The Blue Bloods spinoff, Boston Blue, has found its cast after slowly revealing the actors will star in the CBS show this fall. Besides star Donnie Wahlberg as Danny Reagan, the last two puzzle pieces for the Silver family have finally taken shape. Danny moves from the NYPD to the Boston PD where he will be partnered with Detective Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green). Her casting, which was announced in May, was crucial to the show because she’s the eldest daughter in the notable law enforcement family.
Now, they’ve revealed the final two members of the Silver family. Gloria Reuben, best known for her role as Jeanie Boulet in ER, will play Mae Silver, a widow and the district attorney of Boston, according to Deadline. Her late husband was a judge who was gunned down on the city’s courthouse steps and now, she’s doing her best to put her family first. Reuben’s on-screen son, Jonah Silver, was revealed on June 11 by Variety — and the actor is a familiar face to black-ish fans. Marcus Scribner, who played Andre Johnson, Jr. for eight seasons on the ABC sitcom, was cast as Boston Blue’s rookie cop on the force.
Ernie Hudson was already announced as Rev. Peters, a well-respected pastor of a historic Baptist church, father to Mae, and grandfather to Lena. Also in the mix to the blended family is Psych star Maggie Lawson, who joins the cast as Lena’s stepsister. She will be “the strong-willed and decisive” superintendent for the Boston PD, per Deadline. CBS released a short promo for Boston Blue in March which Wahlberg reposted for his Instagram fans. He wrote in the caption, “So excited to carry on the tradition, to share so many surprises, to answer some unanswered questions, and to welcome all of you — to #BostonBlue! The next chapter in the #BlueBloods legacy begins. I can’t wait. See you CBS fall!”
