When Boston Blue was cancelled in 2024, and officially came to an end in December, its stars and fans made no secret of their disappointment with the news.
Some consolation came when the show, or at least its Danny Reagan character, was subsequently revived with the spin-off Boston Blue, which has proved so popular, it’s coming back for a second season.

Per Deadline, Boston Blue, which in addition to Donnie Wahlberg stars Sonequa Martin-Green, Ernie Hudson, Maggie Lawson, Gloria Reuben, Marcus Scribner, and Mika Amonsen, is averaging 8M viewers in live + seven-day, and the network says streaming alone has seen an 87% lift from last season.
In a statement, President of CBS Entertainment Amy Reisenbach said: “Two new shows on Friday night have become instant hits with audiences quickly embracing Boston Blue and Sheriff Country across broadcast and streaming,” adding: “These early renewals reflect the power of character-driven storytelling, compelling narratives and the exceptional talent on both sides of the camera.”
