Hey, "Blue Bloods" fans. We're pretty sure most of you are aware of this news by now, but for those of you who aren't, CBS has officially canceled Blue Bloods, and it just has a couple more episodes left to air before it ends for good. We've recently tracked down how many episodes are left along with some other miscellaneous info. Yeah, it turns out that the 10 episodes CBS recently aired for the 14th season of Blue Bloods was actually considered a first half of season 14. So, they're going to release another 8 episodes this fall 2024 and call them second half of season 14. After that, the show is done forever unless a miracle happens and CBS suddenly decides out of nowhere to reverse their cancellation decision. According to Deadline.com, these 8, new episodes are supposed to start sometime in October 2024. We got the 8 episode count from the folks over at http://www.

As many of our favorite television shows are receiving cancelation orders, from Station 19 to Blue Bloods to series that barely make it out of the gate, like Still Star-Crossed or Prodigal Son, it's refreshing to find shows with renewal orders.
It's rare to see new shows that offer something different when it seems like everything has been done, especially among all the remakes and reboots.

Blue Bloods fans are still devastated that CBS pulled the plug on the wildly popular primetime drama after almost 15 years.

While there are many cable TV shows that have gone on far too long and need to end, there are some titles that are canceled too soon when there is still plenty of potential for the story to continue. That was the case with ABC's Station 19, and then again with CBS' Blue Bloods.
The #SaveBlueBloods campaign has spread like wildfire across the internet, with fans of the show spamming comments on the network's official accounts with the hashtag to get noticed. The stars of the show have also joined the effort, rooting for a renewal of their series.
And even though Blue Bloods is still set to end with season 14, there is now a very promising update that could change everything.

The big Blue Bloods news came during a meeting for Paramount shareholders on June 4.
“We are building tomorrow’s billion-dollar brands right now,” Paramount Global co-ceo Brian Robbins said. “In TV, new franchise extensions are coming for Dexter, Billions, and Blue Bloods, and CBS’ hit Fire Country shows huge promise.”
CBS has already announced that a Fire Country spinoff, titled Sheriff Country, will debut during the 2025-26 broadcast season, while a Dexter prequel is moving forward at Showtime. Billions spinoffs are also in development, sources told The Hollywood Reporter in 2023. But this is the first time a spinoff of Blue Bloods has been mentioned.

CBS’s police procedural TV show Blue Bloods can’t be called anything short of iconic, considering its mass following, stellar performance on the network, and star-studded cast led by TV legend Tom Selleck. Despite all these factors, in December 2023, it was revealed that Season 14 would be the finale of Blue Bloods.
Both the show’s stars and fans have been actively trying to revert the decision ever since, but the network doesn’t give in. However, there’s still hope for Blue Bloods, as the most recent update from Paramount implied.

The end of Blue Bloods is almost upon us, but is it really the end of the beloved crime drama?
After S.W.A.T. was un-canceled earlier this year, Blue Bloods fans hoped there was a way forward for the long-running series.
Those hopes were dashed when the network confirmed last month that the back half of Blue Bloods Season 14 will 100% be the end for the show.
However, during Paramount’s annual stockholders meeting this week, we got our biggest indication that the franchise will not remain dormant for long.
According to TV Line, Paramount Global co-ceo Brian Robbins hinted a spinoff is in the works.
“In TV, new franchise extensions are coming for Dexter, Billions, and Blue Bloods,” the exec said.
CBS tends to keep beloved franchises alive with spinoffs
Spinoffs of popular CBS series aren’t a groundbreaking concept, with NCIS: Origins, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, and Criminal Minds: Evolution being some recent efforts.

The world of Blue Bloods may continue after all. The CBS police drama will end this fall with the final eight episodes of season 14, but there will still be more story to tell.
The police drama series, which stars Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Marisa Ramirez, and Vanessa Ray, follows a family of law enforcement officers. Both the cast and fans expressed the desire to keep the series going, but that is not in the cards.

Today, Tom Selleck is among the most celebrated and renowned TV stars in the world, and for the past 14 years, he’s been mostly acting in Blue Bloods. The actor’s real breakthrough, meanwhile, happened almost 45 years ago, back in 1980! That’s when the pilot episode of Selleck’s Magnum P.I. premiered and the audience immediately fell in love with his charming detective.
But during these 45 years, Tom Selleck has been exclusively referring to his iconic series as “Magnum” instead of “Magnum, P.I.” — and few people know why.
Tom Selleck’s Vow Is Rooted in His Principles
The obvious reason for Selleck’s disregard for his legendary show’s official title would be his aesthetic preference or an internal joke of sorts, but the actor’s vow had nothing to do with those things. Having lived in Hawaii for a while before starting the series, Selleck knew more about the local customs than the showrunners.

