The long-running CBS police drama Blue Bloods has ended after 14 seasons, and fans are not happy with how it wrapped up. The finale featured shocking events, including a brutal murder, a surprise wedding, and a major baby announcement. Officer Eddie Janko-Reagan and her partner Luis were attacked, resulting in Luis’s death, while Erin Reagan remarried her ex-husband Jack. Meanwhile, Eddie and Jamie Reagan revealed they are expecting a child, leaving fans with mixed emotions about the abrupt conclusion.
The decision to end the show was met with disappointment from both viewers and cast members. Tom Selleck, who played Frank Reagan, was vocal about his frustration with CBS, arguing that the show was still successful and deserved more seasons. Donnie Wahlberg (Danny Reagan) also became emotional during the final days of filming, as the cast and crew had grown close over the years. Fans have since flooded social media with demands for a spin-off to continue the Reagan family’s story.
In response to the backlash, CBS announced Boston Blue, a spin-off series centered on Danny Reagan’s move to Boston, where he partners with Detective Lena Peters, a member of another prominent law enforcement family. The show, set to premiere in the 2025-2026 season, aims to carry on the Blue Bloods legacy while introducing new characters and conflicts. This news has provided some hope for fans who were left dissatisfied with the series finale.
Throughout its run, Blue Bloods faced criticism for certain creative choices. The Season 9 finale, for example, upset fans by cutting off Jamie and Eddie’s wedding before they exchanged vows. Many also felt that the show lacked a compelling long-term villain to challenge the Reagan family. Despite these issues, the series maintained a loyal following, and Boston Blue may give audiences the continuation they’ve been hoping for.
