Boston Blue, CBS’s spinoff of Blue Bloods, premiered on Friday, October 17. The episode reunited Donnie Wahlberg and Marisa Ramirez on screen, which thrilled fans, who had long been speculating about the fate of their characters, Danny Reagan and Maria Baez.
The show began with Danny’s move to Boston from New York after his son Sean, played by Mika Amonsen, was severely injured during a shooting which escalated into a building fire, per People.
Just minutes into the premiere, fans were treated to Maria Baez’s (Marisa Ramirez) reappearance, indicating she had grown closer to Danny since Blue Bloods ended in 2024. The episode also featured Bridget Moynahan’s Erin Reagan, who visits Sean in the hospital.
Fresh start, familiar emotions
While Boston Blue introduces a new law enforcement family led by Sonequa Martin-Green’s character Lena Silver, Wahlberg’s Danny Reagan remains the emotional core of the story. The premiere episode follows Danny as he joins forces with Boston detectives to investigate a deadly fire at a tech company. Their probe uncovers a network of secrets involving facial recognition technology and deep family ties.
