‘Boston Blue’ Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Air?

[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for the Boston Blue series premiere, “Faith and Family.”]

The Reagan family returned to the small screen in the series premiere of the first Blue Bloods spinoff, Boston Blue, on Friday, October 17, on CBS. With it came a thrilling update on Danny Reagan’s (Donnie Wahlberg) personal life that fans have been waiting for, along with a cameo from Bridget Moynahan as Erin Reagan-Boyle and the introduction of a new law-enforcement family, the Silvers, with whom viewers will be enjoying a weekly family dinner just like the predecessor. Now that Boston Blue has debuted, we’re breaking down the release schedule and what to expect this season.

Boston Blue Season 1 Episode 1 aired on October 17 and introduced fans to the new actor playing Sean Reagan, Mika Amonsen. Sean was played by Andrew Terraciano in Blue Bloods, with his real-life brother, Tony Terraciano, playing Sean’s big brother, Jack. Jack didn’t appear in the series premiere, and it’s not currently known if he will, but he’s undoubtedly going to be mentioned if not seen later this season (there’s no word on if a different actor would play Jack either).

The most thrilling part of the episode for longtime Blue Bloods fans was Danny’s first scene. When he first appears in the pilot, he’s in a bedroom with his girlfriend: Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez). Yes, they finally went there. Danny and Baez are officially a couple after the Blue Bloods series finale teased their first date, which came after years of fans hoping that the flirtatious detectives would get together. But now that Danny is in Boston for the foreseeable future following Sean’s injury incurred on the job with the Boston Police Department, Danny and Baez will be doing the long-distance relationship grind. (Get an inside look at the episode with Ramirez and the show’s creators here.)

Boston Blue stars Wahlberg, Sonequa Martin-Green, Gloria Reuben, Ernie Hudson, Maggie Lawson, Marcus Scribner, and Amonsen. Here’s a breakdown of the Boston Blue release schedule for Season 1.
