The Reagan family is back—well, at least part of it. Fans of Blue Bloods have reason to celebrate, as Donnie Wahlberg, who famously plays Detective Danny Reagan, is officially leading a brand-new spin-off series titled Boston Blue. And the best part? He’s not going it alone.

 A Fan-Favorite Is Coming Along

In a move that’s sure to excite long-time viewers, a familiar face from Blue Bloods is set to join Wahlberg in the upcoming series. While the network has not yet confirmed the exact character, inside sources report that Marisa Ramirez, who plays Detective Maria Baez, will reprise her role alongside Wahlberg—marking a continuation of the beloved on-screen partnership fans have enjoyed for over a decade.

Their chemistry as partners—both professionally and emotionally grounded—was a highlight of the original show, and this new development suggests Boston Blue may preserve the heart and spirit of Blue Bloods while exploring fresh territory.

  While Blue Bloods is set to end with its 14th season in 2025, Boston Blue appears to be a spiritual continuation that offers closure—and new beginnings—for key characters. This move mirrors what other franchises like NCIS and Law & Order have done: spinning off popular characters into new shows to keep the universe alive.
