As CBS prepares to bid farewell to its beloved police procedural Blue Bloods after 14 seasons, fans are already wondering what the future might hold for the Reagan family. In a recent interview, series star Donnie Wahlberg offered a reassuring message: no matter what comes next, “there’ll always be a Reagan a phone call away.”
Wahlberg, who has portrayed Detective Danny Reagan since the show’s debut in 2010, spoke candidly about the legacy of Blue Bloods and the potential for spin-offs. While details about any official continuation remain under wraps, Wahlberg’s comments have sparked hope among the show’s loyal fanbase that the Reagan name will live on in some form.
“Whether it’s Danny or someone else, I don’t think the Reagan family is going to disappear entirely,” Wahlberg said. “Even in a spin-off, there’ll always be a Reagan a phone call away. That’s just how this family works.”
Blue Bloods has long centered around the close-knit Reagan clan, a multigenerational family of New York City law enforcement officers. From the Sunday dinners to the moral dilemmas faced on the streets, the series has captured the hearts of millions through its blend of action, character-driven storytelling, and family values.
Wahlberg’s remark underscores not just the enduring nature of the Reagan family, but also the actor’s deep connection to the role. “This show has meant the world to me,” he shared. “And if there’s a way to carry it forward in a new chapter, I’m all in — as long as the family spirit stays alive.”
CBS has not yet confirmed any concrete plans for a spin-off, though speculation has swirled since the network announced the show’s final season would air in two parts throughout 2024 and 2025. With other long-running franchises like NCIS and FBI expanding their universes, many believe Blue Bloods could follow suit.
For now, fans can take comfort in Wahlberg’s words: even as the original series draws to a close, the Reagan family may not be gone for good — they’re just a phone call away.
