BLUE BLOODS Fans Campaign to Save Show from Cancellation
By Movieguide® Contributor
CBS announced last November that BLUE BLOODS would end after Season 14, but fans are doing all they can to keep their favorite show alive.
The fan-led “Save BLUE BLOODS” campaign hopes to encourage CBS to keep the show running.
X account, @SaveBlueBloods, “urges fans every week to tweet about the series to get it trending while new episodes air on Fridays, and it often tweets about the show’s ratings to keep the word out about how popular the show is among viewers,” TV Insider reported.
“Their aim is to ‘cancel the cancel,’ and they’re hoping social media noise and an online petition will help their efforts. It’s also in the process of collecting fan videos from set visits in New York that will be compiled as a tribute to the show,” the outlet added.
The account’s petition currently has over 12,000 signatures and hopes to attain even more.
It’s even gained the attention of BLUE BLOODS star Donnie Wahlberg, who shared multiple posts from @SaveBlueBloods.
When fans got #SaveBlueBloods to trend at no. 5 on X, Wahlberg tweeted, “You all never cease to amaze me.”

Walberg’s co-star, Tom Selleck, isn’t ready for the show to end either.
“CBS will find an awful lot of people aren’t ready to say goodbye to it. The show’s more popular than ever, and I think [numbers] will increase with the interest this year. We’re certainly not out of ideas,” he said. “I’m not counting the days so I can do something else. I love the work. Sometimes the hours are a little harder because I’m older, but so what? I want work as long as they’ll have me.”
As of right now, BLUE BLOODS will conclude with Season 14, which has been split into two parts. The first 10 episodes of the 18-episode season premiered on Feb. 16, and the final eight will release this fall.
Movieguide® previously reported:
BLUE BLOODS star Donnie Wahlberg is hinting that the hit show might not end after Season 14.
“Potentially,” Wahlberg teased when asked if Season 14 is BLUE BLOOD’s last. “There are rumblings, so we’ll see what happens.”
Per SiriusXM, “Donnie has played Detective Danny Reagan throughout the show’s run. BLUE BLOODS, which premiered in 2010, has been a staple of CBS’s primetime lineup for over a decade. The show follows the Reagan family, a multigenerational clan of law enforcement officers in New York City, as they navigate the complexities of both their professional and personal lives. Wahlberg’s character serves as a dedicated detective with a strong moral compass, often finding himself at the center of gripping cases and family drama.”
