Sonequa Martin-Green Joins Blue Bloods Spinoff Boston Blue
It’s always a little bittersweet when a beloved show wraps up, isn't it? We’ve spent so many years with the Reagan family, sharing their triumphs and their struggles around that iconic dinner table. So when I heard about Boston Blue, a new spinoff from the creators of Blue Bloods, I admit I was curious, maybe even a tad skeptical. Could this new show capture that same magic?
As it turns out, the folks behind Boston Blue seem to be banking on it. From what I've gathered, they’re intentionally weaving familiar threads from the original series into this new narrative. It’s like getting a comforting hug from an old friend, but with a fresh perspective. We see familiar faces, like Donnie Wahlberg reprising his role as Danny Reagan, and even nods to the cherished family dinners. It makes sense, really. Why reinvent the wheel when the original has been so successful? It’s understandable that they'd want to ease viewers into this new world, and using the established blueprint feels like a smart move.
One of the most intriguing additions is Sonequa Martin-Green, who steps into the role of Lena, a Boston PD detective and part of a whole new law enforcement family. The articles suggest she’s already forming a dynamic partnership with Danny, reminiscent of his rapport with Maria Baez. It's fascinating to see how these new relationships will develop and whether they can stand on their own while still honoring the legacy of Blue Bloods.
What’s really striking, though, is the clear ambition to keep the Blue Bloods universe alive and expanding. Donnie Wahlberg himself is clearly passionate about this, hoping Boston Blue can carry the torch and even dreaming of a big crossover movie event. It's that kind of dedication that makes you wonder what’s next for this world. Will the new characters, like Sonequa Martin-Green’s Lena, carve out their own significant space, or will they forever be viewed through the lens of their predecessors? Only time, and of course, the audience’s reception, will tell.
