A Fan Asked Why Blue Bloods Is Getting A Spinoff Instead Of Season 12, And Donnie Wahlberg Gave A Surprising Response

Blue Bloods came to a conclusion back in 2024 after fourteen seasons, nearly 300 episodes, and plenty of comments from star Tom Selleck about not wanting it to end. The TV icon's pitch for a Season 15 didn't lead to a renewal, but another Reagan is getting his own show. Danny Reagan, played by Donnie Wahlberg, is relocating from New York City to star in Boston Blue, set to premiere on CBS later in the 2025 TV schedule in Blue Bloods' old time slot. So, why a spinoff and not Season 15? Wahlberg weighed in with an unexpected answer.

Boston Blue will take Danny Reagan away from the NYC-based Reagan family dinners of Blue Bloods to join Boston P.D. His new partner will be Lena Silvers, played by Sonequa Martin-Green in her first series regular role since Star Trek: Discovery ended on Paramount+ last year. These will be very different circumstances from those fans watched Danny in for nearly a decade and a half on Blue Bloods (and continue to stream via Paramount+ subscription if the recent numbers are any indication).
