Donnie's Vision for 'Boston Blue'
The expansion of the 'Blue Bloods' universe was officially announced last month. 'Boston Blue' will debut on CBS in the fall, featuring Danny Reagan navigating his new role in the Boston PD. Donnie initially expressed that he would only continue the franchise if the core values of 'Blue Bloods' were preserved.
"There’s been a lot of talk about spinoffs, about various spinoffs, all types of concepts of spinoffs," Donnie told TV Insider in October 2024. "I, for me personally, would say whatever happens next, if it’s done with the spirit of 'Blue Bloods' and done with the care that we tried to put into 'Blue Bloods' every week, it would be something that I would look forward to watching or being a part of either way."
