'Now, it's just Danny going to this new world, but I can't say a lot about it — but I could say, if he's a Reagan, it will never be just Danny. There'll always be a Reagan a phone call away. And the traditions that the Reagans have, Danny wouldn't abandon those traditions.'

‘Boston Blue' Recasts Sean Reagan, Taps Mika Amonsen As Danny's Son In ‘Blue Bloods' Offshoot
Danny Reagan's youngest son Sean will look a little different when he appears alongside his dad on CBS' upcoming drama series Boston Blue. Mika Amonsen has been cast as a series regular opposite Donnie Wahlberg on the Blue Bloods offshoot, taking over the role of Sean Reagan. 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. More from Deadline 'Boston Blue' Adds 'Black-Ish' Alum Marcus Scribner 'Boston Blue': Gloria Reuben Joins 'Blue Bloods' Offshoot For CBS 'Boston Blue': Maggie Lawson Joins 'Blue Bloods' Offshoot For CBS 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.

‘Boston Blue' spin-off confirmed with Donnie Wahlberg; fan-favourite role recast as series moves in new direction
The Blue Bloods universe is set to expand with a new spin-off series titled 'Boston Blue', but one familiar face will be missing from the cast. Donnie Wahlberg will reprise his role as Detective Danny Reagan, a character he played throughout all 14 seasons of the original police procedural. The upcoming series, which shifts its setting from New York to Boston, will also follow Danny's son Sean Reagan as he begins his career as a patrol officer in the Boston Police Department. However, the character of Sean will no longer be portrayed by Andrew Terraciano. Terraciano, who appeared in 292 out of 293 episodes of 'Blue Bloods', will be replaced by actor Mika Amonsen. Best known for guest appearances in 'Suits' and 'Reacher', Amonsen steps into the role with no public explanation offered for the casting change. Neither CBS nor Terraciano has commented on the recasting, and the actor has remained silent since the conclusion of 'Blue Bloods', aside from a heartfelt farewell post on social media when filming wrapped in 2024. Andrew had written, 'It feels like, after 15 years, 'family' isn't a big enough word for all of the people at Blue Bloods that have changed me, and helped me, and grown with me (sic).' "When this show started, I was just a strange six year old, and I was surrounded by people who, even then, seemed like kids to me - now so many of them have grown and changed and helped create such a fantastic story for the Reagans as a whole, and for our extended family of viewers (sic)," he added. The cancellation of 'Blue Bloods' by CBS in 2024, despite vocal protests from its cast and loyal fanbase, marked the end of a 14-year run that began in 2010. The original series chronicled the lives of the Reagan family, led by police commissioner Frank Reagan, portrayed by Tom Selleck, and his children—all of whom served in various branches of law enforcement. 'Boston Blue' was announced just two months after the original series ended, a move that signalled CBS's intent to continue building on the show's legacy. The new series, penned by writers Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis, will delve into Danny Reagan's new chapter in Boston while exploring Sean's journey through the ranks of the city's police force. Joining Wahlberg and Amonsen in the cast are Sonequa Martin-Green, Gloria Reuben, Maggie Lawson, Marcus Scribner, and Ernie Hudson. It remains unconfirmed whether Tom Selleck will make any appearances in the spin-off. Production details and a premiere date for 'Boston Blue' have not yet been announced.
