Donnie Wahlberg<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s Boston Blue<\/em> is returning for a second season \u2014 so who is and isn\u2019t returning after a major recasting?<\/p>\n

Before Boston Blue<\/em>, Blue Bloods<\/em><\/a> followed the lives of the Reagan family, many of whom work for the NYPD under the leadership of NYC police commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck<\/strong>). Frank\u2019s father, Henry Reagan (Len Cariou<\/strong>), was also central to the show, alongside Frank\u2019s children: daughter Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan<\/strong>) and sons Danny (Wahlberg) and Jamie Reagan (Will Estes<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

The show aired from 2010 to 2024 before CBS announced a spinoff.<\/a> Wahlberg\u2019s character is at the center of the spinoff, which picks up as the former NYPD officer takes on a position with the Boston P.D. He is then paired with detective Lena (Sonequa Martin-Green<\/strong>), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.<\/p>\n

Despite keeping a lot of details the same, Boston Blue<\/em> went through changes when<\/a> Mika Amonsen<\/strong> was added to the cast as Sean, which was originated by Andrew Terraciano<\/strong>. Boston Blue<\/em> found success and was renewed after breaking records for CBS.<\/p>\n

Keep scrolling to see which cast members are \u2014 and aren\u2019t \u2014 coming back when the show returns for season 2:<\/p>\n
