Donnie Wahlberg is bringing extra police procedural drama to CBS because the Blue Bloods star has bought two new tasks to the community by CBS Studios.
According to Deadline, the 2 tasks are each cop dramas, Samaritan and Harbor Blue, with writers Steven Kane (Halo) and Chad Gomez Creasey (NCIS) helming the exhibits. Wahlberg serves as govt producer on each tasks.
Samaritan is written by Kane and based mostly on a narrative by Kane and Creasey and facilities on a partnership between a younger hustler and a grizzled detective. After a “glitch” in an app notifies a younger lady of crimes and emergencies earlier than they occur, she groups up with a veteran cop to stop tragedies from ever occurring.
Harbor Blue, in the meantime, is written and govt produced by Creasey. It follows a workforce of adrenaline junkies from the NYPD Harbor Unit, tasked with securing and policing the 576 miles of treacherous waterfront surrounding all 5 boroughs, delivering justice to criminals on and off the water.
Wahlberg at present performs Danny Reagan on CBS’ cop drama Blue Bloods, which is now airing its thirteenth season. Creasey is a co-executive producer on CBS’ NCIS and, earlier than that, served as exec producer on NCIS: New Orleans. Meanwhile, Kane serves as exec producer and showrunner of Paramount+’s Halo; earlier than that, he co-created TNT’s The Last Ship.
Earlier this yr, CBS debuted two new procedurals, the primary, East New York, comes from the exec producers of NYPD Blue and follows the officers in a working-class neighborhood on the sting of Brooklyn amid social upheaval and the early seeds of gentrification. The second was Fire Country, starring Max Thieriot as Bode Donovan, a younger convict in search of redemption and a shortened jail sentence by becoming a member of a prison-release firefighting program.
