When Blue Bloods was still being produced, fans of the show wanted to know a lot of facts about the TV show. Thankfully, there were fascinating Blue Bloods facts to learn, like why Jennifer Esposito left the show and why Tom Selleck was willing to shave his iconic mustache. Now that Blue Bloods has come to an end, however, a lot of that same interest is now focused on the show’s spin-off, Boston Blue.

As it turns out, however, Blue Bloods fans should be excited since fascinating news about the stars of the original show has been hinted at. During an interview, Donnie Wahlberg revealed that some Blue Bloods stars could make cameo appearances on Boston Blue in unexpected ways.

Donnie Wahlberg Hinted That Boston Blue Could Feature Unusual Blue Bloods Cameos

When a show has been around for many years, dedicated fans will have spent hundreds of hours watching the show’s characters. The time those fans watched those characters can seem even more endless when they are the kind of viewers who like to rewatch shows.

After spending that much time with a group of characters, it is only natural to become emotionally invested in them. As a result, it can feel extremely disappointing when a long-lasting show comes to an end and suddenly there are no new adventures to watch.

One thing that diminishes the disappointment of a beloved show ending is when there is a spin-off that allows fans to continue to watch at least some of those characters. Fortunately for one group of fans, that show’s spin-off, Boston Blue, could have unorthodox Blue Bloods star cameos.

In June 2025, Parade interviewed Donnie Wahlberg about his upcoming Blue Bloods spin-off, Boston Blue.

During that conversation, Donnie was asked about the possibility of other Blue Bloods actors appearing during Boston Blue episodes. At first, Donnie responded by bringing up how close the cities where Blue Bloods and Boston Blue take place are.

While Donnie pointing out the two cities’ proximity is exciting in context, what he said next was really interesting.

When Parade’s interviewer was talking to Donnie, they didn’t just ask the actor if there would be Blue Bloods star cameos during Boston Blue. Instead, Parade’s interviewer asked if Blue Bloods stars could appear on Boston Blue through unorthodox means, like Zoom or FaceTime.

In response, Donnie made a remark that seemed to hint that Boston Blue could feature Zoom or FaceTime cameos from former Blue Bloods stars.

While continuing to talk to Parade, Donnie addressed why Boston Blue featuring Blue Bloods cameos was a strong possibility.

Donnie explained that Blue Bloods is important to him and his new Boston Blue co-star, Sonequa Martin-Green.

“Yeah, Blue Bloods is important to the audience, it’s important to me, it’s important to Sonequa.”

After many years of him starring in Blue Bloods, it isn’t surprising that Donnie cares so deeply about the show.

The Announced Cast For Boston Blue, as of June 2025

However, it is nice to know that Sonequa Martin-Green, the actor who will play the new partner of Donnie’s character, Danny Reagan, cares about Blue Bloods’ legacy too..

At that point in his conversation with Parade, Donnie commented on Sonequa’s desire to maintain Blue Bloods’ legacy.

“She’s a Blue Bloods fan. She’s my partner, and she’s a Blue Bloods fan. She wants to keep that legacy alive, as well.”

Donnie Wahlberg Had Previously Hinted That Boston Blue Would Likely Feature Blue Bloods Star Cameos

Before Donnie Wahlberg hinted that Blue Bloods stars could appear on Boston Blue in unexpected ways, he’d already given fans something to be excited about. While previously speaking to the press about the plans for Boston Blue, Donnie explained why the other stars of Blue Bloods may not be done with their roles.

In April 2025, Collider published an article about an interview that Donnie had given at that time about the plans for Boston Blue. The outlet covered remarks that Donnie made when he appeared on the “Morning Magic” podcast at that time. After clarifying that Boston Blue will focus on his Blue Bloods character, Danny Reagan, Donnie explained why Blue Bloods stars would likely appear during the spin-off.

During the same podcast conversation, Donnie explained that he couldn’t say much about Boston Blue. That said, Donnie spoke about how honored he was to get to work on Boston Blue.

“I can’t tell a lot of stuff about it other than at this point, I’m very humbled to be producing the show with Jerry Bruckheimer and some incredible writers and producers known as the Brandons. It’s an honor to keep the Blue Bloods tradition alive, and I think that’s what I’ll be doing with the show.”

Based on Donnie’s comments about the plans for Boston Blue, one thing seems to be true about the upcoming spin-off. It seems very clear that Donnie will do everything he can to make Boston Blue a show that Blue Bloods fans will love.
