Donnie Wahlberg's Surprising Spinoff Story: Boston Blue's Origins (2025)

Donnie Wahlberg, the star of the long-running series Blue Bloods, has made a surprising admission about the show's controversial spinoff, Boston Blue. In a recent Q&A session, Donnie revealed that he was initially hesitant to take on the role of Danny Reagan in the new series, which explores the Reagan family's move to Boston and their new life there. But here's where it gets interesting... Donnie shared that the idea for Boston Blue came about when two concepts 'bumped into' each other. While one goal was to see Danny move to Texas, another was to follow a family in law enforcement in Boston, just like the Reagans. 'I really didn't think that would ever happen anytime soon,' he said. But when the series came to an end, Donnie's mind changed. 'Suddenly it was like, 'Do I really wanna do a spinoff?' I didn't know. And this idea was really good. And the script was really good,' he recalled. Donnie also discussed the challenges of introducing a new family and establishing a believable bond between Danny and his new partner, Lena Silver, played by Sonequa Martin-Green. Despite the show's cancellation due to budget cuts at CBS, Donnie is excited to see what the future holds for Boston Blue. So, what do you think? Are you a fan of Blue Bloods and Boston Blue?
