CBS is officially expanding the Blue Bloods universe with the highly anticipated spinoff Boston Blue, and the network just revealed new casting details that have fans buzzing with excitement. Leading the new series is Donnie Wahlberg, reprising his beloved role as Detective Danny Reagan.
Boston Blue will shift the action from New York City to Boston, exploring new storylines while maintaining the core values and themes that made Blue Bloods a primetime staple for over a decade. Donnie Wahlberg’s Danny Reagan will take on a leadership role in a new law enforcement unit navigating crime and justice in a city with its own complex history.
Joining Wahlberg in the cast are several fresh faces as well as a few familiar ones. While CBS has yet to release the full cast list, early reports confirm that the new team will include a mix of seasoned actors and rising talent, promising a dynamic ensemble that mirrors the tight-knit chemistry of the original Reagan family.
In a statement, CBS executives shared their excitement:

Wahlberg, a Boston native, expressed his personal connection to the project, saying:
“Bringing Danny Reagan back to my hometown feels like coming full circle. I can’t wait for fans to see what’s next.”
While an official premiere date has yet to be announced, Boston Blue is expected to debut in the 2025–2026 television season. Production is set to begin later this year.
Fans of Blue Bloods can rest assured: the spirit of the Reagan family is alive and well — just with a fresh Boston twist.
