Although the show has seen a recent drop in ratings, it has remained a fan-favorite on the work, and just head of its renewal, several of the series' stars indicated their desire to keep the show going for many more seasons. Speaking with PopCulture in February 2020, Donnie Wahlberg said, "It's still the number one show on Friday night for 10 years and it's been a great run and I don't see it stopping anytime soon." In March of this year, Marisa Ramirez expressed a similar sentiment.
"It just keeps going. It keeps going," Ramirez, who plays Det. Maria Baez, said. "I mean, honestly, I'm still in shock that I've been here eight years. It's insane. It just keeps going. I don't really know what's going to happen."
Created by Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess, Blue Bloods initially debuted on CBS 2010. The series follows the Reagan family, an Irish-American Catholic family in New York City with a history of work in law enforcement. Along with Wahlberg and Ramirez, the series also stars Tom Selleck, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, and Len Cariou. Kevin Wade, Ian Biederman, Brian Burns, Siobhan Byrne-O'Connor, and Dan Truly serve as executive producers.
Blue Bloods joins the lucky list of renewed CBS series, with the network having previously renewed Bob Hearts Abishola, The Equalizer, FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, The Neighborhood, Survivor, Tough as Nails (for two additional seasons), and Young Sheldon (for three additional seasons). New episodes of Blue Bloods air Fridays at 10 p.m. ET on ABC. Fans can catch up on all seasons of the series on Paramount+, which you can subscribe to with a free trial by clicking here.
