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.

I LOVE BLUE BLOODS I BINGE WATCH DAILY, DON’T EVER STOP IT
Blue Bloods is the best series- the writing and character development is perfection. Thanks for keeping it coming!!
I don’t know what I would do without Blood Bloods to watch, THE best show on TV. I watch the reruns over and over and over and over…..and over again.
Me too
i would be crushed if the blue bloods series was cancelled. i am 89 years old & would not miss watching the series every friday night . i have never been a tv fan of any show. but this one is a lifetime winner. please promise me that you will never cqancel it.
Have followed Blue Bloods for years. Glad it will be back for another season! Do wish they would pick reruns from earlier seasons that we didn’t see!
My mom and I love watching Blue Bloods. We are hoping that season 8 is a go please renew bluebloods for an 8th season we will be waiting
Keep my wife and I happy and keep the best show on TV that has a purpose. Great stories with a fantastic cast.
One/if not the best show on t.v.
One of the BEST shows on TV. So thankful it will be back for another season. Need more shows that are not filled with sex, nasty jokes, etc. I LOVE this show!!
We sure do. This show does that. Maybe other writers will realize they don’t need sex and foul language. To get ratings. These writers get it.
Great show. This is the only show my news and sports junkie husband will watch. Can’t wait for Season 8.
Great show. Please keep it on the air.
I can’t wait to see season 8 of Blue Bloods. This TV drama is my Husband and my favorite show. We would love to see more romantic involvement between Jamie and Eddie. We love all of the characters!
I enjoy a relaxing Friday night watching Blue Bloods because unlike some other police dramas, this one does not have gruesome visuals. It’s a fine family show with good family values. I could do without the constant catholic references, but the Sunday dinners are quite enjoyable. But they do need to have Jamie moving up the ladder. It’s embarrassing watching a Harvard graduate still being a beat cop after 7 years!
