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.
My favorite show!!! It at least needs one more season!! I finally got CBS all access so I can get caught up. Tom Selleck is my absolute favorite actor.
GREAT GREAT GREAT!!! show. I haven’t missed an episode since it started. I wouldn’t know what to do without Blue Bloods. The drama, the acting and the show itself is GREAT! I love how the kids are growing up with the show which happens in real life. There can’t be enough said about this show. Everyone here loves it and are very much looking forward to season 10 A show that teaches values,what family is and should be and teaches some very true to life lessons. Just so awesome to watch. Keep it going PLEASE!
Time to cancel. It has run it’s course. Remember Murder she wrote had decent ratings but suffered death by demographics. The key rating is dropping. Personally I’m finding the story line decaying.
cancel it. It’s time for it to go. I realize it has a following, but the ratings are beginning to sag and the stories are getting harder to watch.
Blue Bloods is one of the best shows on TV and should definitely be renewed. I am a CBS Access subscriber and will ditch the network in a hurry if they don’t renew Blue Bloods
My favorite show please keep it on. The best show ever!
I love this show. Need to keep it on.
One of the better show on tv. Don’t watch any of the reality dribble. Keep blue bloods on.
This is one of my favorite shows! It’s always interesting and I believe that the cast and writers have more to give in season/seasons to come! This show is great work on all ends!
Absolutely love this show. Hope it’s not cancelled. Please keep the episodes coming.
Blue Bloods was my favorite show until they killed off Donny’s TV wife. Never watched another show.
Danny found out that Linda was murdered and after he caught the bad guy on last Friday episode he removed his wedding ring. I will be boycotting bluebloods in my family.I don’t feel like as a fan of Linda Reagan we got any closure in regards to her death
It was my favorite show until they killed off Donny’s TV wife. Wow, I never watched another show.
It’s one of my favorite shows. Watch each week and never miss a rerun.
Love the show from day one. I just wish it was aired an hour earlier and on a Thursday night. Most people go out on Friday nights and that will definitely effect ratings. Keep em around please.
I sincerely hope Blue Bloods stays at least one more season. I will be so disappointed because I think they have so much more to give.
