Boston Blue And Sheriff Country Season 2 Renewed by CBS

CBS has confirmed early renewals for two of its freshman series: Boston Blue and Sheriff Country. Both shows received the green light for a second season after just six episodes, reflecting their rapid success with audiences across broadcast and streaming platforms.

The strong reception of our new Friday night series demonstrates the appeal of character-driven plots and the outstanding talent involved both in front of and behind the camera, said Amy Reisenbach, President of CBS Entertainment.

Boston Blue: Season 2 Details

A spin-off of Blue Bloods, Boston Blue brings back Donnie Wahlberg as Danny Reagan. In the series, Reagan joins the Boston Police Department and partners with Detective Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green), the eldest member of a prominent law enforcement family.

The Silver family includes Boston District Attorney Mae Silver (Gloria Reuben), Detective Lena Silver, Police Superintendent Sarah Silver (Maggie Lawson), rookie cop Jonah Silver (Marcus Scribner), and respected pastor Reverend Edwin Peters (Ernie Hudson). As Reagan settles in Boston, he also attempts to rebuild his relationship with his younger son Sean (Mika Amonsen), who is starting his own career in the city.
