Now I Understand The Real Reason Why CBS Canceled Blue Bloods But Is Still Doing Danny’s Spinoff

The Blue Bloods universe lives on via its upcoming spinoff, Boston Blue, and months after CBS canceled the flagship show, I finally understand why the network made this decision. Following 14 seasons and almost 300 episodes, Blue Bloods came to an end in December 2024. Many were upset, of course, and then they were confused when CBS ordered the aforementioned offshoot.

Boston Blue will feature the return of Donnie Wahlberg as Danny Reagan, one of the most important characters in Blue Bloods. Fans were happy that Danny was returning to their screens, but also wondered why CBS would cancel Blue Bloods just to order a spinoff revolving around Danny. Thankfully, I have some answers (although they might not be a comfort).
