Boston Blue: Everything We Know So Far About the Blue Bloods Offshoot
At least one Reagan family member's story will continue to be told when Boston Blue debuts on CBS. Ordered to series on Feb. 18 — two months after Blue Bloods ended its well-watched, 14-season run — Boston Blue finds franchise vet Donnie Wahlberg reprising his role as veteran police detective Danny Reagan. This time, however, Danny will be policing the streets of Boston, alongside a new partner. More from TVLine S.W.A.T. Vet Jay Harrington Breaks Silence on EXILES Surprise: 'I Did Not Have Spinoff on My Bingo Card' (Exclusive) Casting News: Boston Blue Adds Maggie Lawson, Lincoln Lawyer Enlists Cobie Smulders and More Survivor Turns 25: Was Jonny Fairplay's Dead Grandma Lie the Series' Most Villainous Play Ever? Vote! Who is this new partner, when will Boston Blue air, and who else will be seen on the series? Here, as they say, is everything we know so far…. Technically, no. Boston Blue since Day 1 has been described as a 'universe expansion of the long-running top drama Blue Bloods,' in part because its premise was born of an entirely unrelated project. As Deadline reported, the only Donnie Wahlberg-led Blue Bloods offshoot that had been pitched (but got passed on) would have transplanted Danny Reagan to Texas. Boston Blue showrunners Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis, meanwhile, had independently developed a series that would follow a family of cops in Boston whose eldest daughter is partnered with a new transfer from LAPD. NYPD vet Danny is now that transfer. In Boston Blue, Donnie Wahlberg's Danny Reagan takes a position with the Boston PD. Once in Boston, he is paired with detective Lena Silvers, the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family. Thus far, Donnie Wahlberg is the only Blue Bloods vet confirmed to appear on the spinoff universe expansion — though there surely will be mentions of the Reagan fam and friends back in New York, if not some flesh-and-blood cameos… eventually. 'Danny's story will continue the Reagan family's. You can't have Danny without Reagans,' Wahlberg said at a May press event. 'No Blue Bloods fans will be disappointed,' Wahlberg avowed, reiterating: 'We are really working on this universe in a way that I think the Blue Bloods viewers are going to be very happy.' First and foremost, Sonequa Martin-Green (Star Trek: Discovery, The Walking Dead) will star alongside Donnie Wahlberg as Detective Lena Silver, the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family. Additionally, Ernie Hudson (NBC's Quantum Leap reboot) has been cast as Lena's grandfather, Reverend Peters, a renowned pastor of a historic Baptist church in Boston, while Psych vet Maggie Lawson will play Boston PD Superintendent Sarah Silver, Lena's 'strong-willed' and 'decisive' stepsister. At least two other series regulars have yet to be cast. Fact is, precious few scripted TV series have ever made camp in Boston, with Robert Urich's mid-1980s crime drama, Spenser: For Hire, being one of the exceptions. ABC' A Million Little Things (see photo above) was famously set in Boston (however devoid as it was of any accents) but filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia. Even Blue Bloods patriarch Tom Selleck's Massachusetts-based Jesse Stone TV movies were filmed in Nova Scotia. Boston Blue will film some exteriors in Boston, but production will be based out of Toronto, Ontario (that's in Canada). When CBS unveiled its fall schedule, there Boston Blue was, confirmed for a fall debut and calling Blue Bloods' old Fridays-at-10/9c time slot home. There, Boston Blue will lead out of Sheriff Country and that freshman spinoff's sire, Fire Country. CBS typically sets fall premieres dates by mid-July, and TVLine will of course keep you posted on when, exactly, Boston Blue will debut. Like its ancestor Blue Bloods, Boston Blue will air on CBS, Friday nights at 10/9c, with episodes available for streaming the next day on Paramount+. Want scoop on , or for any other TV show?

