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 proceduralβs 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 wonβt see Frankβs career progression, Dannyβs personal crossroads, Erin and Jackβs potential remarriage, or Jamie and Eddieβs journey into parenthood play out on screen.
CBS further disappointed fans by announcing that S.W.A.T. season 8 would take over Blue Bloodsβ 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 Bloodsβ 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 βHondoβ Harrelson to viewers at a later time heading into the weekend.
Both S.W.A.T. and Blue Bloods previously flanked CBSβ 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 Bloodsβ absence could diminish CBSβ overall Friday night appeal, as the long-running drama was one of the networkβs strongest anchors.
Only time will tell how the programming shift will impact CBS’ lineup, but one thing is certainβfans of Blue Bloods will feel the loss of the Reagan familyβs presence on their screens.
