We are delighted that Tom will return and that the show will continue to be a vital component of the CBS schedule next season.”

Airing Friday nights, “Blue Bloods” has averaged around 8.5 million viewers in the live + same day ratings this season, making it the eleventh-most-watched scripted show on TV right now.

In addition to “Blue Bloods” and “NCIS,” CBS has also renewed several other titles for next season, including “The Neighborhood,” “God Friended Me,” “Mom,” “Young Sheldon,” “Criminal Minds,” and “FBI.”
