As Blue Bloods wrapped up its final season, it left several key storylines unresolved, proving the show still had plenty of material to continue. Ultimately, the beloved proceduralโs cancellation came down to rising production costs, particularly the increasing salaries of its long-standing cast. Given the loyalty of the Blue Bloods ensemble, it’s unfortunate that fans wonโt see Frankโs career progression, Dannyโs personal crossroads, Erin and Jackโs potential remarriage, or Jamie and Eddieโs journey into parenthood play out on screen.
CBS further disappointed fans by announcing that S.W.A.T. season 8 would take over Blue Bloodsโ former time slot after its midseason return. Initially, S.W.A.T. aired the first half of its season on Fridays at 8 PM Eastern, while Blue Bloodsโ final season occupied the 10 PM slot. However, once S.W.A.T. returns from its break, it will shift to the 10 PM Friday slot previously held by Blue Bloods, bringing Sergeant Daniel โHondoโ Harrelson to viewers at a later time heading into the weekend.
Both S.W.A.T. and Blue Bloods previously flanked CBSโ popular firefighting drama Fire Country, which remains in its 9 PM Eastern slot. While S.W.A.T. may experience some initial disruption from the schedule change, the move could also help it attract new viewers. However, Blue Bloodsโ absence could diminish CBSโ overall Friday night appeal, as the long-running drama was one of the networkโs strongest anchors.
Only time will tell how the programming shift will impact CBS’ lineup, but one thing is certainโfans of Blue Bloods will feel the loss of the Reagan familyโs presence on their screens.
