‘Blue Bloods' Spinoff Starring Donnie Wahlberg a Go at CBS
CBS is heading back to the world of Blue Bloods — at least partially. The network has given a straight-to-series order to a drama titled Boston Blue, which will see Donnie Wahlberg reprising his Blue Bloods role as Danny Reagan. The new show — CBS is calling it a 'universe expansion' of Blue Bloods — is set to premiere in the 2025-26 season. It will follow Danny as he leaves New York and takes a position with the Boston police — where he's partnered with Detective Lena Peters, the daughter of a prominent law enforcement family in the city.

The series was one of the network's most watched dramas for most of its run, and Wahlberg (among other castmembers) has said in interviews that he would have happily continued making the original series. Although the new series is set in the same world as Blue Bloods, it notably has a different creative team. Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis (The Blacklist, Alert: Missing Persons Unit) will serve as showrunners and executive produce with Jerry Bruckheimer and KristieAnne Reed of Jerry Bruckheimer Television and Wahlberg. CBS Studios is producing the new show. Boston Blue will join the Fire Country spinoff Sheriff Country (also from Bruckheimer), in CBS' 2025-26 lineup. The network has also renewed Matlock for a second season, with decisions on the bulk of its scripted lineup still to come.

Ben Affleck Brings Back the DunKings With a Lineup That Includes an NKOTB Member for Dunkin' Super Bowl Ad
The Dunkin' Super Bowl commercial starring Ben Affleck that aired during the game on Sunday (Feb. 9) is a 60-second cut, but there's much more to see: The hilarious 7-minute version titled DunKings 2: The Movie expands on the battle of the bands story. Joining Ben is his brother Casey, plus Jeremy Strong, Bill Belichick and New Kids on the Block's Donnie Wahlberg. It's a multi-part campaign that continues 'The DunKings' band theme that started with last year's Super Bowl commercial. As a statement by Dunkin' says, 'the Dunkin' Cinematic Universe keeps expanding.'

In the coffee-infused comedy, Ben finds himself getting together a crew to defend The DunKings' title, Succession star and new DunKings member Strong is 'all in for Dunkin'' — literally, thanks to devoted method acting, and the guys get in a jab at a certain coffee brand competitor. (In the ad's longer version, Ben points out that 'now the thing is diss tracks. Everyone's insulting each other. That's how you get successful.') 'This latest chapter is bigger, funnier, and full of surprises — and it reinforces what Dunkin' has always been about: great coffee, fast — plain and simple,' says Dunkin' chief marketing officer Jill McVicar Nelson. 'We have a lot to offer, from all-day breakfast to high-quality drinks served at the speed of Dunkin'. And while we take those things very seriously, we never take ourselves too seriously. DunKings for life.' Ben directed the coffee and doughnut company's latest ad under Artists Equity, the studio he founded with Matt Damon in 2022.

Dunkin Ran The Extra Mile With Its 2025 Super Bowl 'Movie'
Dunkin's 2025 Super Bowl ad — or rather – Super Bowl Movie, "DunKings 2: The Movie" is as epic as it gets. In 2024, viewers watched as Ben Affleck unleashed his inner pop star. In the sequel, Affleck takes on his competitors at the Battle of the Coffee Bands. This isn't just a regular seven-minute advertisement, it's star-studded from start to finish with everyone from Casey Affleck to the beloved duo, Jay and Silent Bob. Affleck runs on Dunkin' as he dons his Juicy Tracksuit again and hypes up the coffee brand more than ever. If the tracksuit isn't enough for you, Jeremy Strong, who is in a barrel of coffee beans, will surely bring out the part of you that yearns for a cup of fresh Dunkin's coffee. Sure, Dunkin' made itself look pretty darn good in this year's movie, but the brand did even better at comically tearing down its enemies, er, other coffee brands. Read more: The Top 14 Fast Food Value Menus, Ranked Ben Affleck and Dunkin' began their relationship in 1997 when he appeared in Good Will Hunting, and his character brought Matt Damon's character a Dunkin' coffee. Over the years, Affleck's loyalty became apparent — and entertaining — as photos of him with his Dunkin' coffee repeatedly went viral. Affleck continues to deliver entertainment by bashing Dunkin's coffee competitors. The creativity it takes to subtly bring down your opponents without so much as mentioning their names is something Dunkin' accomplished with ease. The clown you wouldn't want to run into on the streets (or anywhere), the inmate burger, the silverfish — we see you, Dunkin'. "DunKings 2: The Movie" wastes no time taking everything to the next level of absurdity, with Redcoats representing the most complex "hipster" coffee most of us have enjoyed at one time or another. Don't worry, though; Paul Revere makes an appearance as well. Dunkin's 2025 Super Bowl movie accomplishes a lot in just shy of seven minutes, but more than anything, it'll make viewers want to immerse themselves in the beans and the DunKings menu.

