Despite the fact that it airs on Friday nights, Blue Bloods has continued to be a ratings success story for CBS. However, scripted shows tend to get more expensive as the years wear on. How long will this police family drama continue? Will it be cancelled or will it be renewed for an eighth season? Stay tuned.
Blue Bloods revolves around the Irish-American Reagans, a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. The cast includes Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Amy Carlson, Sami Gayle, Vanessa Ray, and Marisa Ramirez.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly 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.
3/23 update: Blue Bloods has been renewed for an eighth season. Details here.

For comparisons: The sixth season of Blue Bloods averaged a 1.24 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.50 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? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season eight on CBS?
One of the best shows on TV. The Reagan family is truly a class act. Definitely should be a season 8.
This show is a part of the kick off to my weekend. My husband amd I so enjoy it. I do not want to see the show end. Please keep it on. I am tired of the trash of the other shows. This show is well done and shows family togetherness and love of family.
We soooo enjoy this show. Hope it continues as it is one of our favorites. Love the family values and the moral ethics. Gives hopeful outlook in a world so unleashed.
Love ❤️ the show. Excellent writers and actors. Wish season 8 would start soon.
I love the show it is such a great show and the cast is terrific
I love the show…quality series and family togetherness is a plus. It’s an unique show and don’t miss it every Friday night. It would be a shame to cancel but if they decide to…don’t kill off any characters….for there can always be a reunion.
BEST show ever………..keep them coming. It would be a shame to have
this show cancelled.
Although I love all of the cast members, they are perfect, I’m not certain that the show would survive without Tom Selleck. In today’s world, we are sorely lacking and in need of examples of moral leadership and fair and even justice — this show is the only show on television where we can get this reliably every week. It’s one of the only places we can see the type of statesmanship our leaders used to have, and feel like the world still makes some sense. Our valiant policemen all over our nation and all over the world will never… Read more »
Best show ever, been watching and recording since the beginning. It’s wholesome and entertaining and we just love the chemistry of the characters. As much as I would hate to see Tom go, I think the show would survive without him.
If the ratings are good, don’t mess with it.
It’s the only thing worth watching these days.
Please,please keep this show on I love this show Tom Selleck is great as the whole cast is wonderful. It would be a real shame to cancel BlueBloods

Needs to be kept on only good show on Friday night
Selleck is the cement that holds the show together. He should be paid what it is worth for the show to continue as should all the actors. If some of the stars on comedies are making a million plus, I believe these dramas should be as well funded. For a change, let the networks continue to put something on television that requires a brain.
Totally renewed
This is the only show on Prime time that I watch and I love it! Please keep it on.
My husband and I love Blue Bloods. One of our favorite show. Please keep it coming.
