Blue Bloods had a very successful and long run on CBS, all the more impressive because the series aired late on Friday nights, when viewership is often quite low. That beloved series has ended but one of the show’s main characters is back in his own show, Boston Blue. Will this spin-off also have a long run or, quickly run out of gas without the rest of the Reagan clan? Will Boston Blue be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A police procedural series, the Boston Blue TV show was developed by Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis. A spin-off of Blue Bloods, the series stars Donnie Wahlberg, Sonequa Martin-Green, Ernie Hudson, Maggie Lawson, Gloria Reuben, Marcus Scribner, and Mika Amonsen. Bridget Moynahan guests. In the story, Danny Reagan (Wahlberg) leaves NYC and takes a position with the Boston Police Department. He’s paired with detective Lena Silver (Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family. The Silver family also includes Boston district attorney Mae Silver (Reuben), police superintendent Sarah Silver (Lawson), rookie cop Jonah Silver (Scribner), and renowned Baptist pastor Reverend Edwin Peters (Hudson). As Reagan settles into his new city, he hopes to reconnect with his younger son, Sean (Amonsen), who is beginning his own career in Boston.
