While Blue Bloods was about legacy, Boston Blue is about reinvention. The new cast of this spinoff introduces a very different world — younger, sharper, and more divided than the Reagan dynasty we’ve known for 14 years.
Confirmed so far:
-
Tatyana Ali stars as Detective Ayanna Locke, a street-smart Boston native balancing police work and family secrets.
-
Scott Caan plays Jack Callahan, a third-generation cop with old-school instincts and a brewing crisis of faith.
-
Lance Gross is ADA Evan Brooks, a passionate reformist trying to fix a system that resists change.
Together, they represent the messy, human side of justice — where the line between right and wrong isn’t always clear, and trust must be earned every day.
Insiders describe the tone as Blue Bloods meets The Wire, with longer arcs, more personal stakes, and heavier emotional beats. Instead of Sunday dinners, these characters gather in bars, courtrooms, and alleyways — carrying trauma, pride, and responsibility in equal measure.
It’s not your grandfather’s blue. It’s the next generation.
