Hey there, friends. A lot of people are buzzing right now about whether CBS officially decided to pull the plug on the beloved police procedural drama, Blue Bloods, after a solid 14 seasons. Fans have been fighting hard to keep the show alive and even pushing for a potential spinoff. But did their efforts pay off in the end? Let’s dive into the details and see what’s really going on with this iconic series.
So, Is 'Blue Bloods' Officially Cancelled?
Let’s cut straight to the chase: it’s the end of the road for Blue Bloods' original run on CBS. The network recently confirmed that the show has been officially cancelled after 14 incredible seasons. Yeah, it’s tough news to hear, but the show had an amazing run, and it’s important to celebrate that.
CBS Entertainment President, Amy Reisenbach, shared heartfelt words in a statement back in May 2024. “We really want to thank the cast and crew, everyone involved in the show,” she said. “We absolutely will miss the family dinners. It’s crucial to give the show the sendoff it truly deserves.”

To emphasize the point, she added, “We really want to thank the cast and crew, everyone involved in the show.” And she wasn’t kidding when she said they’ll miss those family dinners. For over a decade, Blue Bloods has been a staple in our homes, bringing drama, humor, and heart to the screen each week.
Following the announcement, the show’s star, Tom Selleck, took a moment to reflect on his time with the series. “For the past 13 years, it has been an honor and a privilege to work on a show that not only celebrates the men and women who protect and serve in New York City but also highlights the importance of family,” he said. “Working alongside these incredible actors, writers, producers, directors, and crew has been a dream come true, and I’m incredibly grateful to have been a part of this extraordinary group for over 275 episodes.”
Did Another Network Pick Up 'Blue Bloods'?
Unfortunately, it looks like Blue Bloods didn’t find a new home on another network. Many of the cast members had hoped the series would continue elsewhere, but it seems that wasn’t meant to be.
“I don’t think there’s a possibility of it going to another network—I know that there’s been a bit of chatter about that, but I don’t think that’s a viable option given the talks we’ve had with the cast and the producers,” said cast member Abigail Hawk in an interview with Hello! Magazine in October 2024.
When Was the 'Blue Bloods' Series Finale?
The second half of Blue Bloods’ final season began airing in October 2024, and the season 14 series finale aired on CBS on December 13, 2024. It was a bittersweet moment for fans, but the finale gave the show the closure it deserved.
Is There a 'Blue Bloods' Spinoff Coming?
Here’s some good news for fans: a Blue Bloods spinoff is officially in the works, and it will feature Donnie Wahlberg. CBS announced the new series in a press release in February 2025, with the working title Boston Blue.

“In BOSTON BLUE, a universe expansion of the long-running top drama BLUE BLOODS, Wahlberg will reprise his role as NYPD officer Danny Reagan as he takes a position with Boston PD. Once in Boston, he is paired with detective Lena Peters, the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family,” the network explained in the press release.
Donnie himself expressed interest in a spinoff, but only if it stayed true to the heart and spirit of the original show. “There’s been a lot of talk about spinoffs, about various spinoffs, all types of concepts of spinoffs,” he told TV Insider in October 2024. “Personally, I would say whatever happens next, if it’s done with the spirit of Blue Bloods and done with the care that we tried to put into Blue Bloods every week, it would be something that I would look forward to watching or being a part of either way.”
