A slice of Boston is coming to Cannes. Boston Blue will have its world premiere at MIPCOM Cannes in October and Donnie Wahlberg and Sonequa Martin-Green will be in town for the screening in the famed Grand Auditorium of the Palais des Festivals.

The premiere of the Blue Bloods offshoot will take place on October 12, on the eve of the MIPCOM market kicking off. The show bows on CBS in the U.S. on October 17.

Paramount Global Content Distribution is selling the series and will hope a room full of buyers will fire up international interest in the show, which see Boston-born Wahlberg reprising his role as NYPD Detective Danny Reagan.

In the series he is paired with Detective Lena Silver (Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family. As Reagan settles into his new city, he also hopes to reconnect with his younger son, Sean (Mika Amonsen), who is beginning his own police career in the city.

The premiere episode that is screening in Cannes also features a guest appearance from Bridget Moynahan, reprising her role as Danny’s sister Erin Reagan. Moynahan will also direct a later episode in the series.

“We are excited to bring Donnie Wahlberg and Sonequa Martin-Green to Cannes to help us unveil the first episode of Boston Blue, the next chapter in the Blue Bloods universe, to global media executives at the Opening Night World Premiere at MIPCOM Cannes,” said Lisa Kramer, President, International Content Licensing, Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Lucy Smith, Director of MIPCOM Cannes, added: “Interest in the Reagan family and the Blue Bloods universe is deep seated and truly global, making this next chapter, led by the brilliant Donnie Wahlberg with its new setting, characters and stories a perfect premiere on the eve of MIPCOM Cannes this year.”

The calendar of international TV events and markets has been redrawn in recent years, notably with the demise of MIPTV in the spring and advent of MIP London in Feb. MIPCOM – now officially MIPCOM Cannes to give it its full title – remains the biggest event of the year, attracting about 10,000 execs.

Boston Blue is produced by CBS Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer Television. Wahlberg is an exec producer alongside Jerry Bruckheimer and KristieAnne Reed, as well as the lead in the series. Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis are showrunnners and are also EPs.
