CBS is expanding the Blue Bloods universe with a brand-new spinoff called Boston Blue, and the biggest question fans are asking right now is: “Where can we watch it?” After more than a decade of Blue Bloods holding a steady place in American television, the network wants to ensure Boston Blue has the same wide reach.
Television: CBS is the first stop
As expected, Boston Blue will air on CBS, the same network that brought Blue Bloods to life. Viewers who prefer traditional TV can tune in during CBS’ primetime slot. Known for its strong lineup of police and procedural dramas such as NCIS, FBI, and of course Blue Bloods, CBS remains the perfect home for this highly anticipated spinoff.
Streaming: Paramount+ leads the way
Alongside its network premiere, Boston Blue will also stream on Paramount+, CBS and Paramount Global’s official streaming platform. This makes it easily accessible for younger audiences or fans abroad who prefer on-demand viewing. Paramount+ often offers complete back-catalogs, meaning fans will likely be able to rewatch Blue Bloods while diving into the fresh stories of Boston Blue.
Other options: VOD and international availability
Depending on the region, Boston Blue may also become available on Video on Demand (VOD) platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, or Google TV, where viewers can purchase individual episodes or full seasons. Additionally, CBS Studios frequently signs international distribution deals, so fans in Europe, Asia, or Australia may be able to watch through local broadcasters or regional streaming services.
Connecting with Blue Bloods: a shared legacy
What excites fans most is that Boston Blue isn’t just a brand-new drama—it’s an expansion of the world of Blue Bloods. While Blue Bloods focuses on the Reagan family in New York, Boston Blue shifts the spotlight to a new city, bringing in fresh characters and stories while still maintaining the spirit of its predecessor.
What fans can expect
By combining both traditional television broadcasting and streaming availability, Boston Blue is positioned to capture two audiences at once: loyal TV viewers and younger binge-watchers. This dual approach could be the key to the show’s success, continuing the legacy of the Blue Bloods brand.
In short: You’ll be able to watch Boston Blue on CBS (broadcast) and Paramount+ (streaming), with additional availability likely on VOD services and international networks.
