Was your favorite CBS TV show just cancelled? Odds are? No. The Tiffany Network just issued early renewals to a slew of new and returning TV series and Blue Bloods topped the list. That’s right, fans. The Blue Bloods TV show has been renewed for an eighth season.
A CBS family and police procedural drama, Blue Bloods stars Tom Selleck, Bridget Moynahan, Donnie Wahlberg, Marisa Ramirez, Amy Carlson, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Sami Gayle, and Vanessa Ray.
The seventh season of Blue Bloods is averaging a 1.19 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.12 million viewers. Compared to season six, that’s down by 4% in the demo and down by 4% in terms of total viewers, so the renewal comes as no surprise.

What do you think? Are you a fan of the Blue Bloods TV series? Do you plan to watch the eighth season on CBS?
Blue Bloods is without a doubt the favorite show that my wife and I watch. We record and watch the re-runs as well. Glad to hear they are renewing for 2017-2018.
We also love Blue Bloods and watch it everynight it’s on. Sitting in front of the TV with dinner, our favorite show by far. When meeting with our friends we always compare notes on the shows we watched and the ones we sadly missed.
We LOVE Blue Bloods and are very, very sad that there won’t be any more after the 8th season!! Somehow, we missed the program where it is announced that Linda was killed in a helicopter crash. Where can we see this episode?
I love Blue Bloods. Love the family values. Love all the characters. Tom Selleck is great!
Love the show hope it goes on forever
ditto that!!!
Yes. I love this show
Yes for the most part.
Iam a huge fan of blue bloods. Can you tell me what happened to Amy Carlosn?
Each week I look forward to watching Blue Bloods. It has a moral compass that is missing in most shows. Yes, I will continue to watch it and the reruns on NetFlix in the off season. Great actors. By the way, It actually is the only TV series that I consistently watch.
What happened to Linda? I was late watching the show last week and all of a sudden Sunday dinner was missing Danny’s wife. She was a great match for him and played her part so well. Also how did she die? I always watch this show and was so disappointed this last show especially that I missed the beginning and Linda was gone.
Great story lines. Excellent actors
I LOVE LOVE Blue Bloods..It is one of the best ever shows I’ve seen in a long long time and I think all the actors are the GREATEST…Even though Linda was took off the show I hope she will be reincarnated and comes back to the show..She is a very Beautiful woman and probably the only one that could put up with her bipolar husband…I hate it when Danny yells at Linda she is so so sweet..She’d have to be..I wish y’all would put her back on the show…Keep up the GREAT work…..
Yes I am a fan of Blue Bloods… I watched it last night 9/29/2017… did I miss the final episode or what.? What happened to Linda and why did she leave?
I absolutely LOVE Blue Bloods. The cast is phenomenal & I will be very upset if it’s ever cancelled. This show is so real & unlike any other show on TV. Anybody should be able to relate to it. I have all shows recorded & have seen every one of them at least 4 times. I know it’s a mute point, but I do wish Jennifer Esposito was still on there. The person that took her place is good, but just not the same as Jennifer. Please don’t ever take this show off the air. I can never decide who… Read more »
We love this show and hope it remains for next season. Look forward to Friday nites!
I have just started to watch blue bloods this past year. Usually I don’t watch t.v. series. Now I’m watching reruns as well as Friday nights. Glad they renewed.
