Blue Bloods’ Donnie Wahlberg Admits He ‘Can’t Wait’ As He Shares Huge Career Announcement


Donnie Wahlberg took to Instagram to share some exciting news and pay tribute to the crew behind the true-crime series, Very Scary People.

While he’s a household name to Blue Bloods viewers and New Kids on the Block listeners, Donnie’s on-screen projects venture far and wide. And now, the CBS drama star revealed he’d be back for another season of the reality series Very Scary People – and he had some sweet words for his colleagues.

Very Scary People takes a deep dive into the twisted and abhorrent lives of some of history’s most notorious criminals.

Donnie serves as host of the show and episodes in seasons gone by have included examinations into the lives of killers like John Wayne Gacy, Charles Manson and David Berkowitz.

Four seasons in and Very Scary People had proven itself to be one of HLN’s most popular shows – and Donnie confirmed season five is on its way on Discovery+’s Investigation Discovery.

Sharing the exciting announcement on Instagram, Donnie posed alongside his cast and crew members to confirm the news.

The Blue Bloods star stopped short of delving into which criminals the new season would be looking at, however.
