Blue Bloods has now ended its 11th season on CBS, and the season finale could have served as the end of the series. The cop family drama was renewed for a 12th season last month but, in late 2020, showrunner Kevin Wade believed the end might be near.
Wade said the following about the CBS series in an interview with Deadline:
“We were told pretty early on, I think before Thanksgiving that our season finale would be the last two episodes and would air back to back which I immediately took as they’re planning to wrap up the series … So I started to think about how do we do something that could serve as a season finale but also if need be as a series finale.
We went back to the end of the first season where all the Reagans became involved in finding out and catching and bringing to justice the bad cops who killed Joe Reagan who is of course, Joe Hill’s father. And it was kind of a callback to that, just in case it was a series finale it would have a circle to it.”
The finale was completely filmed before news of the renewal was released last month. Blue Bloods will return for season 12 in the fall.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Blue Bloods on CBS? Do you plan to watch the new season next fall? Would the episodes that aired last Friday have satisfied you as a series finale?
Love love love Blue Bloods
I LOVE Blue Bloods, Love Tom Selleck in everything he does. The family dynamics comes across as Real. Would be sad if cancelled, I know everything has a ending. But NOT NOW!
I am so glad they will be back. Good shows are hard to come by.
I watch BB every Friday night and every we’d on ion I never miss it
Renew, I love Blue Bloods and now my whole family watches it.
I love Blue Bloods, I love how it showed a real type family with issues and a resolution to the family issues at each episode, I love the family dinners I tried to do that with mine it wasn’t easy when the kids were little we’ve been trying to do a game night. I love how the show shows the effort that goes into keeping that and the importance of it. Along with one of my favorite things crime drama / mystery, I really feel this is one of the best shows in a long time.
Im glad they are renewing blue blood. I have watched it since the begining. Please continue for as long as it is possible. Thank you.
I love Blue Bloods. I hope it’s never discontinued. It’s a such a great family show and the topics are always so interesting. Please keep it going.
Our family loves the Regan family. We look forward to watching it every Friday eve. We even watch the reruns. We are so glad that it is coming back for it’s 12th. Season. Thank you for not canceling this great program. It is our favorite.
Yes I want to see the next season. I love the show.
Yes……..Bluebloods all the way to a new season! How 12 thru 20 seasons?
My favorite show! Keep keep
An incredible series!!! I am beyond hooked on this program and can’t wait for every new season. I especially like the Sunday night dinners and the “banter” and “resolve” at the end of each episode.
More families should heed this example. I never tire of watching episodes more than once.
Being a retired federal agent and the son of a police officer, I find Blue Bloods to be very authentic and entertaining. It is not ridiculous and phony like the other law enforcement shows. NCIS,? It’s a soap opera.
My favorite show, keep it coming. Thank you
