According to TV by the Numbers, committing to a third season of Blue Bloods meant that CBS was all but guaranteed to commit to a fourth season.[1] This was because as a CBS Television Studios production, CBS has a financial incentive to produce at least the minimum number of episodes needed for stripped syndication.[1] On March 27, 2013, CBS made it official by renewing Blue Bloods for a fourth season to begin in the fall of 2013.[2]

Cast

Summarize
Perspective

Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes and Len Cariou are first credited, with Tom Selleck receiving an "and" billing at the close of the main title sequence. Amy Carlson and Sami Gayle are once again credited as "also starring" within the episodes they appear, whilst Jennifer Esposito entered a dispute with CBS regarding doctor's orders for her to cut back working hours due to her Coeliac disease. Rather than work around her limited schedule, CBS chose to replace her character this season. As such, Esposito only appears in five episodes, receiving "also starring" billing in all of them.

Several guest stars initially replaced Esposito as Danny's temporary partner in story arcs. First up was Megan Ketch as Detective Kate Lansing.[3] Megan Boone, from Law & Order: LA and The Blacklist appeared in a later arc during the season, although her contract stipulated she had the option to remain as a regular, "also starring" member of the cast should a deal not be reached with Esposito before the fourth season.[4] Marisa Ramirez then appeared in the final seven episodes as Danny's partner, Det. Maria Baez, before becoming a regular in Season 4.
