Blue Bloods‘ downfall was its production costs, which reportedly played a significant factor in CBS canceling the show. Although it continued to perform well in the ratings throughout its run, its budget was evidently too high for the network. As such, Blue Bloods released its series finale in late 2024, but it has taken on new life half a year later.
Blue Bloods Is Currently #4 On Paramount+’s Top 10 Most-Streamed TV Shows
The Show Is Trending Months After Its Finale
According to a report from Flix Patrol, Blue Bloods sits at number four on Paramount+’s list of Top 10 TV Shows on Monday, July 7, 2025. Only South Park, MobLand, and Yellowstone were placed higher. So, despite ending more than six months ago, the Tom Selleck TV show is rising in the ranks on its streaming service.
Blue Bloods Continues To Gain A New Audience Even After Its Cancelation
A TV Show’s Popularity Usually Doesn’t Increase After It Has Already Ended
Given that Blue Bloods ran for 14 years on CBS, most of its loyal audience tuned in to its finale in December 2024. The show’s longevity suggests that it already had all the viewership it was ever going to get on the broadcast network, and most of them likely aren’t reliving the glory days on Paramount+ almost seven months later.
Perhaps CBS was wrong to cancel Blue Bloods all along.
One has to assume that Blue Bloods is pulling in a new audience on the streaming service, which is why it sits at number four on the list of Top 10 TV Shows on Paramount+ on July 7. A fresh set of eyeballs are watching the crime drama. This is a rare accomplishment that only proves how impactful Blue Bloods can be.
