‘Faith, Family, Tradition.’ Donnie Wahlberg On The Cool Way The Family Dinner Scenes Are Going To Be Very Different In The Blue Bloods Spinoff

Donnie Wahlberg looking at new co-star Sonequa Martin-Green in the first Boston Blue family dinner scene.

Donnie Wahlberg has been jazzed about Blue Bloods getting a spinoff on the 2025 TV schedule for months, even more so given the show is taking fans to his real-life hometown of Boston to share a brand new story. While Wahlberg will be a unifying thread on the new show, he recently revealed Boston Blue will have other ties to the original series. In fact, he revealed ahead of the the premiere the three tenets the new series needs to tie to the old: “You need faith, family and tradition.”

But what else does the show need? Some good, old-fashioned family dinners. Of course!
