Blue Bloods is an American police procedural television series created by Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess. It aired from September 24, 2010 until December 13, 2024. The series centers on the Reagans, a family of police officers in New York City. Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) is the police commissioner with three grown children working in law enforcement: the oldest, Danny (Donnie Wahlberg), a pragmatic detective; Erin (Bridget Moynahan), an assistant district attorney who prosecutes many of the offenders Danny apprehends; and Jamie (Will Estes), a Harvard Law School graduate and a patrol cop in the NYPD. Frank's second son, Joseph, an NYPD detective, was killed in the line of duty while investigating a group of dirty cops nicknamed "The Blue Templar" 15 months prior to the start of the series.
