Donnie Wahlberg OF BLUE BLOODS ON CBS/PARAMOUNT+
Harvey Guillén stars in “What We Do in the Shadows”
Q: With “Blue Bloods” ending, what will Donnie Wahlberg be doing next? A: Actor-singer-producer Donnie Wahlberg, who has been portraying Detective Danny Reagan on the CBS and Paramount+ police drama since 2010 will be staying in the crime genre to a certain degree, by continuing the unscripted Investigation Discovery series “Very Scary People,” which is in production now with eight new episodes. Wahlberg has been quite active in the reality-show space, also demonstrated by his involvement in the reality shows “Wahlbergers,” “Donnie Loves Jenny,” “Rock This Boat” and “Boston’s Finest.” Of course, on the musical front, the enduring group New Kids on the Block remains a professional venture for Wahlberg as well. The act’s latest album, “Still Kids,” was released earlier this year — and an “iHeartRadio Live” special featuring the boy band has been making the rounds on PBS stations lately. The group also had a “Magic Summer Tour” recently, with Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff also on the bill of performers. Though “Blue Bloods” now is in the final stretch of its first-run episodes, fans of the show will be able to watch repeats of it for some time to come. It’s a staple in repeats in syndication and on such outlets as ION Television and UPtv, and while it has been suggested by some CBS executives that “Blue Bloods” may move forward in some sort of spinoff form, no details have been confirmed officially about that … nor whether Wahlberg would be involved in it. That being said, Wahlberg’s popularity as a television-series fixture has been confirmed by the long run he has had as a pivotal member of the fictional Reagan family, so it’s more than possible that other series opportunities will come his way. Time will tell how that works out.