The Mayor of Kingstown Season 2 Episode 10 ended on a major cliffhanger, leaving fans wondering if Miriam McLusky -- mother of Mike -- would survive.
However, we recently learned that Dianne Wiest was not on the list of names to be part of the show's third season.
So we should have been prepared. But we weren't.
In true fashion, Mayor of Kingtown Season 3 Episode 1 opened with emotions -- first a funeral, then an explosion as everyone returned to their cars.
Talk about setting the bar high for what to expect this season. And instead of grieving like normal people, Mike did his mayoral duties.

It's interesting to see the tightrope he has to walk to keep the peace between the gangs -- criminals and police.
The dynamic he shares with his officer brothers strikes an ideal balance with his ex-con ways.

If there's one thing that makes Blue Bloods feel so warm and homey, it's the Sunday dinner scenes. Reminiscent of what goes on in many homes across the country, the show never fails to remind its viewers that the characters are people, just as real as the fans, with their own traditions and unbreakable customs.
No matter what happens on screen, viewers can always count on the Reagan family to come back to the table and remember the importance of family. One might think that these scenes are the most difficult for the actors to film because of the number of choreographed lines between all the family members.
But as Tom Selleck admits, the words are the last thing that bothers him.

The odds are in Tracker’s favor, as the show has just triumphantly ended the 2023-2024 TV season garnering an impressive amount of viewers and surpassing even CBS’ long-standing giant NCIS.
Apart from NCIS, Tracker is followed by CBS’ other successful projects, and though many of them came quite close to the number one position, the Justin Hartley-led action drama show is still on top. Fair to say it does seem like a good sign for the upcoming second season.
According to Variety’s reports, in CBS’ race for the fans’ love Tracker got more than 10 million viewers, while NCIS ended up with a bit less than 10 million, followed by other CBS darlings like Young Sheldon, Blue Bloods, NCIS: Hawai’i and Elsbeth.
With all the raving success that Tracker suddenly got under its belt, CBS stated that the show had demonstrated the best result ever since Desperate Housewives had...

It doesn’t feel like Tuesday nights without Will Trent. We miss it already.
It’s only been a few days since the Will Trent Season 2 finale, which will leave fans talking for months.
Many significant moments could change the storyline arcs for Season 3, ranging from Will arresting Angie to Gina threatening to divorce Michael and wanting custody of the kids.
Before we discuss the storylines, let’s discuss how the long hiatus could affect the series. In theory, Will Trent has always been a midseason show with around 13 episodes.
However, ABC renewed Will Trent with 18 episodes, hoping to play the series from January to May. In theory, it seemed like a realistic idea, but when they ended Season 2 on such a massive cliffhanger, fans wanted it to return as soon as possible.
The chatter will die down after a while, so waiting until January wasn’t wise after that controversial episode.

Football continues to act as the glue that holds the broadcast nets together, while Justin Hartley’s Tracker found more viewers this season than longtime victor NCIS.
The 2023-24 Nielsen charts also revealed how Young Sheldon was able to go out on top, while many other CBS series remained in the total viewer top 20. Yet one of the bigger head scratchers was the performance by the network’s Blue Bloods, which, despite averaging 8.1 million viewers this year, is on its way out.
The police drama still does better than The Equalizer (7.7 million) and Fire Country (7.1 million), but the Tom Selleck series is scheduled to wrap at year’s end for its 14th and final season.
“We love this cast, we love their passion for the show,” CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach told reporters in early May. “All shows have to come to an end. It’s important to us to refresh the schedule.

For decades, TV shows lived and died by their ratings among adults 18-49, the demographic sweet spot for advertisers to reach a wide swath of potential customers with money to spend but without the lifelong habits about how to spend it. That’s not really the case anymore as an emphasis on engagement and reach in the streaming era, along with a focus on precisely targeted ads, means chasing demos is even more data-driven than it was in the pre-streaming age. That shift aligns with the reality that, thanks to streaming and the relentless pull of algorithmic content apps, only a small part of a given show’s on-air audience falls into the once coveted demo.
The median age for a network primetime viewer long has been above 50 — this year, it comes in at 64.6 for the five English-language broadcast networks. Cable is much the same, with such networks as Bravo...

Regular old CBS can still make new hits.
That’s the takeaway from Nielsen’s report on the 100 most-watched primetime broadcast and cable series of the 2023-24 season (via Variety), which lists the freshman drama series “Tracker” as TV’s top non-sports program. It’s the first time a new series has been the No. 1 show since “Survivor” in 2000, per CBS.
“Tracker” capitalized on its coveted post-Super Bowl series premiere slot and lack of new series competition in the midst of a strike-disrupted broadcast season, averaging 10.8 million total viewers per episode in Season 1 on the way to becoming the most-watched new series since “Desperate Housewives” in 2024-25. The series, which stars “This Is Us” veteran Justin Hartley as a survivalist who helps find missing persons, beat out second-place drama “NCIS” by more than a million viewers.
CBS also has the year’s top comedy series, the final season of “Young Sheldon.

