What Is Boston Blue About?

In Boston Blue, Detective Danny Reagan trades the streets of New York for Boston, bringing his experience and attitude to a new police department. After decades with the NYPD, Danny accepts a position with the Boston Police Department, looking for a fresh start while reconnecting with his younger son, Sean, who has just begun his own career in law enforcement.

But Boston brings its own challenges. Danny is partnered with Detective Lena Silver, a sharp and determined investigator who happens to be the eldest daughter of one of Boston’s most prominent law enforcement families. Together, they tackle complex crimes that intertwine with the Silver family’s deep political and social roots in the city.

As the series unfolds, Danny finds himself balancing crime-solving with navigating the tangled web of the Silver family — which includes:

Mae Silver (Gloria Reuben), Boston’s District Attorney.
Sarah Silver (Maggie Lawson), Police Superintendent.
Jonah Silver (Marcus Scribner), a rookie cop.
Reverend Edwin Peters (Ernie Hudson), the family’s moral compass.

The show blends procedural police storytelling with family drama a hallmark of the Blue Bloods franchise while adding new layers of generational conflict and city politics.

Is Boston Blue a Blue Bloods Spinoff?

Yes, Boston Blue is officially a spinoff of CBS’s hit series Blue Bloods.

Donnie Wahlberg reprises his role as Detective Danny Reagan, the eldest son of Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck), who led the NYPD in the original series. While Blue Bloods centered on the Reagan family dinners and their collective service in New York, Boston Blue takes Danny out of that familiar setting and places him in a new environment with new allies and new enemies.

Thematically, the show maintains Blue Bloods’ core DNA: the moral gray areas of justice, the weight of legacy, and the bonds between family and faith. However, by expanding the story to Boston, Boston Blue introduces fresh characters and conflicts, giving long-time fans something familiar yet distinctly new.

Who Stars in Boston Blue?

The Boston Blue cast brings together familiar faces and powerful newcomers:

Donnie Wahlberg as Detective Danny Reagan — A seasoned cop whose instincts and street smarts sometimes clash with Boston’s more bureaucratic systems.
Sonequa Martin-Green as Detective Lena Silver — Danny’s new partner, determined, principled, and fiercely loyal to her family.
Gloria Reuben as Mae Silver — The city’s District Attorney, balancing law and family loyalties.
Maggie Lawson as Sarah Silver — Boston’s Police Superintendent and the pragmatic voice of authority in the Silver household.
Marcus Scribner as Jonah Silver — The youngest Silver sibling and a rookie cop looking to make his mark.
Ernie Hudson as Reverend Edwin Peters — A respected pastor whose guidance keeps the family grounded.

With this ensemble, CBS is clearly aiming for a dynamic mix of veteran and rising talent — just like the original Blue Bloods cast when it launched in 2010.

How Many Episodes Will Boston Blue Season 1 Have?

While CBS hasn’t confirmed the exact count, industry reports suggest 10–13 episodes for Boston Blue Season 1. That’s typical for a first-season procedural designed to test audience engagement before a full-season renewal.

Given the franchise’s legacy and Wahlberg’s popularity, CBS is reportedly optimistic about extending the series beyond its initial run especially if ratings mirror Blue Bloods’ enduring Friday-night success.

Is Boston Blue Connected to the Original Blue Bloods Cast?

While the focus is on Danny Reagan’s new chapter, Boston Blue leaves the door open for guest appearances from the Blue Bloods cast.

Donnie Wahlberg has hinted that the series “exists in the same universe,” meaning familiar names like Frank, Erin, or Jamie Reagan could show up in future crossover events. CBS hasn’t officially confirmed cameos, but long-time fans can expect subtle nods to the NYPD-based original throughout the season.
