A new spin-off series titled “Boston Blue” is officially in development, continuing the legacy of the beloved police procedural “Blue Bloods.” The show will prominently feature Donnie Wahlberg reprising his role as Danny Reagan, along with a significant update regarding his on-screen son, Sean Reagan.
While Andrew Terraciano, who portrayed Sean for the entirety of the original series, will not return for the spin-off, Mika Amonsen has been cast in the role. Amonsen is known for her guest appearances on shows like “Suits” and “Reacher.” The exact reasons behind this recasting remain undisclosed.
Terraciano shared a heartfelt message on social media after the conclusion of “Blue Bloods,” reflecting on the deep connections he formed during his time on the show. He expressed immense gratitude to the cast and crew, emphasizing the valuable lessons he learned and the memories he will cherish.
“Blue Bloods,” which aired from 2010 until its cancellation by CBS in 2024, revolved around the Reagan family, known for their deep-rooted ties to law enforcement in New York City. The show concluded after 14 successful seasons, facing protests from its dedicated fanbase.
Following the cancellation, the announcement of “Boston Blue” comes as a promising expansion of the “Blue Bloods” universe. In this new storyline, Danny Reagan will take on a role with the Boston Police Department, and Sean will begin his journey as a patrolman, aiming to forge his own path within the same family legacy. This new chapter allows for a deeper exploration of the father-son relationship, as they reconnect in Boston.
The spin-off is penned by writers Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis and will feature other notable cast members including Sonequa Martin-Green, Gloria Reuben, Maggie Lawson, Marcus Scribner, and Ernie Hudson. Whether Tom Selleck will reprise his role as Frank Reagan is still uncertain.
This development offers fans both familiarity and a fresh perspective, promising to engage audiences with new stories while honoring the essence of “Blue Bloods.”
