Last year, the Blue Bloods TV show was ranked in the bottom half of scripted CBS programming in terms of its demo numbers, but where total viewership was concerned, it ranked fifth. Now in that it’s in its ninth season though, it seems likely the series will end sooner rather than later. How far off is that day? Will Blue Bloods be cancelled or renewed for season 10? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A CBS police procedural, Blue Bloods stars Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Marisa Ramirez, Sami Gayle, and Vanessa Ray. The family drama centers on the Irish-American Reagans, a multi-generational clan of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. New York Police Commissioner Frank Reagan (Selleck) leads both the police force and his brood.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

For comparisons: The eighth season of Blue Bloods averaged a 0.91 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 9.078 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Blue Bloods TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a 10th season on CBS?
4/12/19 update: CBS has renewed the Blue Bloods TV show for a 10th season.

The ratings aren’t good, but they aren’t bad enough to get it cancelled.
I would love to see Linda come back. I’m going to say that I think that she has been held hostage for the last year and did not die in a helicopter crash. That way she could come back. That could open up some exciting storyline.
This is the only show i care about. …..please keep on keeping on. Great story with excellent actors! !
Kudos to the brilliant writers, actors and especially to everyone (are they called cinematographers?) who contribute to the “cold” opening that always begins with a stunningly beautiful iconic shot of New York that is always a visual gift for the senses. (I make sure I watch the whole commervial so that I don’t miss yet another gift of a few seconds of NYC that is so beautiful that you wish you could frame and keep them, when the show contnues. >Are you listening advertisers?<) No other show of this calibre and genre comes close.
