Airing on the CBS television network, Blue Bloods follows a multi-generational family of cops, the Reagans. Patriarch and New York Police Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) leads both the police force and the Reagan brood. Daughter and New York ADA Erin (Bridget Moynahan) is a single mom and the family’s legal compass. As the eldest son and a seasoned detective Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) sometimes uses questionable tactics while working cases with his partner Detective Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez). His wife Linda (Amy Carlson) is a bastion of support. Golden boy and Harvard grad Jamie (Will Estes) is the youngest of Frank’s kids. He gives up his legal career to follow the family’s law enforcement tradition. The cast also includes Len Cariou, Sami Gayle, and Vanessa Ray.

Telly’s Take
While theBlue Bloods rating numbers in the important 18-49 demo are nothing to crow about, the show still draws lots of eyeballs to CBS. Even in its seventh season, Blue Bloods remains one of The Tiffany Network’s top five shows in terms of total audience, despite the fact that it airs on Friday nights. It also does well in syndication. Since star Tom Selleck is only signed through the current season, a Blue Bloods season eight renewal will likely come down to whether he and his key cast mates want to continue making the police procedural drama. Right now though, I expect CBS will pick up Blue Bloods season eight, provided all parties can come to terms.
3/23 update: Blue Bloods has been renewed for an eighth season. Details here.

I love Blue Bloods I even watch the reruns!!! Please don’t cancel!!!!! Love all the actors/actresses ❤️
Blue Bloods season eight !!! We hail Blue Bloods, yeah to season eight
I love Bluebloods. I hope it stays on the air for a long time. I started watching it on Netflix and got hooked on it.
We look forward to this program every evening when it’s available. So happy they are continuing this season in September.
I am thrilled to look forward to season 8 of Blue Bloods. The not too sterile, but still clean enough and true blue family iriented show is right up my alley! I refuse to believe that mainstream Americans are busy ******** their co workers and each others spouses and I don’t want to live in a world like that. So, if I’m in Denial, ok, leave me there with the Reagans!
Looking forward to another season of blue bloods, cast is fantastic, show is exciting, great stories, good writers..
Keep them coming ….
Have a great summer to everyone,
But, can’t wait till September !!!!!
Blue Blood is a great family show. We need about 22 more seasons of it. The family meals make me feel like I’m part of them.
I think it is a great show and has family values. We lack TV shows that still have ethics and learning lessons.
Best crime-drama tv show ever. As a retired cop, I was so fascinated by the real-life relationships with the most superb cast, that I have binge watched all 155 episodes and can’t wait for season 8. Hope it never ends. Incredible writers. Love the Jamie/Eddie partnership/closet romance.
I just discovered Blue Bloods a few months ago. I didn’t know that it was only between seasons. I am glad that it’s coming back. Great story lines.
I am with you. I saw an old episode on I’m at a friend’s house and I watched it didn’t think I would like the show I don’t know why but loved it so I started looking online to see if it was coming on and saw that it may not come back for another season meantime I found out that I could watch all 7 seasons on Amazon so started watching them a couple of weeks ago and already at the end of season 4 got to catch up before the end of September, guessing it won’t take me… Read more »
Love Blue Bloods and look forward to each show. Love Jamie and Eddie …..they are great together and I’m hoping they will put a little romance in their lives. Each episode is completely different and I feel like Tom Selleck is really our police commissioner. This show never disappoints.
I LOVE BLUE BLOODS BUT I HAVE MISSED EDDIE!!! I WAS HOPING JAMIE AND EDDIE WOULD MAKE A COUPLE SINCE THEY ARE WITH DIFFERENT PARTNERS. IT WOULD NOT BE GOOD IF EDDIE IS NOT ON THE SHOW!!!!
I love blue bloods can’t wait for another season
Please don’t cancel the best show. This is a show I have never missed. It’s a must see. I’m a huge fan of mr selleck have for 40 years
My wife and I love Blue Bloods. We go to Hulu and watch all the past seasons. Hope it is never cancelled.
I would have been very disappointed if Blue Bloods was cancelled. And it would have convinced me that I should not watch TV series as no matter how popular they are, they get cancelled to make room for low budget flops.
