Boston Blue’s Major Reagan Family Member Recast Answers The Biggest Mystery About Danny’s Post-Blue Bloods Life

Boston Blue is set to premiere this fall, and the Blue Bloods spinoff’s recent recast of a core character has shed light on Danny Reagan’s life since the show. Variety recently reported that Danny’s youngest son, Sean Reagan, is set to be recast, with Mika Amonsen replacing Blue Bloods alum Andrew Terraciano.

The recast can give Sean an exciting new creative direction, and the character has moved to Boston to become a patrolman with the Boston PD. This relocation is an exciting new chapter for Sean as a character to evolve and grow, and, importantly, it feeds nicely into Danny’s story arc at the same time.

Father & Son Could Be Working Together

Danny has also moved to Boston to start afresh, and the fact that Sean is there is a great way of helping the two to bond. Sean is keen to make his own mark in the world and not rely on his family name, but still has a positive relationship with his father, which the show will explore.

A recast of Sean means that Amonsen could bring a more mature and independent edge to Sean as a character, which will be essential when he tries to make his own mark in law enforcement. Having Danny there as well will only help deepen and enrich their relationship.

At Its Heart Blue Bloods Was About Family, & It Looks Like Boston Blue Will Be Too

At its core, Boston Blue was always a show about family; about the complexities of family dynamics, expectations, and traditions, and this is one of the factors that made it so compelling. And this is a theme that will seemingly run through the fabric of Boston Blue as well, based on the new direction that Sean will take as a character.

It’s true that Boston Blue will also have the Silver family, which feeds into the overarching theme of family, but Danny and Sean ensure that the Reagans are still the prominent focus of the series. In fact, if Danny or Sean were alone in Boston Blue as the sole members of their family it wouldn’t feel right – the fact they’re together embraces the familial theme.

Boston Blue will hope to tell an epic, sprawling story, with new characters, but the core will always be the same. As Frank Reagan put it, “No matter the hardship or the loss, this family does not stand down. Ever.” And Boston Blue, at its core, will continue to embrace the theme of family.
