Blue Bloods spinoff: Donnie Wahlberg Weighs In on the Future of the Reagans!
Donnie Wahlberg on a Potential Blue Bloods Spinoff: A Farewell and a Maybe?
Get ready, Blue Bloods fans! The beloved police procedural, starring Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, and a whole crew of amazing actors, is nearing its end. But with a show this good, fans naturally wonder – what happens next? A spinoff? It sounds obvious and possible. Even the creators agree that it is certainly possible. We're not the only ones thinking this, folks. Donnie Wahlberg himself recently offered up some intriguing thoughts on this whole spin-off business.
Wahlberg (playing the iconic Danny Reagan) gave an interview to TV Insider where he teased possibilities concerning his continued presence in that world of Blue Bloods, noting those important aspects which matter the most to the main cast members themselves, hinting at what may come: future storytelling directions. He was rather clear – should there be another Blue Bloods project; there must be the same attention to detail as before! And what did he say about a spin-off?
"There’s been a lot of talk about spinoffs, about various spinoffs, all types of concepts of spinoffs. I, for me personally, would say whatever happens next, if it’s done with the spirit of Blue Bloods and done with the care that we tried to put into Blue Bloods every week, it would be something that I would look forward to watching or being a part of either way. I’ve heard stories of prequels, sequels, you name it. For me personally, I love the show. I’ve enjoyed working on it for 14 years and like I said, whatever comes next, as long as it has family at its core and the spirit of Blue Bloods, then I’m all for it."
What Wahlberg's Words Mean For Blue Bloods' Future
Wahlberg's love for Blue Bloods is no secret. He’s openly talked about it before; and those words in August concerning the ending of filming? He called it “a dream.” This kind of deeply affectionate response from him emphasizes just how well he truly likes being on this show. He mentions the team; those important individuals behind and in front of the camera and has even implied that he’d love another opportunity to work with them. A Blue Bloods spinoff could definitely make this possible. It creates an environment to satisfy viewers deeply disappointed the show is ending! There’s plenty of support out there; not just fans; actors like Selleck also talked publicly, hoping to find continued success with Blue Bloods!
And what does it imply about a spin-off? It suggests a cautious approach from those heavily invested in Blue Bloods; those most intimately connected to the entire project are clear— it has to be good! A quality project; showing respect and attention; preserving the show’s core family dynamics and those amazing characteristics that made Blue Bloods a fan favorite. This isn't simply about rehashing existing characters – there are plenty of different stories that can continue the family legacy, but those involved must be passionate about these changes.
Spinoff Chances: A Look at the Odds
Despite Wahlberg's enthusiasm and similar comments from other major actors involved with Blue Bloods, CBS hasn’t said anything about a spin-off yet. This fact doesn’t greatly suggest that the production team behind Blue Bloods itself truly wants to continue this legacy. Their willingness to continue in the past after facing fan disapproval from prior changes emphasizes the fact that simply appeasing fan base’s demands might not necessarily become a top priority for everyone involved.
The final season 14 ratings matter. That may ultimately seal the deal; as even actor support and audience approval can’t ensure a spinoff unless a quality project and proper financing could be arranged. A strong finish could persuade CBS, and even generate greater enthusiasm.
Conclusion: Will the Reagans Return? The Future of Blue Bloods
Blue Bloods’ ending marks the closing of one chapter, but there remains those hints suggesting future possibilities that many fans would be eager to participate within! Wahlberg's comments alone show those kinds of hopeful aspects regarding future developments— he’s not opposed; but also acknowledges how critically important preserving its quality would be, emphasizing that merely following those audience demands alone wouldn't necessarily guarantee a truly high quality and worthy extension. There's plenty to be hopeful for, particularly concerning what those key individuals might produce in the near future, considering how immensely well the existing storylines had been planned out; and there exists a massive base for producing various spinoff ideas, especially ones involving previously unexplored sub-plots, character dynamics and overall development for a renewed Blue Bloods experience!
