Blue Bloods Ends After 14 Seasons But Lives On Through Boston Blue Spinoff
The long-running CBS police drama Blue Bloods officially concluded its remarkable 14-season run in December 2024, but fans have exciting news to look forward to. Blue Bloods was not renewed in 2025, therefore, there will not be a season 15 of the show, marking the end of an era for the beloved Reagan family saga.
Series Finale Draws Massive Viewership
The Blue Bloods series finale proved the show’s enduring popularity, with almost 6.7 million viewers tuning in to say goodbye to the Reagan family. This impressive viewership demonstrates the loyal fanbase that followed the multi-generational police family through their New York City adventures for over a decade.
Boston Blue Spinoff Officially Greenlit
In a major development that has thrilled fans, CBS officially announced that Donnie Wahlberg would star in and be an executive producer on a spin-off with the working title Boston Blue. The network has given the spinoff a straight-to-series order, bypassing the typical pilot process, which speaks to their confidence in the project.
Donnie Wahlberg’s Danny Reagan Heads to Boston
The network is bringing back Donnie Wahlberg to his role as Danny Reagan on an all-new series called Boston Blue. The spinoff will follow Danny Reagan as he makes a significant career move from the NYPD to the Boston Police Department, representing a fresh chapter for the beloved character.

Fall 2025 Premiere Date Set
Fans won’t have to wait long for the new series. The spinoff will be operating on a razor-thin timeline, and it is set to premiere in fall 2025 and won’t be a midseason addition. This aggressive timeline ensures that the Blue Bloods universe will continue without a significant gap between the original series and its successor.
Tom Selleck’s Future After Blue Bloods
While Donnie Wahlberg continues his journey as Danny Reagan, longtime cast member Tom Selleck isn’t planning to return, but he also isn’t leaving showbiz. The veteran actor, who portrayed Police Commissioner Frank Reagan for 14 seasons, has hinted at future television projects, though details remain under wraps.
What to Expect from Boston Blue
The spinoff promises to maintain the core elements that made Blue Bloods successful while exploring new territory. The cast of Blue Bloods was one of the most solid ensembles in cop drama history, and it makes sense that the spinoff would build upon that foundation while introducing fresh characters and storylines in the Boston setting.
Looking Ahead
As Blue Bloods transitions from its original format to the new Boston Blue spinoff, fans can expect the same quality family drama and police procedural elements that made the original series a success. The fall 2025 premiere will mark an exciting new chapter in the Blue Bloods universe, ensuring that the Reagan family legacy continues in a new city.
