Blue Bloods Finale Achieves Record Viewership Despite CBS Cancellation

The fan-favorite police drama Blue Bloods has officially wrapped up after 14 successful seasons on CBS, leaving viewers with a satisfying series finale titled “End of Tour.” Despite the show’s cancelation, it went out on a high note, drawing in a record-breaking 6.68 million viewers according to Variety. This marked a 15% increase in viewership from the previous season, showcasing the strong connection the show has with its audience.

Even in its final episode, Blue Bloods managed to outshine other scripted dramas airing on the same night. For example, Fire Country, a new CBS drama, only brought in 4.54 million viewers in comparison. Tom Selleck, a key figure in the show, expressed his confusion over CBS’s decision to end Blue Bloods, highlighting the show’s consistent performance in the ratings over the years.

As the numbers for the finale continue to climb, it’s clear that Blue Bloods still has a dedicated fan base. The Data from VideoAmp suggests that the final viewership numbers could reach as high as 11.94 million within the first week of airing. With such impressive ratings and fan support, there have been talks of a potential Blue Bloods spinoff, indicating that the beloved series may not be entirely over just yet.
