Wee-woo! That’s the best siren sound we could come up with to alert you that the debut trailer for Boston Blue has officially clocked in for its shift. That’s right Blue Bloods fans, your favorite son, Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg), is officially back in action and this time there’s a novel set of family dynamics at play for the offshoot series that will celebrate its grand premiere on CBS on Friday, October 17.
The pulse-pounding teaser might be low in time, but it’s overflowing with action as we see Wahlberg’s Detective running through the streets of Boston in scorching pursuit of his perp. Little does he know, he’s also being pursued, as a police officer rolls up on him with her gun drawn. As the unnamed woman (who we know as Sonequa Martin-Green’s Lena Silver) draws her weapon and tells Danny to halt, he reveals his identity to her and urges her to find his shield in his front pocket. It isn’t the kind of meet cute we were expecting, but it is the perfect way for these two characters to collide into one another’s lives. The rest of the first look lays out how things will go down in Boston Blue, teasing how the series parallels the beloved show that came before it and in what ways it will be completely and utterly different.
Earlier this afternoon, as part of the CBS Fall 2025 Virtual Press Day, Boston Blue showrunner Brandon Sonnier teased that the novel series would have a Jerry Bruckheimer-like spin on its pacing, which can be fully seen in the first teaser. Bruckheimer serves as an executive producer on the project and the visionary stamp that he left on titles like Armageddon, Top Gun, and Black Hawk Down, can be spotted throughout. Meanwhile, during that same conference, Martin-Green opened up about how significant the aspect of family would play in Boston Blue, which we can again see in the first look as a familiar dinner table tradition unfolds — albeit with a novel family.
Who Else Stars in ‘Boston Blue’?
While today’s debut trailer focused on the new-found partnership between Wahlberg and Martin-Green’s characters, there are plenty of other intriguing characters played by the best of the best in the industry. Filling out the ensemble cast is a lineup that includes Ernie Hudson, Maggie Lawson, Gloria Reuben, Marcus Scribner, and Mika Amonsen. Additionally, Blue Bloods star, Bridget Moynihan, is also on-board to reprise her role as Erin Reagan, the younger sister to Wahlberg’s Danny Reagen.