In December 2023, CBS announced that Blue Bloods would end with Season 14, and ever since then, lead star Tom Selleck has been waging a one-man war with the network in an attempt to save his iconic series. Admittedly, one of the main reasons Selleck needs Blue Bloods to continue is to keep his main source of income.
But just how much does that source amount to for Selleck per year — and how much has he earned from Blue Bloods throughout all 14 seasons?
Selleck Has Made a Fortune from Blue Bloods
Ever since 2016, it’s been well-known that Tom Selleck’s Blue Bloods salary was $200k per episode. This is a staggering amount of money on its own, but it gets better once we start multiplying. An average Blue Bloods season is 22 episodes long, so we’re looking at $4.4M per season which translates to “per year.”

For all the Blue Bloods fans who haven’t been content with the lack of serious stakes and tension in the show lately, its behind-the-scenes drama should provide more than enough of both.
As CBS is adamant about ending Blue Bloods with Season 14, lead star Tom Selleck is equally hellbent on keeping it going — and so far, it doesn’t look like either party will be willing to back down.
Tom Selleck Won’t Give Up: ‘Tell Your Friends’
While not the only cast member who’s been vocal about the cancellation lately, Tom Selleck has definitely been the most active protester of the network’s decision. The lead star has been going live about it on every opportunity, criticizing CBS for canceling Blue Bloods and claiming that he won’t rest until renewed once again.
Months go by, and Tom Selleck is still on the grind to save his iconic series.

Tom Selleck played Police Commissioner Frank Reagan for 275 episodes of Blue Bloods over 14 seasons. He was one of the highest-paid actors in the series, but his recent comments about his potential financial woes after the end of the series raise several eyebrows. Selleck wants CBS to reconsider its decision to cancel the police procedural drama. However, an insider shared that the network wasn’t buying the actor’s financial situation.

From 2010 to now, Blue Bloods has entertained viewers with its epic police drama storyline on CBS. Featuring the lives of the Reagan family, all members of law enforcement, the series stars Tom Selleck in the lead. Although the ratings of the show have somewhat plummeted in the last few years with each subsequent season, Blue Bloods is still among the top shows of all time.

Tom Selleck’s time on Blue Bloods is coming to an end. That means the actor, 79, will have to say goodbye to the hefty paychecks he’s received for playing top cop Frank Reagan on the CBS drama.
Selleck has made it clear that he isn’t ready to retire and thinks the network should reconsider its decision to cancel Blue Bloods. But insiders say he should quit griping, considering that he’s likely made millions over the show’s 14-year run.
Tom Selleck earned an estimated $200,000 per episode for ‘Blue Bloods’
Tom Selleck’s exact Blue Bloods salary isn’t known. But it’s safe to say it’s not chump change. Back in 2016, Variety estimated that he earned $200,000 per episode, which works out to $4.4 million per 22-episode season. Over 14 seasons, that adds up to total earnings in the tens of millions.

In December 2023, CBS announced that Season 14 would be the finale of Blue Bloods, and that wasn’t a popular decision at all. On the fans’ side, there have been #SaveBlueBloods petitions and campaigns; on the cast’s part, no one has been more vocal about the absolute necessity of the show’s continuation as Tom Selleck.
Apparently, CBS bosses find the lead actor’s pleas extremely infuriating — and for a good reason, as much as it pains us to say it. Here’s what an inside source revealed.
Selleck’s ‘Poverty’ Claims Impressed No One
While a large part of Tom Selleck’s one-man war with CBS is focused on how important the show is for the Blue Bloods cast, crew, and fans, there’s another thing he’s been very vocal about lately: money. According to the actor, the show’s cancellation could render him broke — and unable to maintain his favorite ranch.

Tom Selleck’s Frank Reagan is the classic blend of on- and off-screen patriarch of his TV show. Having been sitting in the Commissioner’s chair since Blue Bloods Season 1, Frank has been a wize and competent leader of the NY cops throughout the seasons — but the show is drawing to the conclusion, and so is his career.
There’s been a lot of foreshadowing of Frank’s retirement in the past episodes, and it only makes sense that he replaces Henry as the “stay-at-home patriarch.” Right?..
Blue Bloods Boss Denies Frank’s Retirement
We’ve been all led to believe that Frank Reagan won’t stay on the Commissioner’s post by the end of Season 14. From his subtle comments to his seemingly seeking reconciliation with the Mayor at one point, it has surely been looking as if Frank was getting his business in order before passing the position to his successor.

