‘Boston Blue' Recasts Sean Reagan, Taps Mika Amonsen As Danny's Son In ‘Blue Bloods' Offshoot
On Blue Bloods, Sean was played by Andrew Terraciano who recurred throughout the series' 14-season run. According to sources, the recasting stems from the character taking a new creative direction on Boston Blue as he follows the Reagans' career path into law enforcement. Meanwhile, the addition of Sean to the offshoot helps explain Danny's move from his native New York to Boston.

On Boston Blue, Wahlberg reprises his role as NYPD Detective Danny Reagan as he takes a position with Boston PD. Once in Boston, he is paired with Detective Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.
The show will find Sean in Boston where he had relocated to start a new chapter as a Boston PD patrolman. Committed himself to pursuing his family's legacy, he wanted to do so on his own terms, which meant joining a department outside of his hometown. Danny's (Wahlberg) decision to stay in Boston gives this father and son duo a chance to reconnect on a deeper level.
Danny's sons Jack and Sean were played on Blue Bloods by real-life brothers Tony Terraciano andAndrew Terraciano. While the oldest, Jack, left for college in Season 9 and rarely appeared on the show after that as he pursued a career in medicine, Sean remained a fixture on Blue Bloods as he went though high school and mulled various career choices, including becoming a firefighter. Last seen at the dinner table in the Blue Bloods series finale, he was off to college at the time, so Boston Blue will explain what prompted his decision to become a Boston cop.
Sean is now the first Reagan besides Danny confirmed for the new Blue Bloods universe series, with others likely to make guest appearances.
In addition to Wahlberg and Martin-Green, Amonsen joins fellow Boston Blue series regulars Maggie Lawson as Sarah Silver, Marcus Scribner as Jonah Silver, Gloria Reuben as Mae Silver and Ernie Hudson as Reverend Peters
Boston Blue, which just started production this week for a fall premiere in Blue Bloods' Friday 10 PM time period, is produced by CBS Studios in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television. Brandon Sonnier & Brandon Margolis showrun and executive produce. Jerry Bruckheimer, KristieAnne Reed and Wahlberg also serve as executive producers. The series will be distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
Amonsen's credits include a guest appearance on Prime Video's Reacher and a role in Eli Roth's horror film Thanksgiving. He will next be seen in Corin Hardy's Whistle.

Rose Leiman Goldemberg, 97, Dies; Her ‘Burning Bed' Was a TV Benchmark
Rose Leiman Goldemberg, a playwright and screenwriter who wrote the script for 'The Burning Bed,' a 1984 TV movie that starred Farrah Fawcett as an abused wife exonerated for killing her husband, bringing a taboo subject to network television and into the national conversation, died on June 21 at her home in Cape May, N.J. She was 97. Her death was announced by her publicist, Alan Eichler. Ms. Goldemberg was working as a playwright in the mid-1970s when she sent a few story outlines to an unusually receptive television producer. One of them, a drama about immigrants set on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1910, caught his interest. It became a television movie, 'The Land of Hope' (a title Ms. Goldemberg hated), which aired on CBS in 1976. It centered on a Jewish family and their Irish and Italian neighbors. There were labor organizers, gangsters and musicians, and a rich uncle who wanted to adopt a child to say Kaddish for him when the time came. Such an ethnic stew was a stretch for the network, and critics loved it. 'A thoroughly charming surprise,' John O'Connor wrote in his review for The New York Times. As a pilot for a series, 'The Land of Hope' went nowhere, but it made Ms. Goldemberg's reputation, and she began receiving stories to be turned into scripts. 'Where did you spring from?' one network executive asked her, she recalled in a 2011 interview for the nonprofit organization New York Women in Film & Television. 'As though I were a mushroom.' It was Arnold Shapiro, the veteran producer, writer and director behind 'Scared Straight!,' a well-received TV documentary about teenage delinquents being brought into contact with prison inmates, who sent Ms. Goldemberg 'The Burning Bed,' a 1980 book by The New Yorker writer Faith McNulty about the case of Francine Hughes.

Quinta Brunson leads 'Zootopia 2' trailer as Judy and Nick head to therapy: Watch
After nearly a decade, "Zootopia" is finally hopping back to theaters. Disney has dropped the first full trailer for "Zootopia 2," the highly anticipated animated sequel to its Oscar-winning 2016 hit. The footage features Quinta Brunson as the voice of a quokka therapist, Dr. Fuzzby, who leads a group therapy session for dysfunctional police partners. Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) attend the session just one week after officially becoming partners. Judy insists their being there is a misunderstanding, but Dr. Fuzzby isn't buying it. The second half of the footage lays out the sequel's plot, which involves Judy and Nick being handed an important assignment involving a snake that has arrived in Zootopia — even though, according to Nick, no snake has set foot in the city "in forever." Watch 'Zootopia 2' trailer: In the movie, Judy and Nick's partnership is put to the "ultimate test when they find themselves on the twisting trail of a mystery tied to the arrival of a venomous snake in the animal metropolis," Disney's plot synopsis says. Who else is returning for 'Zootopia 2'? Oscar-winner Ke Huy Quan has joined the sequel's cast as Gary De'Snake, while returning stars include Idris Elba as Chief Bogo, Nate Torrence as Clawhauser, Jenny Slate as Bellwether, Alan Tudyk as Duke Weaselton, Tommy Chong as Yax and Shakira as pop star Gazelle. And yes, the DMV sloth is back, too. The original "Zootopia," set in a city where various species of anthropomorphic animals live together, is one of Disney's biggest hit animated movies of the past decade. It grossed more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office and won the Academy Award for best animated film. We definitively rank Disney's live-action remakes, 'Lilo & Stitch' included 'Zootopia 2' release date "Zootopia 2" will be Disney's latest animated sequel, hoping to make a splash around the Thanksgiving holiday. It will hit theaters on Nov. 26, 2025. In 2023, "Moana 2" set a record for the biggest Thanksgiving weekend box office opening of all time and went on to sail past the $1 billion mark at the global box office. The definitive ranking of all 29 Pixar movies (including 'Elio') "Zootopia 2" should allow Disney to bounce back from the failure of its original animated film "Elio," which disappointed at the box office in June with the lowest opening weekend in Pixar history domestically. After "Zootopia 2," Disney has the animated sequels "Toy Story 5" and "Ice Age 6" scheduled for 2026, while "Frozen 3" is set for 2027.
