Boston Blue Casts Donnie Wahlberg, Maggie Lawson for Fall Premiere

CBS is expanding the Blue Bloods universe with the new spinoff series Boston Blue, starring Donnie Wahlberg reprising his role as NYPD Officer Danny Reagan, who transfers to the Boston Police Department. The show follows the Silver family, a prominent Boston law enforcement family, with Sonequa Martin-Green playing Detective Lena Silver and Maggie Lawson joining as Sarah Silver, Lena's strong-willed stepsister and a Superintendent in the Boston PD. The series features Ernie Hudson as Reverend Peters, the patriarch of the Silver family and a respected pastor, adding further depth to the family dynamics. Boston Blue is described as a universe expansion rather than a direct continuation, with Wahlberg emphasizing the continuation of the Reagan family story alongside new characters. Anthony Hemingway, known for his acclaimed work on The People v. O.J. Simpson and The Wire, will direct and executive produce the premiere episode. The series is slated for a fall 2025 debut on Fridays at 10 p.m. on CBS, promising a blend of familiar Blue Bloods elements with new stories and characters.
