Blue Bloods star Donnie Wahlberg revealed on Twitter Wednesday that his favorite show that he does not star in is Yellowstone. The reaction from fans was overwhelmingly positive, as it turns out the two shows featuring Hollywood legends has crossover appeal. Both feature multi-generational families dealing with challenges, led by a strong patriarchal figure.

“Wooooohooooo! My favorite show (that I do not act in) is coming back!” Wahlberg tweeted, alongside a link to the Yellowstone Season 3 trailer. “[Yellowstone] through the entire summer, then hand the baton off to [Blue Bloods] when it comes back in the fall! Can’t wait! It’s that good! Seriously!”

In a recent interview with PopCulture.com, Wahlberg said he hoped future episodes would give him more opportunities to work with some of the co-stars he does not get to share stories with too often. “We have a great cast with so many great people, it’s hard to work with them all,” he explained. “I’ve barely done any scenes with Will Estes in the last season or two, so it’s hard. You look around and three years have passed and you’ve only done one scene with somebody and it’s kind of like, how did that happen? But hopefully we’ll keep going.”

Previous episodes are available to stream on the Paramount Network website with a cable or satellite log-in.
