Danny Reagan takes a position with Boston PD and is paired with Detective Lena Peters, the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family, as they work together to bring justice to the city.
This year, major global distributors and networks (including Paramount, Sony, and ZDF) are expected to attend in search of the next breakout hits. Three titles are already generating buzz: Boston Blue, The Miniature Wife, and Ku’damm 77, all screened exclusively at the Grand Auditorium of the Palais des Festivals.
The opening night of MIPCOM 2025 was marked by the world premiere of Boston Blue. In this gritty police drama, Donnie Wahlberg reprises his role as Danny Reagan, a former NYPD detective now transferred to Boston, while Sonequa Martin-Green plays Lena Silver, a young detective from a long line of police officers. The plot blends themes of homecoming, redemption, and family tension as Reagan tries to reconnect with his son Sean (Mika Amonsen), while facing an investigation with complex ramifications.
Premiering yesterday in its international debut, The Miniature Wife has already caught attention for its daring concept. The story begins with a technological mishap: a wife (played by Elizabeth Banks, known for Pitch Perfect and The Hunger Games) is accidentally miniaturized, triggering an unexpected power struggle between the spouses. Alongside her, Matthew Macfadyen (Succession, Death by Lightning) portrays the overwhelmed husband struggling to cope with the transformation. The series promises a sharp, inventive exploration of intimacy, imbalance, and modern relationships through a contemporary, darkly comic lens.
