CBS may have officially ended Blue Bloods, but the series is experiencing an unexpected revival months after its December 2024 finale. The long-running police drama, which premiered in 2010, delivered 14 seasons and nearly 300 episodes, remaining a ratings powerhouse throughout its run. Still, despite its loyal fanbase, rising production costs ultimately pushed CBS to end the show.
But the Blue Bloods universe is far from finished. The highly anticipated spinoff, Boston Blue, featuring Donnie Wahlberg reprising his role as Danny Reagan, is set to premiere in fall 2025, airing Fridays at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.
At the same time, the original series is thriving on streaming platforms. According to Flix Patrol, Blue Bloods reached #4 on Paramount+’s Top 10 TV Shows list on Monday, July 7, 2025 
trailing only South Park, MobLand, and Yellowstone. This impressive resurgence comes more than six months after the show concluded, making the renewed attention even more remarkable.
The surge in streaming numbers suggests that Blue Bloods is attracting a brand-new audience, not just longtime fans revisiting the series. Many viewers have insisted that CBS made the wrong call in canceling the show and its strong streaming performance is helping reinforce that very point.
