CBS has officially rounded out the cast of the Silver family in Boston Blue, the highly anticipated spinoff of Blue Bloods. Actor Marcus Scribner has been tapped to play Jonah Silver, the youngest member of the family and a rookie cop eager to prove himself.
The Silver Family – The Heart of Boston Blue
Just as the Reagan family has been the emotional core of Blue Bloods in New York, the Silvers are set to take center stage in Boston. Built around multiple generations tied to law and justice, the Silver family offers both a sharp contrast and a natural parallel to the Reagan dynasty.
-
Mae Silver (Gloria Reuben) – The formidable District Attorney and matriarch of the family.
-
Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green) – The eldest daughter, a skilled detective with resilience and grit.
-
Sarah Silver (Maggie Lawson) – Mae’s stepdaughter, now serving as Boston PD’s Superintendent, balancing professional authority with family dynamics.
-
Jonah Silver (Marcus Scribner) – The newly announced character, the youngest son and a rookie officer facing the challenge of living up to his family’s legacy.
-
Reverend Peters (Ernie Hudson) – Lena’s grandfather, embodying tradition, faith, and moral guidance.
Carrying Forward the Blue Bloods Legacy
For more than a decade, Blue Bloods has captivated audiences with the Reagan family’s Sunday dinners — a blend of justice, duty, and family bonds. Boston Blue aims to honor that legacy while charting a fresh course, with a new city, a new family, and complex intergenerational conflicts.
Marcus Scribner’s casting completes the central lineup, solidifying the foundation for what could become television’s next iconic family drama. CBS is positioning Boston Blue not just as a continuation but as a bold expansion of the beloved Blue Bloods universe.
A Promising Sign for Fans
While CBS has yet to reveal an official premiere date, the completed Silver family and powerhouse ensemble point to Boston Blue as one of the most anticipated series of the upcoming TV season. For longtime Blue Bloods fans, the question now is whether the Silvers can step into the spotlight and build a legacy as enduring as the Reagans.
