CBS Drops First Look at 'Blue Bloods' Spinoff 'Boston Blue'
The Blue Bloods spinoff, Boston Blue, is turning out to be one of the most highly anticipated shows of the 2025-2026 television season. Now, CBS is making sure fans get a tease of what is to come this fall.
The network revealed on May 7 that the show will air on Friday nights at 10 p.m., following Sheriff Country at 8 p.m. and Fire Country at 9 p.m. It will be an all-Jerry Bruckheimer-produced block of shows. CBS also gave fans a look at what they can expect this fall with a 10-second clip starring Donnie Wahlberg, who reprises his role as Danny Reagan.
"Donnie Wahlberg here," he said in the video. "Can't wait for you to see my new series, Boston Blue. Coming CBS fall." The clip shows a scenic look at the Massachusetts state capital and a snippet of Danny back in action but in a new city. It's just enough to hold viewers for a few months ahead of its premiere.
The storyline for the series, via CBS, proves that Danny hasn't skipped a beat. "Donnie Wahlberg reprises his role as NYPD veteran Danny Reagan as he joins the Boston PD and partners with Detective Lena Peters (Sonequa Martin-Green), a rising star from a powerful law enforcement family. New city. New partner. Same commitment to justice," the logline reads.
Martin-Green's casting was announced on May 7 and she's excited to be back working for CBS after a turn on Star Trek: Discovery as Michael Burnham for Paramount+.
“We love the Reagans. We have all loved the Reagans for so long,” Martin-Green said, via Variety. “And I feel that we’ll love the Peters too. I’m super excited for this partnership, and to be back in a CBS family — and in this family, your family. It means a lot, and I’m grateful for it. I think we’re going to have a good time.”
More of the cast will likely be revealed in the weeks ahead, but Wahlberg has promised Reagan family cameos already. "Danny’s story will continue the Reagan family. You can’t have Danny without Reagans — there’ll be connective tissue," he confirmed. "But we’re also going to get to discover a new family and carry on the tradition of telling their stories.”
