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?
This is the only show my husband and I watch! Thank you for renewing it. As a displaced NYer, plus a concealed card carrying gun holder, we love dry shooting during the commercials
Yes will watch season12! Enjoy the different characters & the different family interactions.
My husband and I had never watched the series. During the pandemic we started watching and it is our favorite series. It is believable, the characters are people we can care about, not over played. The series’ moral values and the portrayal of a strong family unit is what we need to see.
We are so very pleased to know we will have another season with the Reagan’s. Please don’t take them away from us!
I hope blue bloods Never ends. It’s the only decent show on tv. And as far as the last show they should show the wedding we were all cheated out of. Or maybe show Danny and his sister getting remarried. That would be great. One big happy family they re in our hearts forever.
Love the show wsnt to see more of Joe’s son in the series
I missed the 1st hour of the series finale. Will the 11 season shows as reruns on ION channel? If not, where can I view the last 2 episodes? I love Blue Bloods & look forward to the 12 season showing
You can go to the CBS app. Watch for free
This is the best show ever watch Faithfully every Friday night I love it so interesting fun and exciting 1 of my favorite shows please keep it on the air it’s never a dull moment
This is the absolute best of anything shown on tv. Please never cancel the only good show left in the world.
It could have been the last, but I’m glad it was not let’s do more of Danny and Jamie working together.
Best show, best cast, real family! Please keep Blue Bloods alive. Never miss an episode.
Yes! So happy a family values show is going to keep running. We need this type of family interaction show these days especially. Love Blue Bloods.
Not a big fan of Whoopi.
Heck yes! If the “Simpsons” can have 32 seasons, I don’t see why “Blue Bloods” can’t have more than 12 seasons.
Please keep the seasons going
Love this show
Best cop show and drama on TV. Never miss an episode.
