The numbers are in! The 100 most-watched TV shows of the 2024-2025 broadcast, cable and streaming season have been revealed, and Tom Selleck‘s Blue Bloods landed on the list, which may come as a shock considering the show was canceled after 14 seasons last year.

Variety shared the list, per Nielsen, of the shows that made the cut for “35-day multiplatform rankers in total viewers.” Several of CBS’ beloved series managed to rank, including Tracker, which landed at No. 3 on the list with 17.4 million in total 35-day viewing.

Additionally, the Kathy Bates-led CBS series, Matlock, earned the No. 6 spot on the list, with 16 million in total 35-day viewing.

Blue Bloods landed at No. 38 on the list with 10.1 million, with the data released five months after the show’s series finale aired on CBS. Since then, an offshoot starring Donnie Wahlberg was greenlit on the network. The show titled Boston Blue will also star Sonequa Martin-Green and Ernie Hudson. Still, fans are wondering if any other Blue Bloods cast members will be making cameos on the Boston-based series expansion.

“I know a lot of things, but I’m not gonna say any of them!” Donnie, 55, told Extra earlier this month. “I would just say that my first question when presented with this opportunity was, ‘Ok, where do we leave off with Blue Bloods and what does that mean going forward?’ So lots of things are happening at the end of Blue Bloods, and we will need updates on what’s happened since then, going forward. That’s all I can say.”

“I’m in a boyband. I’ve been in a boyband for 41 years,” he added. “I don’t even look 41. I know what the fans want, and I will not let them down.”

Of course, for many fans, wrapping their minds around Blue Bloods ending was tough, as they’d grown to love the Reagan family, who graced TV screens for more than a decade.

“There does seem to be a hole at 10:00 on Friday nights that I’m sure they will fill eventually, but it went out in the world and a lot of love came back over the 14 years that we did it,” showrunner Kevin Wade said while appearing on on CBS’ Book Club in January.

He also reflected on the show’s ending after the highly-anticipated series finale aired, which saw a lot of action within the hour timeframe.

“Look, if you’re running for 14 years and almost 300 episodes, you have, by osmosis, an idea of what feels like it works in the editing room and feels like it works on Friday night at 10,” he said to Deadline. “So, it’s kind of the Greatest Hits without being silly about it, of what we do, of the kind of stories that we do for Frank, for Jamie, Danny, [Erin]. The combining factor is the ones that we felt worked best and biggest as finales, had all of them pointed at the same case, dilemma, peril, jeopardy, whatever it was. We had talked about it a lot, especially Siobhan and I, and that’s what we came up with.”
