Nearly a year after the series finale of “Blue Bloods,” the Reagan family’s story will continue.
“Boston Blue,” a new spin-off that follows a member of the Reagan family as they head north to take on a new job, premieres tonight, Oct. 17, on CBS.
Donnie Wahlberg will reprise his role as former NYPD detective Danny Reagan, who moves to Boston to take a detective position in the Boston Police Department. In a situation similar to his own family’s, he’s paired with a “rising star” in the department and a member of a prominent family within the BPD, Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green).
Per CBS, in the premiere episode, “NYPD detective Danny Reagan teams up with Boston detective Lena Silver to investigate a deadly fire at a tech company. As they dig deeper, they uncover a complex web of secrets involving facial recognition technology, family ties and a search for justice that brings the Silver and Reagan families closer together.”
