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?
Love this show especially about how the Reagan family react with each other. My favorite part is at the dinner table where there is always some ” food for thought “. Reminds me of my upbringing and how I continue the tradition of prayer and everyone sharing there day. Please keep this show going.

It is so refreshing to see a show that has family values. I love the Sunday night dinner scenes. So happy it is renewed for an 8th season!!!!
Can’t wait!!! Let’s bring it on!. Greetings from Sweden
Blue Bloods is the only show on television that has the recurring theme of the profound strength in loyalty; to God, to country, to family, and to the community in which we live. It is the only show that has a family meal, a prayer, and moral themes in every show. This show reminds us of the things we value and long for in our own lives.
Best show on TV!!
This is a great show for people who still appreciate the importance of family values. It really makes a statement in today’s society that a show like this can last seven seasons, in spite of the fact that there’s no need to use sexual situations or profanity to produce a fast moving, well produced show. Kudos. Please bring Blue Bloods back for another season.
Absolutely will be awaiting the new season. This is our one program which we faithfully watch. Great family, great values, great scripts.
Only show I a lot time for weekly. Strong characters throughout cast. look forward to season 8.
Likee wine, this show only gets better as the characters are fleshed out more each year. We record it weekly so as not to miss an episode. Maybe this show can stay on the air until Jamie “top cop”
I love blue bloods I have watched this show for years I hope it never gets cancelled
