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.
I love the show I really hope is doesn’t get cancelled anytime soon
I love watching Blue Bloods every Friday, as well as reruns on Wednesday. I would be very disappointed if it were cancelled.
The best TV series ever! After MASH
I love Blue Bloods. I have watched every episode, of every season. The Reagans are family. Every actor/actress on this great family show, are wonderful, and play their parts to the fullest….
Please do not cancel the best show on TV.
(It will break my heart!)
Love the show, watched from the very beginning season. Great Friday night program. RENEW
We and many of our friends watch Blue Bloods faithfully and love the program. We hope there will be more seasons!
I only watch CBS. Blue Bloods has got to stay!
This is the best show on CBS! I look forward to each episode! It’s a keeper!!!!!
I love Blue Bloods, I look forward to seeing it every Friday night. I sometimes fall to sleep but then I watch the recording on Saturday. It is the best show on TV. I am looking forward to the remainder of Season 9 and the beginning of Season 10.
I think that the producer of bluebloods has sliced and diced the show we loved. It basically is a police talk show now with 0 action!!
Blue Bloods is the best TV program since sliced bread and Gunsmoke. With their ratings as high as they are, come on CBS, don’t even give it a second thought on cancelling them.
Blue Bloods is the only show we watch on network television.
I absolutely love a Blue Blood. I am going to be very disappointed if it is not renewed. It is the best show on TV. I get to watch it all day on Wednesday and the rest of the week has reruns but the station it is on was dropped by our contact on this particular channel. I sometimes watch it on Friday night but it does not come on until 10:00 pm and I head for bed around that time or at least by 10:30. Maybe when season 10 starts I will be able to watch season 9 on… Read more »
