After 14 seasons of gripping police drama, Blue Bloods officially wrapped up in December 2024, marking the end of a beloved chapter in CBS’s history.

The End of “Blue Bloods”: A Final Chapter for the Long-Running Series
Blue Bloods premiered in 2010 and quickly became one of the most popular police procedurals on television. The series, which explored the lives and work of the Reagan family — New York’s finest law enforcement officers — was praised for its portrayal of family values, loyalty, and justice.
After 14 seasons, CBS made the decision to conclude the show, citing rising production costs and a decline in audience demand. Despite this, loyal fans of the series will not be left empty-handed. With the end of Blue Bloods, CBS has announced the launch of Boston Blue, a spin-off set to extend the world of Blue Bloods into a new city and new adventures.

While the show will introduce new characters and a different setting, it will still carry the core values of family and justice that made Blue Bloods so beloved.
