CBS is expanding the Blue Bloods universe with its Boston Blue spinoff — but who makes up the cast?
Blue Bloods, which premiered in 2010, followed the lives of the Reagan family, many of whom worked for the NYPD under the leadership of NYC police commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck). Frank and his father, Henry Reagan (Len Cariou), were central to the show alongside Frank’s children: daughter Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan) and sons Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Jamie Reagan (Will Estes).
After Blue Bloods ended in December 2024, CBS confirmed it wasn’t completely the end by picking up a show centered around Wahlberg’s character.
“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!” Wahlberg wrote via Instagram in March 2025. “The next chapter in the #BlueBloods legacy begins. I can’t wait. See you CBS fall! .”
What to Know About 'Blue Bloods' Spinoff 'Boston Blue' — Including Cameos
While several Blue Bloods alums expressed interest in making appearances, it remains to be seen who will actually join Boston Blue. Tom Selleck discussed joining another project in the Blue Bloods universe, telling Parade in December 2024, “I’m open to suggestions, because I love Frank Reagan, but nobody’s really asked. I don’t see him retiring and going off somewhere.”
Michael Parmelee/CBSVanessa Ray, meanwhile, teased to TV Insider in October 2024, “I would do anything with these people. So, yes, of course. I don’t know what world it would make sense for Eddie to be in a spinoff at all. But if they need to put me in a wig and dye my eyebrows and I’ll play a different character just so I get to hang out with all of them more, then I’ll do it.”
CBS, however, has been busy building out the cast with several newcomers. Keep scrolling to meet the Boston Blue cast — and get a breakdown of who they play:

“We love the Reagans. We have all loved the Reagans for so long,” she said in a statement after joining the show in May 2025. “And I feel that we’ll love the Peters too. I’m super excited for this partnership, and to be back in a CBS family — and in this family, your family. It means a lot, and I’m grateful for it. I think we’re going to have a good time.”
