Meet the Reagans: Your ‘Blue Bloods’ Family Guide Ahead of CBS’ ‘Boston Blue’
For more than a decade, Blue Bloods has invited viewers into the lives of the Reagan family — a multigenerational clan deeply rooted in New York City law enforcement. As CBS prepares to expand the beloved universe with the new spinoff Boston Blue, fans old and new are revisiting the characters who built the franchise’s legacy.
Below is your guide to the Reagan family — their roles, relationships, and the values that have made them one of television’s most iconic dynasties.
The Patriarch: Frank Reagan
Frank Reagan serves as New York City’s Police Commissioner, balancing the weight of leadership with the expectations of a family deeply tied to the NYPD. Stoic, principled, and unwaveringly dedicated, Frank embodies the moral backbone of the series.
The Next Generation: Danny, Erin, and Jamie
Danny Reagan
A seasoned NYPD detective, Danny is known for his intensity, instinct-driven approach, and relentless pursuit of justice. As a widowed father, his life at home adds emotional depth to his on-the-job grit.
Erin Reagan
As an Assistant District Attorney, Erin represents the legal mind of the family. Smart, steady, and unafraid to challenge her brothers, she often finds herself mediating the gray areas where law and justice collide.
Jamie Reagan
The youngest Reagan son, Jamie began as a beat cop before rising through the ranks. Thoughtful and composed, he often brings a balanced and empathetic viewpoint to the family table — and to the NYPD.
A Legacy That Endures
At the heart of Blue Bloods is the Reagan tradition: Sunday family dinners, spirited debates, and an unbroken commitment to service. These elements have shaped the show’s identity and connected millions of viewers to the family’s triumphs and tragedies.
Looking Ahead to ‘Boston Blue’
With Boston Blue, CBS promises a fresh chapter set in a new city — but one that still echoes the themes that made Blue Bloods a success. While the spinoff introduces new characters and storylines, the foundation laid by the Reagans continues to define the franchise’s spirit: loyalty, justice, and the complexities of family.
Whether you’re preparing to follow the next generation of law enforcement storytelling or revisiting the Reagan legacy, one thing is certain — the world of Blue Bloods is far from finished.
