Blue Bloods was an incredibly successful show for 14 seasons. Relatable characters, solid storylines, a supportive family, and a good old-fashioned Sunday dinner helped propel the show for so long. After the show ended, loyal fans wanted to see more of their favorite characters. The spinoff, Boston Blue with Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) is now in production. Set in Boston, obviously, where some parts of this will be filmed, but Toronto often doubles for the Beantown backdrops.
Boston Location Shoots
Because it can get tricky to film in and around Boston, particularly the downtown area, lots of shows are filmed in Canada. Plus, the tax credit helps! Vancouver in British Columbia has been known to be a filming location for many shows.
At the New Kids on the Block afterparty in Vegas on July 5th, Wahlberg said the new series would start production on Monday, July 8th. He mentioned that there was an upcoming table read followed by taping on July 10th, and then posted on social media, “A new chapter.💙”
Any News of Blue Bloods Cast on Set?
Tom Selleck said he was open to a guest spot. At this point in time, it’s not confirmed. We’re pretty sure, though, that there will be some special appearances from Danny’s old world. Maybe he’ll even drag his nephew Joe, Jr. (Will Hochman) to Boston. They could do a sting together!
Any Other Reveals So Far?
Besides Danny Reagan moving farther away from his Blue Bloods family, it appears as if he’ll get introduced to a whole new crime-fighting one: the Silvers (and the Peters look to be a part of that)—Sonequa Martin-Green costars along with Ernie Hudson and Maggie Lawson.
Andrew Terraciano, who played Danny’s younger son, Sean, in Blue Bloods, won’t be returning. The new actor in the role will be Mika Amonsen. Amonsen has been in Reacher and The Republic of Sarah as Hunter Trumbull.
From Blue Bloods to Boston Blue
Danny transferring up to Boston means he is only a phone call away from his family. (Or a few hours driving.) Shifting to a new setting and with new characters – with a couple of connections to the old – will keep this Blue Bloods spinoff close to our hearts.
