Donnie Wahlberg Leads Blue Bloods Universe Expansion With Boston Blue

Donnie Wahlberg is expanding the Blue Bloods universe with a new CBS series titled Boston Blue, reprising his role as veteran detective Danny Reagan. The upcoming show shifts the longtime fan favorite from New York City to Boston, marking a fresh chapter for the character after years on Blue Bloods.

In Boston Blue, Danny Reagan relocates to Beantown, where he becomes involved with the Boston Police Department and navigates a new city, new cases, and a different law-enforcement culture. While the series remains rooted in the values and themes that defined Blue Bloods—family, duty, and justice—it aims to bring a distinct tone shaped by Boston’s history and character.

Wahlberg will also serve as an executive producer, helping guide the expansion of the franchise. Boston Blue represents CBS’s first major step in extending the Blue Bloods world beyond its original setting, offering longtime viewers continuity while welcoming new audiences.

The series is expected to premiere during an upcoming broadcast season on CBS.
