As 2024 came to a close, fans of the beloved series Blue Bloods had to bid farewell after 14 incredible seasons. It was a bittersweet moment as CBS wrapped up the series with a powerful finale in December. But just as fans were processing the end, CBS dropped a surprising twist—Donnie Wahlberg is set to reprise his role as Danny Reagan in an exciting offshoot titled Boston Blue. This news has fans buzzing with excitement, wondering if Blue Bloods is coming back in 2025 with a fresh take.
Is There a Season 15 of Blue Bloods?
Let’s clear the air—there won’t be a Season 15 of Blue Bloods. The show officially concluded after its 14th season in December 2024. It was a heartfelt goodbye filled with emotional moments and unforgettable scenes. While the curtain has fallen on the original series, fans can look forward to the continuation of the Blue Bloods legacy through its spinoff, Boston Blue.
The final episode of Blue Bloods was packed with drama and heart. The story took a somber turn with the unexpected deaths of Judge Barbara Clarkson, who succumbed to a gunshot wound, and Luis Badillo, who tragically died in the line of duty. Meanwhile, Eddie Janko-Reagan survived a gunshot but was left shaken. The episode ended on a hopeful note as Eddie and Jamie Reagan announced they were expecting their first child during a heartfelt family dinner.

As the family gathered around the table, Frank Reagan, the patriarch, reflected on the strength and unity of the family. He said, “You know, we’ve got a lot to be thankful for. And looking around this table, I gotta say, I couldn’t be more proud or grateful.” It was a fitting conclusion to a series that had captured the hearts of millions.
What’s Boston Blue All About?
The spinoff Boston Blue is set to expand the universe of Blue Bloods. In this new series, Donnie Wahlberg’s character, Danny Reagan, will leave the NYPD to join the Boston PD. According to the February 18, 2025, press release, “In Boston Blue, Wahlberg will reprise his role as NYPD officer Danny Reagan as he takes a position with Boston PD. Once in Boston, he is paired with detective Lena Peters, the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.”
Donnie isn’t just starring in the show; he’s also taking on the role of executive producer alongside the talented Jerry Bruckheimer and KristieAnne Reed. This promises to bring a fresh perspective and energy to the Blue Bloods universe.
When Can We Expect Boston Blue?
Fans eager to dive into the world of Boston Blue will have to wait a little longer. The series is scheduled to premiere during the 2025-2026 broadcast season. It’s a thrilling continuation of the Blue Bloods legacy, and viewers can expect the same level of drama, emotion, and action that made the original series a hit.
Donnie Wahlberg’s Tease About a Spinoff
Before the official announcement of Boston Blue, Donnie Wahlberg gave fans a hint about the possibility of a continuation. In an exclusive interview with Closer, Donnie spoke about the discussions surrounding a spinoff. He said, “It’s been discussed. I’m sure it’s been discussed in multiple formats and multiple areas with multiple people. But you know whatever’s going to happen with the spinoff is going to have to be done thoughtfully and carefully. That’s quite a legacy to live up to after Blue Bloods. And if the show doesn’t carry on some of those magical elements of Blue Bloods, then I think it would be a disservice to the show. So, it’s really just being talked about.”
How the Cast Reacted to the Cancellation
In May 2024, CBS made the unexpected announcement that Blue Bloods Season 14 would be its last. The news came as a surprise to both the cast and the fans. CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach expressed gratitude for the show’s success, saying, “We absolutely will miss the family dinners. It is important to give the show the sendoff it deserves.”

While CBS didn’t provide a reason for the cancellation, the decision left many cast members feeling shocked and disappointed. Donnie Wahlberg shared his feelings with Fox News Digital, saying, “I personally—and I’m sure some of the other castmates—felt bad. I felt sad.”
Main star Tom Selleck echoed similar sentiments, expressing his frustration over the series’ abrupt end. He told TV Insider, “If you were to say to the television network, ‘Here’s a show you can program in the worst time slot you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the next 15 years,’ it would be almost impossible to believe. My frustration is the show was always taken for granted because it performed from the get-go.”
