Donnie Wahlberg made sure that the news of BOSTON BLUE’s Season 2 renewal was something the cast would never forget.

“I had the pleasure of calling all my castmates and telling them… that we were getting a season two,” he told People of the moment. “And I did it, and every cast member got tears in their eyes, every single one of them, and so did I. And when I called Jenny [McCarthy, his wife] and told her about that, we shared a nice cry.”

BOSTON BLUE scored its renewal late last year, with Amy Reisenbach, President of CBS Entertainment, saying, “Two new shows on Friday night have become instant hits with audiences quickly embracing BOSTON BLUE and SHERIFF COUNTRY across broadcast and streaming.

“These early renewals reflect the power of character-driven storytelling, compelling narratives, and the exceptional talent on both sides of the camera that make these series truly stand out,” her statement continued.

BOSTON BLUE was nominated for Movieguide® Awards for Best Streaming for Mature Audiences and Faith & Freedom Award® For Television and Streaming.

 

The first season of BOSTON BLUE is still airing, with new episodes premiering every Friday through May 22 following its 2025 midseason finale. 

“The only reason Danny would ever move to Boston was for family,” series co-creator Brandon Sonnier told TV Line. “We felt like this midseason finale was the moment for him to declare, ‘I’m a part of this family now, too.’”

He described the episode’s action as Danny “planting his flag” in Boston and declaring that he was “part of [the] family now.”

Sonnier and co-creator Brandon Margolis also teased some exciting appearances in upcoming episodes of Season 1. 

“We can say there will be more Reagans appearing in the back half of the season,” Margolis shared. “It won’t be Jack. We love the idea, and we’re open to it if it makes sense storytelling-wise. We’re never closing the door on any of the Reagans or any possibility of bringing pieces from the larger universe into our bubble in Boston.”

Sonnier added, “We really wanted to establish the Silvers first. But now, especially coming out of the midseason finale, we’re fully embracing the Reagans as part of the larger Silver family. I don’t know that we should say which Reagans are coming, but there will be more — including some you haven’t seen on the show yet. And there are other branches of this family tree we’re excited to explore.”

BOSTON BLUE fans can’t wait for Season 2!
