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?
Best show ever, so happy the show is coming back for another. I’d really would of missed there Sunday dinners. The greatest show on earth…

We watched all shows of blue bloods. Sorry to hear they might cut it off. Happy to hear maybe they will be on more shows. Thank you.
Best show on TV. Everyone I know watches Blue Bloods.
Blue Blood is one of the best shows on CBS as is All Rise. Neither should be canceled.
Great show never missed it every week was suspenseful. Thank you for more suspense
I love love this show. I hope it goes on forever!!
Yes. Both me and my wife have been watching the show since day 1. Of course we will be watching next season and hopefully additional seasons if they so chose to renew. The best show on television!! A as for the season finale it’s probably the best one yet. Can’t wait for September.
Do not cancel this show! This is one of the most family oriented shows on television today…love this show and its actors/actresses!!!
I likevBlue Bloods, I think it needs to be more diversified. The PC has no minorities in his office except for Abigail.
Danny spends a lot of time chasing minorities and then abusing them.
I am a retired Police Officer, a retired Law Enforcement Director of training and a retired Military Police First Sergeant.
The image needs to change more positive Diversity. Especially if we want to improve the relationship of police with the communities of color
Absolutely my favorite show in tv.
Love Blue Bloods! Keep the series aluve!!