The week in whoppers: McIver's ICE blame, Abrams' egotistical fantasy and more
Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions This assertion: 'ICE agents created an unnecessary and unsafe confrontation when they chose to arrest Mayor Baraka.' — Rep. LaMonica McIver, Monday We say: BZZZZZ. Wrong: ICE agents did their jobs. Advertisement It was Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and Rep. McIver who created 'an unnecessary and unsafe confrontation' when they tried to storm the Delaney Hall detention center with a horde of protesters, leaving federal law-enforcement officers with no choice but to detain them. And then McIver shoved and elbowed agents, which is why she's now facing felony charges for assaulting, resisting, and impeding federal officers. She has no one to blame but herself. This boast: Advertisement '[Republicans] are mad at me for proving that democracy can deliver.' — Stacey Abrams, Saturday We say: Deliver what, exactly? Abrams' pathetic political career has included two failed runs for Georgia's governorship and . . . not much else. She parlayed her baseless claims that the 2018 election was stolen from her into quasi-celeb status on the left; 'Star Trek: Discovery' eye-rollingly cast her as the far-future 'president of Earth.' Greenie nonprofit Power Forward Communities apparently used its ties to her to win a $2 billion grant from the Biden administration. Advertisement That Abrams has done zilch worth bragging about doesn't stop her from jumping in front of the camera to play up her empty record every chance she gets. This statement: 'Our city was attacked by the governor of Texas.' — Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Friday We say: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott didn't force Chicago to become a sanctuary city. Advertisement That decision was made by Chi-town's Democratic leaders, who only started acknowledging the border crisis once it came to their own backyard. If anyone 'attacked' Mayor Johnson's city, it was President Biden, who allowed millions of illegal immigrants to overwhelm blue cities across the country, then ignored local pols' pleas for help. Border states were drowning long before Abbott started shipping migrants elsewhere. Johnson is just angry he had to experience some of the pain from his own party's toxic policies. This advertisement: 'If Donald Trump doesn't want Andrew Cuomo as mayor, you do.' — Andrew Cuomo campaign ad, Wednesday Advertisement We say: The spin of the century! The Justice Department launched an investigation into the former governor for allegedly lying to Congress about nursing-home deaths during COVID, and Cuo is trying to use it as campaign fodder. He might as well say: Yes, my decisions killed a few grandmas, but have you thought about the fact that Trump doesn't like me? It's beyond ghoulish. Cuomo's record — the toxic climate law, crime-exploding bail reform and horrific mismanagement of the pandemic — is so bad he's resorted to the most popular (and lazy) Democratic fallback: being the 'anti-Trump' candidate. — Compiled by The Post Editorial Board

Harry Potter Fame Jason Isaacs to Star in Gothic Horror Victorian Psycho After White Lotus Success
Jason Isaacs has joined the cast of the forthcoming psychological horror-thriller Victorian Psycho, alongside Maika Monroe and Thomasin McKenzie. The film tracks Winifred Notty, a demented young governess brought in to teach the children of the estate manners and family history. Under her courteous exterior, however, lies a dark, psychopathic disposition. As Notty acclimatizes to her position, the staff at the estate start to disappear, suspecting her of ulterior motives. "In 1858, an eccentric young governess, Winifred Notty, arrives at the remote gothic manor, Ensor House. As Winifred assimilates, staff begin to inexplicably disappear, and the owners wonder if something is amiss about this new governess," the official description of the movie reads. According to Deadline, the movie is directed by Zachary Wigon and scripted by novelist Virginia Feito based on her own book. Isaacs plays the character of Mr. Pounds, the mysterious owner of the isolated gothic mansion, Ensor House. Production is set to start in August, after a prolonged development period. Anton is financing the project in its entirety and is also handling U.S. rights. Wigon, the director, had kind words for Isaacs's nuanced performance, stating the actor applies "enormous precision" to the subtleties of human conduct. Wigon was thrilled to have Isaacs play the "mercurial" Mr. Pounds. Wigon told the outlet, " Jason depicts the nuances of human psychology and behavior with enormous precision. I'm thrilled for him to be joining Victorian Psycho—it'll be fascinating to watch him bring to life the enigmatic and mercurial owner of Ensor House, Mr. John Pounds." Jason Isaacs also recently starred in HBO's third season of The White Lotus, which was a massive success. He is also most famous for his work in the film series Harry Potter, Star Trek: Discovery, and more.
