We knew as Blue Bloods came to an end that CBS wasn’t quite done with the universe. There was talk of a spin-off series. Now that spin-off is in development.
Titled Boston Blue, the spin-off series will follow a new group of cops. However, we will get to see one of the Reagan family members. It’s not the spin-off we expected, or arguably wanted, but at least the universe is continuing. This keeps the door open for other spin-off shows.
What is Boston Blue going to be about?
The series is technically not a spin-off. It’s being billed as a franchise expansion, but really, it’s a spin-off. That being said, we’re heading to a new city, as the title of the series suggests. We’re going to Boston, where Danny Reagan will take a new position.
He’ll work with new partner Detective Lena Peters, the daughter of a prominent law enforcement official. There is still a family element to the series for the cops, highlighting how it’s often a generational pride thing for police officers.
Where is Baez in Boston Blue?
The last we left Danny and Baez in the Blue Bloods series finale, there was a hint that they would end up together. They decided to grab dinner together, finally seemingly to give some fans what they had hoped for. Now it looks like that isn’t happening.
Why wouldn’t Baez and Danny still work together? This could suggest that the relationship didn’t go anywhere in the end. It seems unlikely considering how rooted Danny was in New York, but maybe he decided that he wanted a change.
When will the Blue Bloods spin-off come to CBS?
The series has landed a straight-to-series order. That means CBS is happy with it, and the network knows that this series is set to be a success.
However, it’s not yet set for the fall 2025 schedule. It certainly makes sense to bring the spin-off as soon as possible, and I’d say to put it in the Blue Bloods timeslot. That makes the most sense as that timeslot performed well for the former series and the fans will still view it as that show’s slot, even while SWAT is in it right now.
The aim is for the 2025–2026 season. So, fall 2025 is the earliest that it could arrive.
