October 15, 2025
Donnie Wahlberg is finally filming a TV series in his hometown of Boston, but he’s playing a New Yorker. His character, Danny Reagan from “Blue Bloods,” moves to Boston in the new CBS spinoff, “Boston Blue.” Wahlberg, a die-hard Red Sox fan, finds himself in the middle of the New York-Boston rivalry. The show features Danny as a NYPD detective who heads to Boston after a family tragedy. Wahlberg says the series continues the “Blue Bloods” legacy, focusing on family, faith, and law enforcement. He hopes to portray Boston accurately and honor the show’s traditions.
