Blue Bloods star Donnie Wahlberg teases Boston Blue, new setting

As many of you may be aware at this point, you are going to have a chance to see the Blue Bloods spin-off Boston Blue on CBS this fall. This show will feature Donnie Wahlberg as Danny Reagan, and there are going to be a number of new challenges that are coming his way. After all, remember for a moment that the character is moving from New York to take a new job at the Boston Police Department, where he is going to be paired with Lena (Sonequa Martin-Green), who is a part of a crime-fighting family in her own right.

So how does Danny find being in a new city? Donnie ironically is from Boston, but he says (per TVLine) that he is going to struggle very much with this new environment:

“Danny does not like Boston very much, as we’ll discover … He’s a New Yorker, he’s a Mets fan and a Jets fan….”

Wahlberg also goes on to explain that the Reagan family will be in some ways tied to the show, regardless of how much you see them:

“Danny’s story will continue the Reagan family’s. You can’t have Danny without Reagans. There’ll be connective tissue to the old family … But we’re also going to get to discover a new family and carry on the tradition of telling their stories and still telling the Reagan stories.

“No Blue Bloods fans will be disappointed … We are really working on this universe in a way that I think the Blue Bloods viewers are going to be very happy.”

Given that Donnie was a part of the original series for a good decade and a half, we do tend to think that there is a lot of experience he can pull from. We know that Boston Blue was at one point not considered to be a part of the Blue Bloods universe, but Donnie joining allowed that to happen behind the scenes.
