Blue Bloods Star, 55, Teases Surprise Cameos in Boston Blue Spinoff!

Blue Bloods may have wrapped, but Donnie Wahlberg’s journey as Danny Reagan is far from over. The fan-favorite detective is back—only this time, he’s headed to Boston in the upcoming spinoff Boston Blue. While the new series shifts the setting from New York City to Wahlberg’s real-life hometown, fans are eager to know whether familiar faces from the original Blue Bloods universe might make surprise appearances. And it looks like Wahlberg is just as hopeful.

Since the show was announced, Wahlberg has been dropping hints on social media. When a fan commented on his Instagram post saying, “I wish it was the entire family, that’s what made Blue Bloods work,” Wahlberg responded with a teasing, “Tune in.” Another fan wished for cameos from the original cast, and Wahlberg replied: “Same, same.” His reply to former co-star Will Hochman, who commented “Legendary” with crown emojis, was even more telling: “My guy – counting on you to come visit your uncle on screen!”

Clearly, Wahlberg is rooting for those Reagan family moments to continue, even if the setting has changed.

Speaking to Variety, Wahlberg also addressed a long-discussed topic among fans: the relationship between Danny and his partner Baez, played by Marisa Ramirez. While many hoped for a romantic development, Wahlberg explained why that didn’t happen. “It was important to [producer] Kevin Wade to not have every partnership turn into a relationship. And I respected that,” Wahlberg shared. “It was probably important for me personally that Danny grows. As the audience started clamoring for something more between Danny and Baez, I thought it was more important for their relationship to evolve with mutual respect and personal growth.”

So while Blue Bloods may have closed its final chapter, Boston Blue promises a new story—with the heart and connections fans loved still very much in play.
