Donnie Wahlberg & Sonequa Martin-Green To Unveil ‘Boston Blue’ At MIPCOM Cannes World Premiere

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.

Catching up with Donnie

Lots to catch up with Donnie today! Let's start with this video of Donnie and Sonequa Martin-Green filming in Toronto (posted on July 25): 


Here's another clip of them in Toronto from Sean O'Shea of Global News


Taping for Boston Blue has moved to Boston this week! (I think the majority of the show will be taped in Toronto, but they will occasionally film in Boston).  

First, Donnie attended the Boston Red Sox vs Houston Astros game on Sunday. Here is a photo from Getty Images where he shakes the hand of Manager Alex Cora. 


Here is a photo from Bob DeChiara on Instagram:


Donnie was also spotted in the North End of Boston on Sunday. 


He was filming scenes for "Boston Blue" in Boston Common on Monday. Here is a quick news story from WHDH.


WBZ posted this quick interview with Donnie where he talks a bit about the Red Sox:


Because Donnie is in town filming outdoors, there are a lot of new photos and videos from fans and media outlets! (Credits are shown in the embedded clips. I did my best to try to find the original sources, but sometimes they get re-posted, and it's unclear where it came from. Let me know if any are not correct or if anyone wants their post removed).

Here's a photo of Donnie on set in Boston Common on Monday (thanks to Robin for sending the following 2 links): 


And here is a video by Ron Perreault on Facebook: 


Here are some more clips from Monday: 










For the previous two videos, the original videos were by cmarino78 on Instagram stories.

Donnie's brother, Jim even visited him on set (swipe for another nice Donnie photo): 


Here is an action shot from tenaciousdani76:


On Tuesday he went back to Fenway Park to film for Boston Blue! 

They comment on him wearing a New York Mets t-shirt in this clip from MLB:

Sadly, we lost another Blockhead recently and Donnie made this touching post about her.


If you would like to help her family with medical and funeral expenses, a Go Fund Me has been set up here.
