In an unexpected twist of behind-the-scenes drama, tensions between the casts of NCIS and Blue Bloods have reportedly hit a boiling point. While both shows have reigned supreme on CBS for years and share loyal fanbases, recent reports suggest that a fierce rivalry has been brewing—not just in ratings, but among the stars themselves. It all allegedly started with comments made during a press event, where a Blue Bloods cast member jokingly referred to NCIS as “the show that just won’t end,” which didn’t sit well with the NCIS crew.
Insiders claim the jab sparked a wave of subtle shade exchanged in interviews, with NCIS stars pointing out their show’s legacy, spinoffs, and cultural impact. Meanwhile, the Blue Bloods team has been doubling down on their show’s “family-first” authenticity and strong ensemble cast. While no one has called out anyone by name, the passive-aggressive tension has fans reading between the lines. Some crew members even say that crossover events between the shows were floated—and quietly shot down due to rising egos and behind-the-scenes friction.
Though CBS has remained tight-lipped, trying to keep things professional, the whispers are growing louder. With both shows facing questions about their futures, it seems the competition isn’t just about ratings anymore—it’s personal. Whether it’s just playful banter or something deeper, one thing’s clear: the rivalry between NCIS and Blue Bloods is heating up, and fans are eating it up.
