Blue Bloods finished its 14-season run in 2024, but the franchise isn't finished just yet. The IP will live on through the new spinoff, Boston Blue, which is heading to CBS this fall amid the 2025 TV schedule. The series will follow Donnie Wahlberg’s Detective Danny Reagan in Boston, with a new partner. While the prospective of the spinoff is somewhat exciting, the fact that the parent show is still dominating with viewers is making me bummed that the procedural isn’t continuing.
It was in December 2024 that Blue Bloods came to an end and, to some, the decision to cancel the show was somewhat surprising. Aside from the show arguably being one of the Eye Network's signature series, it was also still performing well in the Friday night slot, which can be considered a “death sentence” for a show. The series finale brought in some truly big numbers and, overall, BB was the fifth highest-rated scripted series on CBS for the 2024-25 season, proving again that the cancellation was a mistake.
