Big changes are coming to the world of Blue Bloods! Donnie Wahlberg is officially diving into the spinoff series, Boston Blue, but not everything is staying the same. Fans were shocked to learn that a familiar face won't be returning.
Sean Reagan Recast: A New Chapter for Danny
Andrew Terraciano, who played Danny Reagan's youngest son, Sean, for all 14 seasons of Blue Bloods, will not be reprising his role. Instead, Mika Amonsen will be stepping into the shoes of Sean Reagan. This marks a significant change for the spinoff, as Sean's move to Boston is set to play a key role in Danny's storyline.
Why the Change?
The reason for the recasting remains unclear. Terraciano, in a heartfelt social media post after the Blue Bloods finale, expressed gratitude for his time on the show and bid farewell to his character. The show was cancelled by CBS and the spinoff was created to continue the story.
What to Expect from the New Sean Reagan
Amonsen's portrayal of Sean will see the character as a patrolman for the Boston Police Department, determined to forge his own path while honoring his family's legacy. This new dynamic presents an opportunity for Danny and Sean to "reconnect on a deeper level," according to reports.
A Fresh Start in Boston
Boston Blue promises a fresh start for Danny Reagan as he brings his New York City experience to a new city. The cast also includes Sonequa Martin-Green as Lena Silver, Gloria Reuben as Mae Silver, Maggie Lawson as Sarah Silver, Marcus Scribner as Jonah Silver and Ernie Hudson as Reverend Peters. Wahlberg shared a photo from the first table read, expressing excitement for this “new chapter.” The pilot episode is written by Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis and directed by Anthony Hemingway.
