Donnie Wahlberg Hints at Reagan Family Reunion in ‘Boston Blue’

by

Despite wrapping up after 14 seasons last December, the beloved characters from “Blue Bloods” continue to live on through the upcoming spinoff, “Boston Blue.” Set to grace our screens in the 2025 TV schedule, Donnie Wahlberg will reprise his role as Detective Danny Reagan alongside a fresh cast. However, there’s been speculation about the possibility of Tom Selleck and other members of the Reagan family making an appearance in this new series, and Wahlberg has shared some thoughts on the matter.

Given Tom Selleck’s vocal opposition to the cancellation of “Blue Bloods” and his desire to reprise his role as Frank Reagan, it was unexpected when a spinoff was announced without him. However, with Boston Blue set to continue the storyline featuring Danny Reagan, there is still much anticipation. The question remains: what will happen to the rest of the Reagan family? Mark Wahlberg’s previous statements have given me reason to believe that family dinners and the Reagan family dynamic will persist. In his recent interview with Parade, he has further fueled my optimism that we may not have seen the last of the Reagans yet.

New York City and Boston aren’t too distant from each other. In fact, they’re quite near. Your question was thoughtfully phrased, as it addressed various options for visiting both places.

– The cities of New York and Boston are quite close, not far at all. I appreciate how your question considered different scenarios for meeting up with us.

Or, more casually:

– NYC and Boston aren’t that far – they’re pretty close! Your question had a lot of good ideas on how to hang out together.

In approximately five hours by road, New York City and Boston can be reached. This means that another Reagan family member could pop in unannounced. Whether Frank decides to check on his son, or Erin surprises her brother, Jamie and Eddie with baby Reagan, or they simply connect via video call, it seems there are multiple ways the Reagans might make an unexpected visit. Regardless of Selleck’s reported feelings on the matter, it appears that various scenarios could lead to their appearance.

Although not a direct sequel, Boston Blue shares a connection with the Blue Bloods universe and maintains a similar feel to the original series. Despite the absence of many beloved cast members that fans have followed for 14 years, Wahlberg understands the significance of this show to the audience and the importance it holds for them: he wants to ensure continuity with the original.

Absolutely, the series Blue Bloods holds significant value for its viewers, including myself, and it’s no exception for Sonequa Martin-Green, who plays Danny’s new partner. Being a fan herself of Blue Bloods, she shares the same passion for preserving the show’s legacy as we do.

In addition to Martin-Green, the upcoming cast of Boston Blue includes Gloria Reuben, Ernie Hudson, Maggie Lawson, and Marcus Scribner, with more announcements expected soon. It may be difficult to imagine a show like Blue Bloods without most of the Reagans or their traditional family dinners, but there’s optimism that some members may reappear for at least one episode, offering fans another taste of those cherished gatherings.

Further details about the upcoming series titled “Boston Blue” and its possible featured actors will be shared in the following months as we approach its fall debut. The countdown is on for the official air date to be disclosed soon. In the meantime, you can catch all 14 seasons of “Blue Bloods” by subscribing to Paramount+.
