Blue Bloods has ended its run on CBS, but fans of the long-running procedural have something to be happy about: a spinoff of the series has been given a straight-to-series order to air on the network next season. Titled Boston Blue, the spinoff will star Donnie Wahlberg, with his character relocating to Boston and joining their police department. Boston Blue was not initially conceived as a Blue Bloods spinoff, and this project is different than the ones that were said to be in early development around the time Blue Bloods went off the air, one of which was also centered around Wahlberg's Danny Reagan. Boston Blue is one of two spinoffs already confirmed for next season on CBS, along with Fire Country offshoot Sheriff Country, while spinoffs of The Equalizer, The Neighborhood and FBI are also in development, without any official orders yet for any of those.
