CBS Adds Two New NCIS Spinoffs, Yet Claims Budget Constraints to Renew Blue Bloods: Fans Outraged.
In a surprising move, CBS and its parent company Paramount have announced plans to introduce two new NCIS spinoffs for the upcoming season. However, this announcement has sparked frustration among loyal fans of “Blue Bloods” as CBS has simultaneously stated that financial constraints might prevent them from renewing the long-running police drama.
“Blue Bloods,” starring Tom Selleck, has been a staple of CBS’s lineup since its debut in 2010, offering viewers a mix of family drama and procedural crime-solving that has earned it a dedicated following. Despite consistent ratings, CBS’s claim of being “financially strapped” is being questioned, especially given the network’s readiness to expand the NCIS universe with two new shows.
The NCIS franchise has long been a ratings powerhouse for CBS, with multiple spinoffs, including NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: Hawai’i, finding success alongside the flagship series. The two additional spinoffs are reportedly part of CBS’s strategy to capitalize further on the established fanbase of the NCIS universe. However, fans argue that “Blue Bloods,” with its unique storytelling and focus on family values, deserves the same level of investment and respect.
Social media platforms are buzzing with demands for CBS to prioritize “Blue Bloods” over yet another NCIS expansion. Fans argue that the long-standing loyalty to “Blue Bloods” deserves consideration, especially in light of the show’s consistent ratings and its reputation for delivering solid viewership numbers.
As CBS moves forward with its new NCIS projects, many are left wondering if “Blue Bloods” will receive the renewal it has earned over more than a decade on air. The network has yet to issue a final decision, leaving fans eagerly awaiting any updates on the fate of the beloved series.
