"Blue Bloods" Season 7 remains as one of the top performing shows on CBS but fans cannot help but worry about the series' future on air. While Tom Selleck recently signed a new deal with the network, will Season 7 be the last for the cop drama?
"Blue Bloods" Season 7 has just begun production with the recent announcement of the return of Tom Selleck for the role of Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, reports Deadline. According to the publication, the show remains as one of the highest rated series on air despite the fact that it airs during Friday nights on CBS.
The show received an average of 13.1 million viewers with a 1.8 rating in adults 18-49 in "Blue Bloods" Season 6. The publication notes that the show is also one of the most-watched scripted series after "Law & Order: SVU" from the same network.
Despite the consistently good ratings for "Blue Bloods" throughout the seasons, Carter Matt notes on the possibility that Season 7 will be its last or close to the series finale. The publication stated that the ratings for the show experienced a slow decline throughout the season, but it remains as one of the most watched series on air.
However, many fans can recall that shows do not get cancelled because of ratings alone. According to the publication, "Blue Bloods" Season 7 may be its last or close to the finale because the production for the series can get a bit too pricey.
Tom Selleck is also one of the show's leading stars and it is very likely that the actor is being paid more than the rest of the other stars. Production for "Blue Bloods" Season 7 can get even more expensive as that is often the case with longtime running shows on TV.
