Abigail Hawk, who portrays Abigail Baker, Frank Reagan’s right-hand assistant on Blue Bloods, recently weighed in on the possibility of the series continuing on a different network after CBS decided to end its run. Since debuting in 2011, Blue Bloods has distinguished itself by centering on the Reagan family rather than a traditional police squad, which has endeared it to many fans. As the show’s final episodes air, viewers are grappling with its impending conclusion.
In an interview with Hello Magazine, Hawk addressed the speculation surrounding the show’s potential revival elsewhere. While she remains hopeful, she expressed skepticism about another network picking up the series. “I don’t think there’s a possibility of it going to another network,” she stated. “There’s been some chatter about that, but based on discussions with the cast and producers, it doesn’t seem like a viable option.”
Despite her doubts, she emphasized the importance of hope, saying, “We would all certainly drop everything to make that happen. At the end of the day, CBS can do whatever they want, but I hope they realize how commercially viable Blue Bloods is and how beloved it has become. There are still more stories to be told.”
The Reality of Blue Bloods Ending
After more than a decade on air, Blue Bloods has consistently been a staple of CBS’s primetime lineup. Though it has experienced a decline in viewership, which reflects broader trends in network television, it still ranked as the fourth highest-rated scripted series in 2024. Unfortunately, these impressive numbers did not influence CBS’s decision to cancel the show. The network is looking to refresh its lineup and cut costs, which has led to strong pushback from fans and cast members alike.
While there have been rumors about a possible spinoff, the likelihood of CBS reversing its decision, especially with only a few episodes left, seems slim. The focus now shifts to providing a proper send-off for the beloved series.
Final Thoughts on Blue Bloods
Alongside Blue Bloods, CBS has also canceled several other shows, including So Help Me Todd, NCIS: Hawai’i, and CSI: Vegas. Each cancellation has sparked backlash from fans, but Blue Bloods is at least receiving a chance for a meaningful conclusion. More than just a procedural drama, the series is celebrated for its portrayal of family dynamics, particularly through the iconic Reagan family dinners. Fans remain hopeful for a potential spinoff that could bring the family back to screens.
