As a dedicated gamer and avid follower of television news, I’m deeply disappointed by CBS’s handling of the Blue Bloods franchise. The announcement of the show’s cancellation in November 2023 came as a shock to fans, especially considering the series’ enduring popularity and strong ratings. Tom Selleck, one of the show’s stars, has been vocal about his belief that CBS is making a mistake by pulling the plug on the program.
Back in November 2023, CBS announced that the long-running police drama “Blue Bloods” would conclude with its 14th season. Fans have since expressed their disappointment, and they’re not alone – some of the show’s stars, including Tom Selleck, have also shared their concerns. Selleck has previously expressed his belief that the network is making a mistake and even suggested that the executives would eventually change their minds and keep the series running. Lately, there have been rumors of a possible spinoff. New information has emerged regarding the potential follow-up’s timeline, but I can’t help feeling that more careful planning could have been employed in this decision.
CBS Studios President David Stapf shared some insights on upcoming projects during an interview with Deadline. Among the topics discussed was the possible future of “Blue Bloods,” which is nearing the end of its current episode run with only eight episodes remaining. According to Stapf, while a continuation may be in the works, it’s unlikely to air soon.
The cherished brand, title, and series of “Blue Bloods” aren’t currently in production, but we’re dedicated to creating an excellent next phase. We’ll take our time to ensure a worthy successor, as this beloved show still has a full season to shine. Therefore, we’ll continue to honor its legacy throughout the upcoming episodes.
On the positive note, there seems to be a possibility that the fictional universe may persist in some capacity in the future, according to David Stapf’s remarks. However, it appears that the network isn’t in a rush to produce such a project. I can appreciate the importance of careful planning and attention to detail with a beloved IP. Still, it’s disappointing not to see a more expedited approach taken.
More on Blue Bloods
As a gamer, I can rephrase that in a casual and relatable way: “I’m not planning on hanging up my acting shoes just yet, you know? Hopefully, CBS will reconsider their decision about ‘Blue Bloods’.”
There are a few facts that need to be noted, and one of them is that Blue Bloods remains a highly popular show and a steady ratings earner for the Eye Network. As of right now, the show stands alongside the likes of S.W.A.T. and Fire Country. Another major franchise that would fall under that category is NCIS, which has two spinoffs that are currently in development. And, believe it or not, both of those offshoots were actually announced after the Tom Selleck-led procedural’s cancellation had been confirmed. (You may be able to tell where I’m going with this.)
If the producers of “BB” had been more prepared and dedicated to creating a follow-up series, the development process could have started earlier. This could have potentially led to the announcement of the spinoff alongside the parent show’s finale in 2025. While TV production is complex and requires patience, it’s plausible that a clearer plan could have expedited the arrival of the spinoff.
Currently, there’s no definitive news to share regarding the series. In the meantime, fans can only look forward to the upcoming episodes. Although it may seem far off for some, Donnie Wahlberg’s heartfelt message from the final day of filming serves as a reminder that the end is near. Fans remain optimistic about the possibility of a spinoff, and let’s hope that these last installments don’t signify the end of the Reagan family saga altogether. It’s unfortunate that a clearer plan for the future wasn’t established, but considering that discussions about a spinoff are underway, it could be viewed as a positive development.
The police drama “Blue Bloods” is coming back on October 18, 2024 at 10 p.m. Eastern Time on CBS as part of the new television lineup. If you’ve missed the first 10 episodes of Season 14 that have been broadcasted, you can watch them by subscribing to Paramount+.