Trump Tells Fox News He Is Serious About Canada Becoming 51st State in Super Bowl Interview
President Donald Trump said he is serious about wanting Canada to become the 51st state in an interview that aired Sunday during the Super Bowl preshow. 'Yeah it is,' Trump told Fox News Channel's Bret Baier when asked whether his talk of annexing Canada is 'a real thing' — as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently suggested. More from The Hollywood Reporter Marvel's 'Thunderbolts' Brings Marvel's Dysfunctional Team to the Super Bowl Celebrities Fuel Super Bowl 2025's Ad Lineup: Watch Ads With Chris Pratt, Ben Affleck, Eugene Levy, Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal and More Dunkin's Epic Super Bowl Ad Starring Ben Affleck, Jeremy Strong and Bill Belichick Is Actually a 7-Minute 'DunKings 2: The Movie' Short Film 'I think Canada would be much better off being the 51st state because we lose $200 billion a year with Canada. And I'm not going to let that happen,' he said. 'Why are we paying $200 billion a year, essentially a subsidy to Canada?' The U.S. is not subsidizing Canada. The U.S. buys products from the natural resource-rich nation, including commodities like oil. While the trade gap in goods has ballooned in recent years to $72 billion in 2023, the deficit largely reflects America's imports of Canadian energy. Trump has repeatedly suggested that Canada would be better off if it agreed to become the 51st U.S. state — a prospect that is deeply unpopular among Canadians. Trudeau said Friday during a closed-door session with business and labor leaders that Trump's talk of making Canada the 51st U.S. state is 'a real thing' and is linked to his desire for access to the country's natural resources. 'Mr. Trump has it in mind that the easiest way to do it is absorbing our country and it is a real thing. In my conversations with him on,' Trudeau said, according to CBC, Canada's public broadcaster. 'They're very aware of our resources of what we have and they very much want to be able to benefit from those.' In the interview, which was pre-taped this weekend in Florida, Trump also said that he has not seen enough action from Canada and Mexico to stave off the tariffs he has threatened to impose on the country's two largest trading partners. 'No, it's not good enough,' he said. 'Something has to happen. It's not sustainable. And I'm changing it.' Trump last week agreed to a 30-day pause on his plan to slap Mexico and Canada with a 25% tariff on all imports except for Canadian oil, natural gas and electricity, which would be taxed at 10%, after the countries took steps to appease his concerns about border security and drug trafficking. While traveling Sunday on Air Force One to the championship game in New Orleans, Trump said that he would on Monday announce a 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports into the U.S., including from Canada and Mexico and a plan for reciprocal tariffs later in the week. 'Very simply it's if they charge us, we charge them,' he said. Trump's participation in the interview marked a return to tradition. Presidents have typically granted a sit-down to the network broadcasting the Super Bowl game, the most-watched television event of the year. But both Trump and his predecessor, Joe Biden, were inconsistent in their participation. Biden declined to participate last year and in 2023, when efforts by his team to have Biden speak with a Fox Corp. streaming service instead of the main network failed. During his first term, Trump participated in three out of four years. Trump on Sunday will also become the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl in person — something he told Baier he was surprised to learn. 'I thought it would be a good thing for the country to have the president at the game,' he said. During his flight to New Orleans, Trump signed a proclamation declaring Feb. 9 'the first ever Gulf of America Day' as Air Force One flew over the body of water that he renamed by proclamation from the Gulf of Mexico. Trump in the interview, also defended the work of billionaire Elon Musk, whose so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has been drawing deep concern from Democrats as he moves to shut down whole government agencies and fire large swaths of the federal workforce in the name of rooting out waste and inefficiency. Musk, Trump said, has 'been terrific,' and will target the Department of Education and the military next. 'We're going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse,' Trump predicted. 'I campaigned on this.' He was also asked about his dancing, which has become a popular meme on social media. 'I don't know what it is. I try and walk off sometimes without dancing and I can't. I have to dance because it's just that – something special about it,' Trump responded.