NewsNation had been programming reruns of the CBS series Blue Bloods during the 4-7 p.m. weekend hours. Bankert will now anchor the window.
“We are immensely proud to announce that NewsNation is now a 24/7 cable news network,” said Sean Compton, president of Nexstar’s networks division, in a statement. “This milestone marks the culmination of our efforts to continue expanding and growing the network since launching it in 2020.

CBS canceled a lot of popular shows this season. They canceled Blue Bloods, NCIS: Hawai’i, and CSI: Vegas. They also announced they will bring back S.W.A.T., but only for one more season. The reason the network execs gave was that they wanted to “freshen” things up and hope viewers would like the new shows replacing the beloved canceled series.
One way to do that is by adding in another franchise show, but this one will be very different from everything that came before. CSI: Miami is coming back in a new format.
CBS Bringing Back CSI: Miami As A Different Show
CBS has offered up some replacements for the departing shows, but it remains to be seen if fans care enough to buy into the new ones. For example, NCIS: Hawai’i is going away, but a show called NCIS: Origins is replacing it. For Blue Bloods, CBS is bringing in...

Blue Bloods isn't quite done yet.
CBS' beloved police/family drama still has eight episodes left that will air in the fall, though they've wrapped up the first part of their final season and will soon be finished filming the series finale, which will air in December 2024.

Before we jump into it, let's clear up some confusion. CBS is calling those final eight episodes the second part of Season 14 even though they Also called Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 10 the season finale.
Tom Selleck recently stated that those eight episodes are really Season 15, and it's hard to blame him for saying so, even though it caused more confusion. These episodes are airing in the fall, traditionally the start of the new season,...

Most fans agree that, since the show is coming to a closure, the notorious couple will get their happy ending — but apparently, Blue Bloods showrunners have other plans in mind…
Or so they say, because we’re very much not buying it.
Blue Bloods Boss Denies Daez Endgame
Danny and Baez have been the talk of the town for several years now, and the bittersweet Blue Bloods finale seems like the perfect opportunity to bring them together. That’s what fans think, anyway, because the series’ showrunner Kevin Wade recently sat down with TV Insider only to stomp on those dreams and hopes.

Blue Bloods isn’t interested in reinventing the wheel in its final season. Showrunner Kevin Wade tells TV Insider that just like in Season 14 Part 1 and its finale, which aired on Friday, May 17 on CBS, Blue Bloods‘ final episodes will be reliably familiar territory, but it will always aim to entertain its loyal viewers. There are dramatic turns they’re interested in exploring, like the bail reform plot line and Aidan Quinn‘s violent reaction to it in the midseason finale, but one thing that’s not likely to happen when the show returns is a Danny and Baez romance. Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Baez (Marisa Ramirez) had the heavy task of reining in Quinn’s Det. Gus Vanderlip, who had gone rogue in response to a serial rapist he had arrested two weeks prior being released. Between this storyline and the crooked sober-living house at which Jamie (Will Estes...

Max is in danger, and Chris is unconscious.
For a series on its last episode after a recent cancellation order, CSI: Vegas threw viewers straight into the action from the opening scene.
As fans say goodbye to the CSI team we've grown fond of for the last three years, CSI: Vegas Season 3 Episode 10 gave fans a conflicting farewell.
The revolving theme for this season has been the AI robots. Max still has Ocho in her lab from CSI: Vegas Season 3 Episode 5, "It Was Automation."
So, naturally, everyone believed the bad guy they were after was the company's founder, Truman Thomas.
But on the last episode of the series, fans got the best misdirect we've seen in a while.
'Cause the bad guy was dead and, in fact, innocent all along. He was just a pawn in the wheel of a bigger plan.
Throughout the hour, an unnamed bad guy...

The already iconic police procedural Blue Bloods is coming to an end. This is an excellent opportunity to remember other TV shows about law enforcement officers – both bad cops and real detectives.
1. The Sommerdahl Murders, 2020-...
The action takes place in the coastal town of Helsingor. The series tells the story of Dan and Marianne Sommerdahl, who work together as police officers. The man has a best friend – Flemming Torp. His help in investigating crimes can hardly be overestimated, as well as in the collapse of the Sommerdahl relationship.
Flemming and Marianne, who is disappointed in her constantly busy husband, become closer faster than Dan can solve a new case. But police work cannot be distracted by family drama, and the trio must work together for the sake of the rule of law.
The Sommerdahl Murders is based on the books by the popular Danish crime writer Anna Grue. But unlike the literary source,...
