CBS is ushering in a new era of law and order with Boston Blue, a spinoff of its long-running procedural Blue Bloods. Set against the raw, working-class backdrop of Boston, the new series stars Donnie Wahlberg as Detective Danny Reagan, reprising his beloved role in a different city, with a new team, and a new mission.
Boston Blue shifts the focus from New York City’s law enforcement traditions to Boston’s deeply rooted culture, creating a world full of moral complexity, intergenerational conflict, and street-level justice. Wahlberg’s Danny, now transferred, brings his signature intensity to a department grappling with rising crime and fractured community trust.
CBS describes the series as “grittier, more character-driven, and unafraid to ask tough questions.” While still upholding the Reagan spirit, Boston Blue takes a bolder approach — one that mirrors today’s evolving landscape of policing and accountability.
