While Danny Reagan is undeniably a fan-favorite with his action-packed investigations and fiery personality, some viewers are beginning to ask — was he really the best choice for a spinoff? What about Jamie, the thoughtful and principled cop-turned-sergeant, or Joe Hill, the wildcard with untapped potential and emotional ties to both the NYPD and the Reagan legacy?
Jamie offers a fresh dynamic — a calm, strategic leader who’s deeply rooted in both police work and family duty. A spinoff following his journey could explore the challenges of balancing command with integrity, and even dive deeper into his partnership with Eddie.
Joe, on the other hand, is still a bit of a mystery. His dual identity as Joe Reagan’s son and his role as an undercover agent open the door to darker, grittier storytelling — something Blue Bloods only scratches the surface of.
Danny brings action and history — but Jamie brings heart, and Joe brings mystery. So maybe the question isn’t whether Danny deserved a spinoff, but whether Blue Bloods missed a golden opportunity to take the franchise in a bold, new direction.
