CBS today announced a straight-to-series order for BOSTON BLUE (working title), a new drama starring Donnie Wahlberg, for the 2025-2026 broadcast season.
In BOSTON BLUE, a universe expansion of the long-running top drama BLUE BLOODS, Wahlberg will reprise his role as NYPD officer Danny Reagan as he takes a position with Boston PD. Once in Boston, he is paired with Detective Lena Peters, the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.
BOSTON BLUE is produced by CBS Studios in association with JBTV. Brandon Sonnier & Brandon Margolis will showrun and executive produce. Jerry Bruckheimer, KristieAnne Reed, and Wahlberg will also serve as executive producers.
Brandon Sonnier & Brandon Margolis (“The Blacklist,” S.W.A.T.) started in the NBC Writers on the Verge program (now NBCU LAUNCH). After five seasons on the long-running NBC hit “The Blacklist,” they developed and showran “L.A.’s Finest,” the Sony and JBTV produced “Bad Boys” spinoff starring Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba, which ran for two seasons on Spectrum before subsequent successful runs on Fox and Netflix. The Brandons are currently executive producers on the upcoming third season of Fox’s missing persons procedural “Alert: MPU.”
For CBS, JBTV currently produces THE AMAZING RACE, FIRE COUNTRY, and the upcoming universe expansion SHERIFF COUNTRY, and have been in an overall deal with CBS Studios since 2017.
