Why is ‘Blue Bloods’ Being Canceled?

The cancellation of “Blue Bloods” is undoubtedly disappointing for fans who have been following the Reagan family’s exploits since 2010.

The show has continuously been a top performer for CBS and has been a hit on Paramount+.

Though the cop program has always been a successful CBS offering, the network wanted to save money for Season 14, which is now slated to be its final.

It was claimed earlier this year that CBS would be interested in Season 14 if considerable budget savings were made.

Salary cutbacks of up to 25% were purportedly implemented for major actors and producers. With a smaller budget, the network opted to go forward with the fourteenth season of the show.

According to Deadline, the decision to make Season 14 the final “Blue Bloods” chapter was made when the SAG-AFTRA strike ended in early November. CBS is also canceling “Young Sheldon,” its beloved “The Big Bang Theory” prequel/spin-off.

While fans may be frustrated that “Blue Bloods” has been compelled to include the badge, there is something to be said for the series receiving a final season, which most shows don’t get these days.

With the announcement, series star Tom Selleck issued a statement bidding goodbye to both fans and the creative forces behind the CBS series.

“Working with these wonderful actors, writers, producers, directors, and crew has been a dream come true for the actor, and he is thrilled to have been a part of this extraordinary ensemble for over 275 episodes,” he said.

  1. I have been an instant fan of Blue Bloods. It broke my heart to find out that it’s going to end, but I guess everything comes to an end eventually. I will miss the Reagan family dinners.

  2. Will miss the show-hopefully they will have the reruns on another station-CBS you are going down-canceling a lot of shows!

  3. Dear CBS I have never been more disappointed CBS is the channel that I’ve watched 98% of my shows on all my life I am so horrified that you are taking Blue Bloods off the best show you’ve had since 2010 couldn’t ask for better people that makes up the cast of Blue Bloods the show is amazing I know the elderly will miss it for one thing it don’t have all the language that most shows have it’s a clean show and a show with morals I’m sure there’s some other garbage shows on CBS that you can cancel and leave Blue Bloods on the air I’m disappointed in your actions

  4. As another Loyal CBS watcher has stated, as an elderly woman who has faithfully watched Blue Bloods I am very disappointed in your decision to cancel the best tv show ever. It is my understanding that NCIS is also coming to an end. To what end are you canceling good, clean shoes only to fill in with filthy language and unseeable shows. Shame on you! Hey NBC OR ABC, How about picking up these shows?!!!!
