Boston Blue Brings Back a Blue Bloods Character — But Not Who Fans Expected
Fans of Blue Bloods have a reason to pay close attention to CBS’s upcoming series Boston Blue. The creators have officially confirmed that the new show will feature the return of a familiar character from the long-running police drama — but it’s not the one many viewers were hoping to see.
According to the show’s creative team, Boston Blue will welcome back Detective Danny Reagan’s former partner, Jackie Curatola, marking her first on-screen appearance in the franchise in years. The decision is meant to create a stronger narrative bridge between Blue Bloods and its spinoff, while giving longtime fans a sense of continuity as the story shifts to a new city and a new team.
However, the creators also made it clear that another fan-favorite Reagan family member will not be appearing in the series. Despite widespread speculation, there are currently no plans for Danny Reagan himself to cross over into Boston Blue. The team emphasized that while the shows share the same universe, Boston Blue is intended to stand on its own rather than rely heavily on recurring cameos.
This approach allows the new series to honor Blue Bloods’ legacy while still carving out its own identity. For viewers, that means familiar faces may pop up from time to time — just not always the ones they expect.
Boston Blue is set to expand the Blue Bloods universe in a fresh direction, blending nostalgia with new storylines as it introduces audiences to a different side of law enforcement.
