As a long-time gamer of the TV series world, I must say that the news of potential spinoffs for Blue Bloods has me buzzing with excitement! After watching this iconic show for over a decade, it’s hard to imagine life without the Reagans, but if CBS is smart, they’ll find ways to keep their franchise alive and kicking.
It appears that the TV show “Blue Bloods” is preparing, not just for one, but for two spin-offs. This suggestion seems to come from the major casting news regarding Season 14B
It’s quite astonishing that, despite running for 14 seasons and being a major success on its network, Blue Bloods hasn’t spawned any spinoffs. Given CBS’s fondness for franchise shows like FBI and NCIS, one would expect a spinoff to be the norm. In fact, even Fire Country, which has only been around for two seasons, is getting a spinoff
The reason for the success of “Blue Bloods” might lie in its frequent focus on the Reagan family, rather than other characters, making it challenging to imagine the show without this familial tie. This strong family bond has been instrumental in the show’s popularity, despite the fact that the second half of Season 14 will mark its end
There’s been talk of a potential spinoff involving Donnie Wahlberg, with him suggesting the possibility himself, although it might not focus on his character, Danny Reagan. The challenge lies in introducing new characters within this universe, as a show without the Reagans may struggle to appeal to fans
It’s fascinating to learn that two well-known actresses will join Season 14B. Their fame precedes them, and it seems that each of their appearances could serve as a precursor for a potential spinoff, hinting at Blue Bloods possibly setting the stage for its future with these episodes
Blue Bloods add major guest stars for final episodes
According to TV Insider, the debut episode of Season 14B will introduce Debi Mazar, who is currently starring on Netflix’s “Kaos.” She will portray Evaline Romano, a tough District Attorney from Queens. This no-nonsense prosecutor is looking into potential misconduct by ADA Erin Reagan (played by Bridget Moynahan) involving a jury member in a crucial gang trial. Rumors suggest that Romano doesn’t hold the Reagans in high regard and appears ready to confront Erin, setting up a potential conflict between the two characters
In the November 1st episode, I find myself introduced to Mira Sorvino as Veronica Radley, the fresh Fire Commissioner. She and Frank (Tom Selleck) share a history of disagreements with Mayor Peter Chase (Dylan Walsh) over how to manage things. Yet, when Frank attempts to smooth things over between us, Commissioner Radley reveals her fiery temper and straight-talking demeanor, which could potentially escalate the situation further
In simpler terms, both actresses are highly recognized figures in the series they’re involved with. Mazar, a seasoned professional with a long list of films and multiple television series under her belt including ‘Entourage’, ‘Younger’, and countless guest appearances that are too numerous to mention, is one of them. Sorvino, on the other hand, gained fame for her Academy Award-winning performance in ‘Mighty Aphrodite’ and has recently shifted her focus to television with shows like ‘Shining Vale’
As a dedicated gamer, I’ve been enjoying the cameos from these talented actresses. Yet, the real question on my mind is whether any of them are being lined up for their very own spin-off series
Could we be getting Blue Bloods spinoffs?
As I delve into each episode, it’s clear they’re setting the stage for a potential spin-off – what I like to call a “behind-the-scenes launchpad”. The Queens District Attorney office seems to be where Mazar’s show might unfold, and while it may lack Manhattan’s glitz, it promises a gritty, real-life drama
Regarding Radley, it’s an obvious fit to have a fire department equivalent of the “Bloods” in the storyline, perhaps making the Radleys a family of firefighters similar to the Reagans. Veronica could be following this tradition. Mira Sorvino has shown her acting prowess for such a role, and there’s potential for conflict as some within the NYFD might not welcome a woman taking charge. New York City provides ample material for a fire/rescue series, making it a promising counterpart to “Chicago Fire.” With her star power, Sorvino could effectively lead the show and hold it together
It is currently uncertain as these appearances could just be for a single episode. However, the selection of well-known actors like Sorvino and the significant focus given to them in these episodes might be the producers gauging audience reactions to potentially giving these characters their own series
As “Blue Bloods” nears its conclusion, it seems there might be a glimpse into the future of the series for devoted viewers
Blue Bloods Season 14B premieres Friday October 18 at 10/9c on CBS.
