CBS is launching Boston Blue, a fresh spin-off from Blue Bloods that introduces a new generation of law enforcement in Boston. While Blue Bloods fans will miss Tom Selleck’s Frank Reagan and Bridget Moynahan’s Erin Reagan, Boston Blue promises to bring a fresh dynamic with new characters and storylines while keeping the heart of the Reagan family legacy alive through Donnie Wahlberg’s Danny Reagan.

At the center of the new series is the Silver family, a prominent Boston family with deep roots in law enforcement. Sonequa Martin-Green stars as Detective Lena Silver, Danny Reagan’s new partner. The show explores Lena’s complex family relationships, including her grandfather, Reverend Peters, played by Ernie Hudson, and her mother, the District Attorney Mae Silver, portrayed by Gloria Reuben. Alongside them is Maggie Lawson as Sarah Silver, the Boston Police Department’s superintendent, and Marcus Scribner as Jonah Silver, a rookie patrol officer, adding fresh perspectives and generational tension to the mix.

The move from New York to Boston gives Boston Blue a distinct atmosphere, capturing the city’s unique character while staying true to the crime procedural and family drama formula that made Blue Bloods a hit. With a mix of new faces and familiar tones, the spin-off aims to carve out its own identity while appealing to loyal fans of the original series.

Boston Blue is set to premiere in fall 2025, marking a new chapter in the Blue Bloods universe. As the show develops, audiences can expect gripping police work intertwined with rich family stories that reflect the challenges and triumphs of a new generation of law enforcement officers.
