The Reagan family will return to television. CBS has ordered a spin-off of Blue Bloods starring Donnie Wahlberg titled Boston Blue.
Deadline revealed the following about the spin-off series:
“In the new series, from writers Brandon Sonnier & Brandon Margolis (S.W.A.T.), Wahlberg will reprise his role as NYPD Detective Danny Reagan as he takes a position with Boston PD. Once in Boston, he is paired with Detective Lena Peters, the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.”
Boston Blue was not pitched initially as a spin-off to CBS. It was pitched as a separate series featuring a daughter from a prominent law enforcement family paired with a new transfer from the LAPD.
However, CBS saw it as an opportunity to continue the Blue Bloods universe. Wahlberg was born in Boston, so they approached the actor about the idea. His deal just closed.
Other proposed spin-offs of Blue Bloods had Danny moving to Texas and one focusing on Tom Selleck’s character. Boston Blue will air on CBS during the 2025-26 season.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Blue Bloods? Will you watch the Boston Blue spin-off next season?
I will definitely watch any spin-off series of Blue Bloods. It was the best show on TV all these years. Loved all of the characters and story lines. So sad to see it go.

I was just thinking Friday nights are kind of blue without the family
It was Time for it to go!
It didn’t have to go. You could have just stopped watching it!
I will definitely watch the new series! I am a loyal fan of Blue Bloods and sad that it was cancelled.
Please bring Blue Bloods back from London
It honestly pisses me off! CBS should NOT have canceled Blue Bloods! We want Blue Bloods back!
Very pleased. Loved Blue Blood
Yes, I’m a fan of Blue Bloods. No, I will not watch it if it only has Walberg as the Star. I REALLY liked all the stars of Blood Bloods, not just one. I have watched Blue Bloods for years every Friday night. Now, I don’t even turn the TV on sometimes on that night. I just go watch podcasts on YouTube. It was a big mistake when you canceled this fine program. Now that there has been a big change in the US administration, there could have been many new more enjoyable stories.
I am a big fan
CBS makes terrible program choices. I feel the same way about NCIS Hawaii. Sure, it may have been expensive to producek but it was a great show and had good ratings.
