Donnie Wahlberg Stars Blue Bloods Spinoff Boston Blue Premiering Fall

Following the 2024 cancellation of Blue Bloods after 14 seasons, Donnie Wahlberg, who portrayed Danny Reagan, expressed deep sadness but is now embracing the forthcoming spinoff, Boston Blue, which will continue Danny's story as he transitions to the Boston Police Department. Wahlberg admitted the end of Blue Bloods was emotionally difficult, but he has come to view Boston Blue as a way to honor and carry forward the legacy of the original series. The new show, premiering on CBS in fall 2025, will feature Wahlberg's character partnered with Lena Peters, played by Sonequa Martin-Green, whose casting Wahlberg described as the perfect choice despite not being the initial pick. Wahlberg and Martin-Green have established a strong rapport, and he has promised fans that Boston Blue will deliver updates on events following Blue Bloods and honor the beloved Reagan family traditions. Jenny McCarthy, Wahlberg's wife, publicly praised his leadership and heart in bringing the new series to life, highlighting the excitement surrounding the project. While Wahlberg remains tight-lipped about potential cameos from original cast members, he is committed to meeting fan expectations and continuing the story with optimism and hope.
