Boston Blue, the new Blue Bloods spinoff, will reclaim a signature trait that CBS tried and failed to replicate with another show. For 14 years, Blue Bloods was one of the network's most popular shows, yet it was one of the first TV shows CBS canceled in 2025. The cancellation led to a mass fan-led movement to save Blue Bloods. Although that movement was ultimately unsuccessful, the network developed a spinoff for the 2025-2026 season, again starring Donnie Wahlberg as Danny Reagan.
