A Reagan Returns: First look at the beloved ‘Blue Bloods’ character in Boston Blue-Based Spinoff
After nearly 15 years, Blue Bloods ended last year, but the story continues with a spinoff starring Donnie Wahlberg as Danny Reagan. Boston Blue premieres on CBS Friday, October 17, at 10 PM ET. The new series follows Reagan as he moves to Boston and teams up with a law enforcement family’s eldest daughter.
The official Blue Bloods Instagram recently shared videos of Wahlberg giving a tour of the Boston Blue set and introducing his new co-star, Sonequa Martin-Green, who plays Lena Silver. Another clip shows Wahlberg’s first day on set, humorously shifting into his character with a new look.
What to Expect from Boston Blue
The Boston Blue cast includes Martin-Green (Star Trek: Discovery), Maggie Lawson, Marcus Scribner, Gloria Reuben, and Ernie Hudson. Produced by CBS Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer Television, the showrunners are Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis. Wahlberg, Bruckheimer, and KristieAnne Reed also executive produce, with the series streaming on Paramount+.
Bridget Moynahan returns as Erin Reagan in the premiere, and Danny’s son Sean appears in a recast role. Wahlberg’s Danny shows some changes in style, opting for gray suits and a slightly different hairstyle, hinting at a fresh direction for the character.
Our Take on Boston Blue
Boston Blue keeps the original family focus but explores new territory for Danny Reagan. Wahlberg’s enthusiasm suggests exciting possibilities ahead. Fans will have to see if the spinoff lives up to the legacy of Blue Bloods.
