Boston Blue Spinoff Recasts Danny Reagan Son Ahead Premiere

The upcoming Blue Bloods spinoff, Boston Blue, will see the return of Donnie Wahlberg as Danny Reagan, who relocates to Boston alongside his son Sean Reagan, portrayed now by Mika Amonsen, replacing Andrew Terraciano. Sean Reagan's character takes a new creative direction as a patrolman in the Boston Police Department, seeking to uphold the family legacy on his own terms, which also motivates Danny's move. The spinoff will continue to focus on family dynamics, a core theme of Blue Bloods, while introducing new characters such as Detective Lena Silver and Superintendent Sarah Silver. Unlike Blue Bloods, which was filmed entirely on location in New York City, Boston Blue will primarily film in Toronto to reduce production costs, potentially impacting the show's authenticity. The transition to Boston and the recasting of Sean highlight the show's effort to develop new storylines while maintaining ties to the Reagan family legacy. Despite Blue Bloods' cancellation due to high costs and beliefs it had run its course, Boston Blue aims to carry forward its essence with fresh perspectives and characters.
