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?
Hope they don’t cancel! I watch this every Friday night! One of my fav shows
Keep the show on please I love watching family’s come together we don’t see this anymore I’m begging u not cancel the show this show is the best on CBS
A great show it finishes my week on a high note. I would like to see Danny and his partner get together as a couple
When Friday roles around, Blue Bloods is always a great way to end the week. So happy to hear Blue Bloods has been renewed. Last Friday’s finale episode could have worked as an end to the series, so glad that wasn’t the case.
My favorite show. So glad to hear it is coming back!
Excited it’s being renewed. I will be glued to the TV watching. Can’t wait!!
I’m a huge fan of Tom Selleck & Blue Bloods. I’ve been an avid watcher since the beginning! So happy it’s been renewed!
Such a good series, enjoy all the characters and the story lines. So glad it was renewed. Plan to watch it in the fall.
The VERY BEST show on TV without question!! Sooo many more tales of The Reagan Family to be told for a number of seasons to come!!!
I don’t miss an episode – never have. I want the show to continue for years! Love it!
My favorite show. I’m glad it was renewed.
Please don’t end this show. Best ever !!!!
We want to see More Blue Bloods. It is the Best Police Show on TV now!! Please do NOT cancel Blue Bloods!!!!!
They just found Joe’s son and not even all the family has got to meet him and they want to cancel the show.
I DON’T THINK SO
Besides there’s a story line where the Reagans win over Joe’s Mom and that will take 2 or 3 episodes
Love Bluebloods. Have always thought it was the best show on TV. This season’s finale was the greatest ever. So happy to look forward to season 12.
The best show on TV . The only show that I drop everything to make sure I don’t miss.
