In Boston Blue, longtime NYPD detective Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) trades the Big Apple for Beantown when he takes a job with the Boston police department. He’s paired with Detective Lena Silver (Sonqua Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family. As he settles into his new role, he also works to reconnect with his son, Sean, who is embarking on his own career in Boston. 

In the premiere, Danny and Lena work together to investigate a deadly fire at a tech company. As the new partners 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.

‘Boston Blue’ also stars Ernie Hudson and Maggie Lawson

Photos from the first episode of Boston Blue offer more hints of what to expect from the new show. One shows members of the Silver family gathered around the table for a meal, suggesting that Blue Bloods’ family dinners will live on. Another offers the first look at the new Sean Reagan. The character was played by Andrew Terraciano on Blue Bloods but will be portrayed by Mika Amonsen in Boston Blue. 

Other Boston Blue cast members include Gloria Reuben as Boston district attorney Mae Silver, Maggie Lawson as police superintendent Sarah Silver, Marcus Scribner as rookie cop Jonah Silver, and Ernie Hudson as renowned Baptist pastor Reverend Edwin Peters.
