The world of CBS’ Blue Bloods is not staying out of primetime for too lengthy regardless of the unique sequence wrapping after practically 300 episodes over 14 season in late 2024. Boston Blue will companion Donnie Wahlberg’s Detective Danny Reagan with Star Trek: Discovery vet Sonequa Martin-Inexperienced as Detective Lena Silver. Now, only one week after information broke {that a} Psych alum joined the solid for the premiere within the fall 2025 TV schedule, a former ER actress is on board… regardless of taking part in a unique character not as soon as however twice on the unique Blue Bloods.
Gloria Reuben joins Boston Blue as a sequence common, in accordance with Deadline, and he or she’ll double as Boston’s District Lawyer and the mother of Martin-Inexperienced’s character. Named Mae Silver, the character was married to a decide who was murdered whereas on the steps of the courtroom. Mae needs to place household forward of labor when she will, and the household is so stacked with legislation enforcement that I am positively reminded of Blue Bloods‘ Reagans.
Along with daughter Lena (Sonequa Martin-Inexperienced) as a police detective, Mae’s stepdaughter Sarah (performed by Psych‘s Maggie Lawson) is the Police Superintendent whereas her son is a rookie cop. Her dad, performed by the long-lasting Ernie Hudson, appears to fall exterior of the legislation enforcement bubble, as he is a reverend.
However Gloria Reuben might have no introduction as an actress for any Boston Blue followers who come to the brand new present from Blue Bloods. The actress performed Particular Agent Rachel Weber within the closing two episodes of Blue Bloods Season 11, each of which can be found streaming with a Paramount+ subscription now.
I would say that it is a protected guess that Boston Blue is not going to drop a twist that Mae Silver and Rachel Weber are in some way the identical particular person. In spite of everything, it is hardly unprecedented for actors to play a number of characters inside the identical franchise. The depend of stars who did simply that’s properly into the double digits over in NBC’s Regulation & Order world!
Reuben can also be a well-known face throughout CBS dramas, together with Elsbeth, The Equalizer, NCIS: Hawai’i, and naturally Blue Bloods earlier than Boston Blue premieres within the fall. Her Blue Bloods arrival was a Jesse Stone reunion for Tom Selleck, however she’ll be extra prone to share the display with Selleck’s on-screen son in just some months, Donnie Wahlberg main Boston Blue as Danny Reagan.
Reuben’s casting will mark a particular reunion with Sonequa Martin-Inexperienced, as the 2 performed mom and daughter in My Lifeless Buddy Zoe. All in all, Boston Blue is slowly however certainly filling up, though questions stay about whether or not any Reagans apart from Danny can have an element to play. Donnie Wahlberg opened about in regards to the sense of mourning Blue Bloods whereas additionally being excited for that world to proceed with Boston Blue.
The wait will not be too lengthy, as CBS is not holding Boston Blue for midseason just like the state of affairs with Watson. Whereas the community hasn’t introduced a selected premiere date but, the brand new present has inherited the outdated Blue Bloods time slot of 10 p.m. ET on CBS Fridays. With S.W.A.T.‘s cancellation, the brand new Friday night time on the community might be comprised of Sheriff Nation, Hearth Nation, and Boston Blue.
