Blue Bloods may have ended in 2024, but the Reagan family legacy is far from over. The series has continued on with spinoff Boston Blue on the 2026 TV schedule, following Donnie Wahlberg’s Danny Reagan in the titular Massachusetts capital. It’s been a success so far, with a second season on the way later this year. However, the series was not originally pitched with Wahlberg until a network note changed things forever.
When Blue Bloods was canceled, many fans, and even cast members, advocated for more seasons. There had been reports that either a spinoff or a movie could be happening, and Boston Blue was officially announced in early 2025. Wahlberg previously revealed that the show didn’t start as a Blue Bloods spinoff, with creators Brandon Margolis and Brandon Sonnier developing a different family cop drama. The NKOTB member, meanwhile, was almost sent to Texas for a different Blue Bloods spinoff.
