CBS has debuted first-look photos from Boston Blue, the upcoming spinoff of Blue Bloods that introduces audiences to a new multigenerational law enforcement family: the Silvers.
The new images reveal Sonequa Martin-Green as Detective Lena Silver alongside Donnie Wahlberg reprising his role as Danny Reagan. Bridget Moynahan also returns as Erin Reagan in the premiere, offering a nod to Blue Bloods while ushering in a new chapter.
Meet the Silver Family
Boston Blue centers on the Silvers, a Boston-based family of law and order:
- Mae Silver (Gloria Reuben) – Boston’s District Attorney and matriarch.
- Detective Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green) – Eldest daughter and Danny’s new partner.
- Sarah Silver (Maggie Lawson) – Police Superintendent and Lena’s stepsister.
- Jonah Silver (Marcus Scribner) – Rookie patrol officer trying to prove himself.
- Reverend Edwin Peters (Ernie Hudson) – Mae’s father and the family’s spiritual leader.
What Boston Blue Is About
The pilot follows Danny Reagan as he relocates to Boston, where he joins forces with Detective Lena Silver to investigate a deadly tech-company fire. Their investigation reveals a tangled web of facial recognition tech, buried family secrets, and a pursuit of justice that intertwines the Reagan and Silver families.
A New Tone for a Familiar Legacy
While the imagery nods to the family-centered spirit of Blue Bloods, the tone of Boston Blue leans grittier and more modern, carving out its own identity. Wahlberg has called Martin-Green “the only choice” for Lena Silver, and both actors have emphasized that audiences will come to love the Silvers just as they did the Reagans.
Premiere Date
Boston Blue takes over Blue Bloods’ longtime slot on Friday, October 17 at 10/9c on CBS, with next-day streaming on Paramount+.
