With new television shows – even with spin-offs – we do get that casting changes. We’re understanding that things change (even when we don’t like it) in real life and in the fake lives that we watch on television.
While we aren’t ashamed that we’ve seen every episode of Blue Bloods, when the show got cancelled, we never thought it would be something we would be dealing with. While it’s always felt natural for Donnie Wahlberg to be in Boston – having Danny Reagan be there feels quite awkward. He’s quintessential New York.
But him being there in part because of his son? Well that does make sense. Sean wanting to make a name for himself outside of being a Reagan? That does make sense.
Boston Blue started filming this week and that means that we’re getting more information. Like for instance that Sean Reagan has been recast. Mika Amonsen will be taking over the role that originated on Blue Bloods with Andrew Terraciano.
In Boston Blue, we’re following Danny Reagan as he moves from the NYPD to the Boston Police Department. Sean Reagan has also moved to Boston, with his character description reading, “Sean committed himself to pursuing his family’s legacy but wanted to do so on his own terms, which meant joining a department outside of his hometown. Danny’s decision to stay in Boston gives this father and son duo a chance to reconnect on a deeper level.”
While we weren’t expecting this, we have to admit that we are excited to see what happens next.
The Boston Blue cast also includes Sonequa Martin-Green, Gloria Reuben, Ernie Hudson, Maggie Lawson and Marcus Scribner.
