In comments made during the 2024 Paramount Global Annual Meeting of Stockholders which is available to watch on the official website, Robbins said: “We are building tomorrow’s billion-dollar brands right now. In TV, new franchise extensions are coming for Dexter, Billions, and Blue Bloods, and CBS’ hit Fire Country shows huge promise.” The rest of the franchises mentioned in the quote, including Dexter and Billions, have already been confirmed to have spin-offs, with anticipation now rising about what may be in store for Blue Bloods fans.

Despite this not being a concrete confirmation of the series’ renewal, it does stand as noteworthy that the franchise would be mentioned as having a “New franchise extension,” especially considering CBS Entertainment President, Amy Reisenbach, had recently announced that Blue Bloods would be permanently laid to rest.

Reisenbach said: “We really want to thank the cast and crew, everyone involved in the show. We absolutely will miss the family dinners. It is important to give the show the sendoff it deserves. We love this cast, we love their passion for the show. All shows have to come to an end. It’s important to refresh the schedule. We are going to end the show come December.” Even Tom Selleck Didn’t Understand ‘Blue Bloods’ Cancellation After fourteen successful seasons, this Fall will see Blue Bloods bow out after its final eight episodes.

Selleck said: “I will continue to think that CBS will come to their senses. We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast. We’re winning the night. All the cast wants to come back. And I can tell you this: we aren’t sliding off down a cliff. We’re doing good shows and still holding our place.” What Could a ‘Blue Bloods’ Spin-Off Be About?

A spin-off of Blue Bloods is a much more likely outcome than the series being renewed in its entirety.

Despite East New York’s lack of success with executives, this leaves the gap open for a female-led police procedural set in New York City, and who better to head that up than one of Blue Bloods’ best characters? Blue Bloods will air its final eight episodes this December, with hope now that the franchise is not yet finished.

All episodes of Blue Bloods are available to stream on Paramount.
