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?
Blue Blood replaced NCIS after 18 seasons as my # 1 show. I hope it’s around till Kamie becomes PC

The last show pointed out their greatest resource-eachbither. Think it was Danny who criticized hisxfatger Frank for not keeping the whole family in the loop about Joe Hill being undercover. And Danny was right to pool all minds and ALL the family agreed in the end. And Joe was saved from the same fate as his father. Keep it running. I wanna see how if and how their different skills… Read more »

Show not shoe
That last two shows were awesome! I’m hooked on Blue Bloods. Love the shoe
I am a fan, I love all the characters in the show, I especially love the dinner part where they all sit down as a family, I really love the show…..
I adore Blue Bloods and will continue to view always. We actually go to dinner early so we can watch it live. It is one of the few shows we do not tape. Tom Selleck and team are amazing and love the writing. My wish is we get him married !!!
Die-hard fans of the show. We have watched every episode and look forward to the new ones in the Fall of 2021. Sharing the last name of Higgins caught our attention from the first episode we watched.
I absolutely love this show! I hope they continue this for at least another 12 seasons. Even though I’m 40, it’s an old school cop show which I love and to have Tom Selleck?! Why would you stop. I love all the characters and they really make it!!plus I’m Irish and I love the nod to us
I’m really glad the show has been renewed ! Love all of the characters, love the storyline, love the show!
I also have been a fan of BB since the beginning, its one of the only show I look forward to and even watch it over through the week. The cast, writer’s, all are the best. Please keep going don’t stop. Best show on TV.
Love this show. Would have been very disappointed if it had ended. The interactions of actors and stories are very well acted and written. Casting is great! Have been watching Tom S. for years; in everything he’s been in.
PLEASE keep the show going! Without writing a book, i can’t begin to say enough good about the show and the characters!
I love everything about this Show.and everyone.
I’m very happy that the time has been extended
