Hey there, TV fans! Let's talk about a show that's been a beloved staple in our living rooms for years: 'Blue Bloods.' Many of you are wondering if the Reagan family will return with a brand-new season. Well, buckle up, because CBS has some news you might want to hear. Just two months after the season 14 finale aired, we're getting some clarity on the future of this iconic series.
What's the Deal With Season 15 of 'Blue Bloods'?
So here's the scoop: CBS has officially announced that 'Blue Bloods' will not be returning for a 15th season. But hold on, because there's a twist! They’ve revealed plans for a spin-off series, which is set to premiere during the 2025-2026 broadcast season. This means the Reagan family legacy is far from over, just taking on a fresh direction.
Season 14 of 'Blue Bloods' wrapped up in October 2024, and trust me, the cast and crew were as heartbroken as the fans about the cancellation. But even as the curtain closed on the final episodes, some stars of the show were still holding onto a glimmer of hope that another network might pick it up.

Abigail Hawk, one of the beloved cast members, shared her feelings with Screen Time. “Of course, we’re all sad about the decision. But hey, you never know what the future holds,” she said. “Even though the set has been dismantled, with the talent we have in this industry, rebuilding it wouldn’t take long if the opportunity arose.”
She added, “There’s still a tiny shred of hope buried deep in the haystack, and I’m hanging onto it. We’ve created something special, and I believe there’s still so much story to tell.”
Tom Selleck, the iconic heartthrob who plays Frank Reagan, was equally devastated. “We know it’s over, but as my memoir title says, 'You Never Know,'” Abigail reflected. “There’s a void left by our show, and I think eventually, the higher-ups will regret letting it go.”
Abigail believes that the characters in 'Blue Bloods' have so much more story to tell. “Life just keeps going, and that’s the beauty of these characters,” she explained. Clearly, the cast and crew are eager to continue exploring the rich tapestry of the Reagan family saga.
Get Ready for 'Boston Blue'
In February 2025, CBS unveiled plans for a 'Blue Bloods' spin-off called 'Boston Blue.' Fans will be thrilled to know that Donnie Wahlberg will reprise his role as Danny Reagan, this time as a Boston PD officer. The show promises to expand the universe of 'Blue Bloods' with fresh characters and storylines.
According to a CBS press release, “In 'BOSTON BLUE,' Donnie Wahlberg will step into the shoes of Danny Reagan once again, this time working with the Boston Police Department. He'll team up with detective Lena Peters, a member of another prominent law enforcement family.” It’s not yet clear if other 'Blue Bloods' stars will make guest appearances in the new series, but fans are already buzzing with excitement.

What Show Replaces 'Blue Bloods' in CBS's Friday Night Lineup?
CBS announced that 'S.W.A.T.' would step into the Friday, 10 p.m. time slot starting in January 2025. Starring the talented Shemar Moore, 'S.W.A.T.' is currently airing its eighth season and promises to keep viewers glued to their screens.
What's Next for the 'Blue Bloods' Cast?
With 'Blue Bloods' wrapping up, all eyes are on the talented cast to see what they do next. Tom Selleck hinted that he might revisit his beloved Jesse Stone character, a role fans have been clamoring for him to return to.
“It seems like I might need to start writing a new script for another Jesse Stone movie,” Tom told TV Insider in October 2024. “It wouldn’t be a final chapter, because everyone loves Jesse. He’s a great character, and it would be fascinating to explore where he is years later. But first, I need to regroup and figure out what’s next. Assuming the offers keep rolling in, I’ll keep working.”
Meanwhile, Donnie Wahlberg will be fully immersed in bringing 'Boston Blue' to life, continuing the legacy of the Reagan family in a whole new city.
