style happy ending where everything is magically resolved. “The sun doesn’t just come out and make all their problems disappear,” Wade shared. “That wouldn’t be true to 14 years of storytelling. But we hope the finale will be fulfilling for the audience.”
He emphasized, “It’s about a family that deals with loss, loneliness, and the constant battle between good and evil. These are the themes that have driven the show from the beginning, and they’ll continue to resonate in the finale.”
Who Will Attend the Funeral?
Based on the photos that have been released, it seems like several key characters will be in attendance at the funeral. Confirmed attendees include Frank Reagan, Danny Reagan, Jamie Reagan, Eddie Janko-Reagan, Maria Baez, Erin Reagan, Jack Boyle, Mayor Peter Chase, Garrett Moore, and Henry Reagan. Wade’s comments suggest that all the Reagan family members will survive the final two episodes, hinting that the tragedy might involve one of the show’s side characters.
So, who’s at risk? Fans will have to tune in to find out, but one thing’s for sure: the stakes are high, and the finale promises to deliver a powerful conclusion to the Reagan family saga.

What to Expect in the Finale
Wade provided more details about the events leading up to the funeral. The series finale kicks off with a shocking murder of a judge, setting the stage for a thrilling and suspenseful conclusion. “In the first act, we see a series of violent crimes and attempted murders that seem unrelated until Assistant District Attorney Erin Reagan [Bridget Moynahan] and her investigator Anthony [Steve Schriepa] uncover a recording that ties it all together,” Wade explained. “It becomes clear that these crimes are part of a larger plan to create chaos in New York City.”
“The Reagans, including Police Commissioner Frank [Tom Selleck], Detective Danny [Donnie Wahlberg], Sergeant Jamie [Will Estes], and Patrol Eddie [Vanessa Ray], along with Erin and Anthony, must work together to unravel the mystery and solve the crimes,” Wade continued. “Gang leader Carlo Ramirez [Manny Perez], who had to flee the country, plays a crucial role in the plot. He returns with vengeance on his mind, determined to wreak havoc and reclaim his child.”
With the clock ticking down, the finale is shaping up to be a high-stakes, action-packed conclusion that fans won’t want to miss. “It’s going to be intense, emotional, and unforgettable,” Wade promised.
The 'Blue Bloods' series finale airs on Friday, December 13, at 10 p.m. ET on CBS. Don’t miss it!
