Donnie Wahlberg Spills Shocking Cameo News for Boston Blue!

Who Should Reprise Their Role from Blue Bloods in the Boston Blue Spinoff? Fans Weigh In

Ever since Boston Blue was announced, excitement has surged among Blue Bloods fans eager to see where the franchise goes next. The upcoming CBS spinoff is set to launch a new chapter, and while it features fresh faces and a brand-new setting, it’s also creating buzz about who from the original cast might return—if only for a cameo.

So far, we know Donnie Wahlberg is back as Detective Danny Reagan, but this time he’s walking a beat in Boston, not New York. Joined by Star Trek: Discovery and The Walking Dead alum Sonequa Martin-Green as his new partner, Detective Lena Silvers, Danny must adapt to a new city, a new team, and all-new challenges.

Rounding out the Boston Blue cast are Gloria Reuben, Ernie Hudson, Maggie Lawson, and Marcus Scribner. While casting updates have been quiet since Scribner’s June reveal, Wahlberg recently reignited fan speculation with hints about potential guest appearances from his Blue Bloods family.

In an interview with Parade, Wahlberg addressed the possibility of cameos, saying he loved the creative ideas floated—Zoom calls, FaceTimes, or even in-person drop-ins. While he didn’t confirm anything, he teased the idea in a way that has fans hopeful. “New York and Boston are really close… Blue Bloods is important to the audience, it’s important to me, it’s important to Sonequa,” Wahlberg said. “She wants to keep that legacy alive.”

It’s clear that the Blue Bloods spirit is still very much alive on the Boston Blue set. With production rumored to start July 10 and a fall premiere expected, we’re keeping our fingers crossed that familiar faces like Tom Selleck (Frank), Will Estes (Jamie), or Bridget Moynahan (Erin) might make surprise appearances.
