Stars Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Marisa Ramirez and Vanessa Ray will all be returning.

However, Deadline reports that the season-14 renewal only came after contract negotiations that resulted in significant budget cuts that resulted in the series’ stars and producers accepting a 25 per cent pay cut in order to maintain the jobs of  hundreds of crew members and support personnel employed by the show.

Following the news, Wahlberg shared a celebratory post on Instagram.
