Boston Blue has become one of CBS’s best successes of the 2026-27 season. The continuation of the long-running Blue Bloods has Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) moving to Boston to check on his son, Sean (Mika Amonsen), who’s a rookie patrolman. Danny joins the Boston PD, partnered with Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green), whose half-sister Sarah (Maggie Lawson) is the superintendent of detectives.
Speaking to TV Insider, Wahlberg, Martin-Green, Amonsen, and Marcus Scribner (who plays Sean’s partner and Lena’s brother Jonah) discussed what to expect for the last episodes of the season. First, the May 1 episode will have Bridget Moynahan returning as Danny’s sister Erin Reagan, who helps on a case involving a serial killer.
Wahlberg previewed, “It’s really a fun episode. Danny and Erin go off on an adventure. Lena goes off on a separate adventure, and we’re really apart for the first time in different worlds. It’s really like, where is she and where are they and what is happening, but it’s so fun. The Bridget storyline is so fun, and Lena starts to discover her family situation on a deeper level. It’s great.”
While that sounds good, it’s the finale that the cast is bragging about being a must-watch!
The logline for the season 1 finale, airing May 22, states, “A dangerous investigation collides with pivotal personal and professional decisions, pushing the team to their limits. As the D.A. election draws closer, shifting dynamics and an unexpected incident heighten the urgency and raise new questions for everyone involved.”
Early photos include the cast at a hospital with Sean’s hands covered in blood, making fans wonder if a main character will die.
Martin-Green confessed, “I wasn’t ready for how intense the finale is. Everybody goes through a transformation. We unearth a lot of things for everyone, and I think people are going to be satisfied, but then they’re also going to [want] more. That sounds general, but you’ll see how true it is.”
Wahlberg added, “There’s a lot of resolution in the finale up against a lot of loss. But the resolution, for all the characters in their lives, there’s a lot of resolution that allows us to move forward. We really hit our stride now in the back half of the first season. I think the audience is going to be blown away, honestly, at where we go.”
The show has kept up the tradition from Blue Bloods of ending with family dinners, this time with Danny and Sean joining the Silvers, including Jonah and Leah’s mother, Mae (Gloria Reuben), and grandfather Edwin (Ernie Hudson). Yet it sounds like the finale will be a much bigger gathering.
Scribner revealed there will be “a cliffhanger of some sort,” with Amonsen adding that “we’re going to stack it with some new characters. We won’t say who.”
Scribner tossed in that “It’s going to be the most stacked family dinner of all time,” as Amonsen agreed, “Absolutely stacked. So stacked right now.”
Is it possible some other Reagans could drop by to spark up this big dinner? Or that the Silvers somehow get an influx of friends? We’ll have to see as Boston Blue looks to wrap up its freshman series in grand style.
Boston Blue airs Fridays at 10/9c on CBS.
