CBS announced today that the new series Boston Blue (working title) was given a straight-to-series pickup, which will air in the 2025-2026 broadcast season, but there’s a surprising twist to the story.
According to Deadline, Boston Blue was not initially conceived as a Blue Bloods spinoff. But when CBS read a script they had received about a family of police officers in Boston whose eldest daughter is partnered with a new transfer from LAPD, they got the idea to add Wahlberg to the mix, since he was born and raised in Boston. The network saw it as a prime opportunity to finally expand the Blue Bloods universe.
When the network broached Boston Blue creators Brandon Sonnier & Brandon Margolis with the idea, they agreed to the change, and then the conversation with Wahlberg began. Wahlberg has long said that he wasn't ready to put Danny Reagan to bed, so he agreed. And, hopefully, he will have input into the new series so that Danny remains the same Reagan we love.

The official description for the character of rookie cop Jonah Silver is: "the youngest member of the Silver family and is in law enforcement like his mother and sisters — each of whom are formidable in their own ways. Always the cool kid growing up, Jonah carries himself with confidence and swagger in all situations, so he’s naturally frustrated at being a rookie cop on the sidelines of the city’s biggest investigations.”
