Donnie Wahlberg Steps Into the Bitter New York-Boston Divide with New Series, 'Boston Blue'

The CBS spin-off features Donnie Wahlberg as NYPD detective Danny Reagan navigating Boston's culture in a new cast, continuing Blue Bloods' 14-season legacy.

  • Donnie Wahlberg is starring in a CBS spinoff called Boston Blue that moves Danny Reagan to Boston to continue the Blue Bloods story, as the original series ran for 14 seasons.
  • Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis developed the spin-off to continue the franchise because Sonnier was a longtime Blue Bloods fan.
  • The pilot features a Boston ensemble including Bridget Moynahan, Ernie Hudson, Gloria Reuben, Marcus Scribner and Maggie Lawson, with scenes at Fenway Park amid Boston filming pressure.
  • Danny Reagan remains a New Yorker on screen even after moving to Boston, and Donnie Wahlberg says carrying on the role is exciting but challenging as he hides his Red Sox fandom while portraying a Mets fan.
  • The series aims to depict family, faith, and tradition through a multigenerational, multifaith, multiracial Boston family, expanding the Blue Bloods franchise while exploring regional dynamics.
