Blue Bloods Spinoff ‘Boston Blue’ Almost Sent Danny Reagan in a Different Direction
Before Blue Bloods fans learned about the upcoming spinoff Boston Blue, there were talks of taking Detective Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) in a completely different direction. Early ideas reportedly placed Danny outside of New York, exploring new challenges and cases that would test his tough NYPD instincts in unfamiliar territory.
While the final concept keeps the gritty tone fans love, the idea of moving Danny elsewhere shows just how close Blue Bloods came to shaking up its formula. With Boston Blue now in development, it’s clear the franchise isn’t afraid to explore bold new territory—just not too far from the Reagan family roots.
