Donnie Wahlberg marks the beginning of a fresh journey with the commencement of the Boston Blue spinoff, as he recently shared a glimpse from the inaugural table read session. The Blue Bloods actor, aged 55, posted a photo on his Instagram Stories from Toronto, Ontario, the filming location for Boston Blue, expressing his excitement for the new project. Alongside a picture of the city skyline, Wahlberg captioned it with words of gratitude, emphasizing the start of a new chapter in his career.
Shortly after, Wahlberg confirmed the commencement of production by sharing a snapshot from the first Boston Blue table read. Seated beside Sonequa Martin-Green, who portrays the lead character Lena Silver, Wahlberg labeled the moment as “a new chapter” in his journey. The photo displayed the pilot script and his name plate, accompanied by a blue heart emoji, symbolizing his enthusiasm for the upcoming venture.
Boston Blue, announced on February 18 following the finale of Blue Bloods, will revolve around Detective Danny Reagan (played by Wahlberg) as he transitions to the Boston PD. Partnered with Detective Lena Silver, portrayed by Martin-Green, the show will explore their dynamic within a prominent law enforcement family. The cast also includes Gloria Reuben, Ernie Hudson, Maggie Lawson, and Marcus Scribner.
In an exclusive conversation with Parade, Wahlberg hinted at a potential appearance of his Blue Bloods co-star Tom Selleck on Boston Blue, suggesting the close proximity of New York and Boston could facilitate a crossover. Acknowledging the significance of Blue Bloods, Wahlberg expressed gratitude for the loyal audience and his attachment to the series.
Donnie Wahlberg’s celebration of a ‘New Chapter’ at the first ‘Boston Blue’ table read was originally featured on Parade on July 9, 2025.
