CBS AND WAHLBURGERS BRING THE "BLUE BLOODS" FAMILY DINNER EXPERIENCE TO FANS' HOMES DURING THE SERIES' FINAL SEASON

Celebrate the Final Season of the Beloved CBS Drama Series with Chef Paul Wahlberg's Exclusive "Blue Bloods" Recipe Series, Launching Monday, Oct. 14 on YouTube

CBS and Wahlburgers are giving BLUE BLOODS fans the chance to bring the beloved series' iconic Reagan family dinners into their own homes across America. On Monday, Oct. 14, Chef Paul Wahlberg - brother of BLUE BLOODS star Donnie Wahlberg - will roll out the first of eight recipes aligned with the CBS series' Sunday dinner on each episode of its final season. The show's fall premiere (Friday, Oct. 18) will find the Reagans catching up over a hearty roast beef meal with all the trimmings; Chef Paul will release his instructional video and written recipes for a delicious corresponding meal of roast beef, roasted potatoes, green beans and carrots that previous Monday.

These recipes will enable fans and food enthusiasts to cook these special dishes in their own kitchens, capturing the spirit of the Reagan family's Sunday meals, which are much like the traditional family get-togethers cherished by Donnie, Mark and Paul, the trio of brothers who own Wahlburgers.

Chef Paul invites everyone to join the BLUE BLOODS' and Wahlburgers' weekly tradition: Bringing family and friends together for dinner by participating in this one-of-a-kind culinary journey. Whether a longtime fan of the show or someone who simply loves an excellent family meal, this BLUE BLOODS recipe series allows family and friends to honor the Reagan family's legacy and create new traditions with their own loved ones.

To join in the celebration of cooking at home, follow Wahlburgers on Instagram, join the WahlClub or follow BLUE BLOODS' Instagram (@bluebloods_cbs) and YouTube channels (@bluebloods) to access exclusive recipes that link directly to weekly YouTube episodes. Each episode features Chef Paul guiding viewers through the preparation of each dish, sharing not only cooking tips but also the stories and inspiration behind his recipes.

"As a chef and someone who values the importance of family traditions, it's an incredible honor to celebrate the legacy of BLUE BLOODS with some Wahlburgers magic," said Chef Paul. "The Reagan family's dinners have always been about more than just the food - they're about the connections we make around the dinner table in the same way my own family did. I'm thrilled to share these recipes with our fans, and I hope they inspire families and friends to come together, just like the Reagans do every week."

"BLUE BLOODS' multigenerational Reagan family dinners are, by all accounts, the heart of every episode - and these Sunday meals have really resonated with the shows' devoted fans through the years - so I couldn't be more pleased with our BLUE BLOODS recipes partnership with Wahlburgers and Donnie Wahlberg's brother, Chef Paul, to honor BLUE BLOODS' final season," said Mike Benson, president and chief marketing officer at CBS. "For the first time, fans - and anyone who loves cooking - can get a preview of the Reagans' meal to cook for a gathering or possibly eat as their own home-cooked 'TV dinner' while watching the episode."
