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?
Yeah more Blue Bloods

Why the best shows leaving like Blue Blood NCIS New Orleans being let go knowing they are well loved.
There is enough intrigue, drama, and inter relationships for this series to continue for years. The question will always be whether the actors want to continue to portray their characters. It is an amazing cast and it is why I continue to watch the program.
Fantastic that BB is coming back it is our Friday night must watch.
I can’t think of the day when this series will end. My Fridays will never be the same! Please continue your great writing and thanks to the whole cast!
I love the show I will definitely watch season 12. If it would have ended like that I would have been upset. Can’t wait to see what’s up for the new season.
The finale would have been a terrible way to end the series. It was an excellent finale, but there are too many loose ends with the characters. Danny needs a new love, Erin has to remarry her spouse and the original cast plus newbies have to join at the dinner table for one last meal.
