The cast of Blue Bloods was one of the most solid ensembles in cop drama history, and it makes sense that the spinoff would focus on one or more of the familiar Reagan clan. So far, the only name attached is Donnie Wahlberg, who is set to reprise his role as Danny Reagan, a seasoned detective and Iraq War vet who bends the rules to crack cases. Since the series is leaving New York for Boston, it’s unclear if any other Reagans will go to Beantown. The character of detective Lena Peters has been announced, but the role isn’t cast.
The Blue Bloods Spinoff: Boston Blue Story Details
Because Blue Bloods ended on a sweet but simple note, little can be pulled from the finale to inform the plot of Boston Blue. CBS has provided a scant synopsis for the show, and it reveals that Danny Reagan will relocate to Boston to take a job as a detective with Boston PD. He’ll partner with detective Lena Peters, who is the daughter of a prominent law enforcement family in Boston. This clearly parallels Blue Blood‘s theme of family, but several gaps will need to be filled in before the show premieres.
Perhaps the biggest question is why Danny moves to Boston, something that seems out of character considering his close ties to his family. More will also need to be revealed about Peters, and it remains to be seen how the new partners will work together on cases. Regardless, Boston Blueis clearly setting up a blank slate for its debut season, and could perhaps build its characters much in the same way that Blue Bloods did across its 14 seasons.

Hot on the heels of formally announcing Boston Blue, CBS dropped a short teaser for the upcoming spinoff in March 2025. Though it only uses some stock footage of Boston and shots from Blue Bloods, the teaser shows off Donnie Wahlberg’s return and, more importantly, announces that it will premiere in fall 2025.
